Reviews of Oldies Bands based near Frome

5/5 from 45 reviews
Photo of The Hound Dogs The Hound Dogs "No words I write can do these guys justice as to just how amazing they are. The Hound dogs played at our wedding and EVERYONE loved them. The band had everyone up dancing and singing along. Nigel was fantastic, it was all very easy booking the band and selecting what songs we liked. We also used them to DJ after the band had finished playing, again, all our favourite songs were played and everyone was up dancing. We had the pleasure of having Nigel play at a 30th a few years ago and having him and the band play at our wedding was just fantastic. They sounded and looked amazing and were lovely to talk to. The band left everyone wanting more and they were only too happy to oblige when everyone chanted for 'one more song'. Thanks again for being part of our day ❤️" Based in Warminster, England (6 miles from Frome) Katharine Dudley-Dapson - Wedding Photo of Kirsty and The River Rats Kirsty and The River Rats "Wow,! We had 150 crammed into the pub. The River Rats were fantastic" Based in Shepton Mallet, England (10 miles from Frome) 9th December 2025 The strode arms Photo of Audio Vultures Audio Vultures "When you organise a party it's always a worry that you get the band right and people genuinely enjoy themselves. Thank you so much for all the compliments that I received about how great YOU are! We had a fantastic evening and even the non-dancers were very enthused about your set. Your lead singer has an amazing ability to cross genres and ranges and did so incredibly well. If I have anything else that needs a band, I'm coming to you!" Based in Bristol, England (20 miles from Frome) Shelly Carr Dolyle - Wedding Photo of we're broke up we're broke up "We were delighted with the 19Sixties at our joint 70th birthday party at the Bishops Palace in Wells last Saturday. We are renowned for our parties so you had a tough act to follow but you created a great atmosphere and everyone thought the music was fantastic. It was especially good for me as you kindly allowed me to run through a couple of songs in advance of the party so I could re-live my youth as an aged rocker. This made it special for me and I’d like to thank you, Garf and Wayne for accommodating me in such a welcoming fashion. Well done and I have no hesitation in recommending you for similar events. Best wishes Peter Rowntree" Based in Bristol, England (20 miles from Frome) Peter Rowntree - Birthday Party Photo of Four and a Half Shades Four and a Half Shades "Saw these guys play at a function recently, very professional, great sound and created a great atmosphere. They had everyone up dancing and singing along!! Would highly recommend booking..!"

I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback about your set tonight. It was really enjoyable, and we will definitely have you back again in the future. On a personal note, thank you for being so accommodating with communication via email. It made the process so much easier for myself so thank you. If you have anywhere I can leave a feedback/ review then let me know as I will happily provide one. Thank you once again. Many thanks Charlotte" Based in Bournemouth, England (40 miles from Frome) 24th November 2025 Charlotte - Corporate event

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring oldies bands is £500, with prices from £150 to £2,100+. Pricing depends on band size, performance length and the range of decades covered. Oldies bands typically perform hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s and vary from compact trios to larger groups with multiple vocalists.

The oldies bands for hire typically cover hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s, including rock and roll, doo-wop, Motown, pop, disco and classic rock. Many bands offer a broad greatest-hits style setlist that touches on multiple decades of popular music.

Hiring oldies bands is ideal for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weddings, corporate events, retirement parties and any occasion where nostalgia and sing-along favourites will get guests on their feet. Most bands have a broad repertoire that can be tailored to the age group and tastes of the audience.

Many oldies bands can tailor their setlist to focus on a particular era if requested. Whether the event calls for 1960s Motown, 1970s disco or a broader oldies mix, most bands are flexible. It is advisable to discuss your preferences when making an enquiry.

Most oldies bands provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event spaces. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming technical details before booking.

The repertoire is built to be recognised, so a mixed-age room usually finds common ground faster than it would with a single-genre act. Older guests get the original hits and younger ones know most of them from film and television. Where one age group dominates, say so, and the band can weight the set rather than spreading it thin.

Most stay close to the records, since recognition is the whole point, though tempos are often lifted a little for a dance floor. Some acts modernise the backing while keeping the melody, which suits a younger crowd. Asking which approach an act takes is worth doing, as it changes the feel more than the song list does.

Most bookings place the band after the meal and the speeches, once guests are ready to be on their feet. An earlier slot works for a daytime event or where something lighter is wanted while people arrive. The booking is normally split into two performances with a gap between, so the room can eat or move.
