5/5 from 433 reviews
Photo of Jacarandas - Wedding & Party Band Jacarandas - Wedding & Party Band "Thank you so much for last night, you guys were amazing. Everyone has said how great the music was. Hope you all got home OK!" Based in Bradford, England (16 miles from Harrogate) 21st April 2026 Harriet & Josh - Wedding Photo of The 40 Thieves The 40 Thieves "Thanks for your set at our local community festival over the weekend. It was very well received and it was lovely to see lots of people singing along to all the classics you played. Hopefully you'll be available for us to have on the bill again next year." Based in York, England (19 miles from Harrogate) Rob Bowes - Festival Photo of The Backbeats The Backbeats "The Backbeats were fantastic to work with and were thoroughly enjoyed by the guests at Frances's 60th birthday party. Martyn was very easy to communicate with in the lead-up to the party, and when we needed to change their set times, they were happy to adapt. I would be more than happy to book them again in the future. Emma Sanders - Blind Tiger Events" Based in Burnley, England (31 miles from Harrogate) 29th July 2026 Emma Sanders - 60th Birthday Photo of The Fourmost The Fourmost "I just thought I’d drop you a line to congratulate you on the tremendous contribution The Fourmost made to our recent cruise aboard the Celebrity Eclipse. The set you performed on Deck 3 in the foyer on the Sunday was really fantastic and I’m sure you’ll have appreciated the enthusiastic reception and sing-a-long that accompanied it. It was, after the technical issues you encountered, certainly well worth waiting for and a positive highlight of the weekend’s entertainment. So after an extended break to include visiting my partner’s new grandson, I’m now back at home and have been checking your website for future concerts near our home in York and to see if any live performances were available on CD that would provide a lasting reminder of the weekend. Sadly at the present time, it would appear that there are no concerts in our area and it may be we have to leave it until you’re in Whitby next year. Even more disappointing though, is the discovery that you have no live material on CD – do you have any plans to release any ? Anyway that aside, let me congratulate you once again, wish you all the best for the remainder of your 2019 gigs and most of all, thank you for keeping the music alive." Based in Leyland, England (51 miles from Harrogate) George Sewell - Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Photo of The Minesweepers The Minesweepers "Amazing band, would highly recommend!! These boys had our dance floor filled for the entire two sets and were the icing on the cake for our special day!" Based in Lincoln, England (67 miles from Harrogate) 9th April 2026 Gareth Morecombe - Wedding Photo of Kiki Music Collective Kiki Music Collective "Phenomenal from the moment we booked them to the final song of the night. We had them perform throughout our entire wedding day and it was like having three different magical experiences all in one. Kiki sang solo during our ceremony and gave us the most emotional, unforgettable moment walking down the aisle. Then, for the drinks reception, the duo created the perfect relaxed, happy vibe that had everyone smiling. And later, the full band brought the party to life in a way we’ll never forget and the dance floor was packed all night long. What really set them apart beyond the unreal vocals and musical talent was how much thought and care went into the planning. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, she just handled and as a Bride planning a wedding, it's priceless. We’ve had so much positive feedback how Kiki connected with every moment so if you’re thinking about booking them you will not be disappointed. Kiki Music Collective were a massive highlight of our day and there were many but they made it feel so special, personal, and unforgettable. Thank you for everything Kiki and Mumager and the Boyz - I just want to do it all again!" Based in Liverpool, England (71 miles from Harrogate) Hilary Waller - Wedding

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.
