Photo of Studio 54 Band Studio 54 Band "An excellent band! An excellent band! They were flexible and adaptable throughout, and demonstrated great expertise. We wanted to do something different with songs in English that our guests could enjoy at an international wedding. They absolutely nailed it! Highly recommended!" 27th April 2026 Paul & Sam - private wedding Photo of Alexis Corey Music- NYC Diva Alexis Corey Music- NYC Diva "We engaged the artist for our annual partners’ dinner and the performance was pitched perfectly for the room. It was sophisticated without being stuffy, lively without overwhelming conversation. The transitions between cocktail hour and dinner service were seamless, and several of our international clients specifically commented on the quality of the entertainment in their follow-up correspondence. Highly recommended for executive-level events." 11th May 2026 Katharina Brandt - Corporate Gala, Munich Germany Photo of Vintage Sound Collective Vintage Sound Collective "Amazing band. Saw them for the first time at the Woodley Carnival this weekend, and they had young and old up on their feet with their high energy soul funk material...and as for their versions of Tina Turner songs, that was Tina up there on the stage. Brilliant." 15th June 2026 John Szabanowicz - Carnival Photo of The Easy Rollers The Easy Rollers "Stellar musicianship, musicality and fun. A wonderful evening with such talented musicians.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring vintage themed bands is £500, with prices from £150 to £1,750+. Pricing depends on the number of musicians, set duration and whether the act includes themed costumes, vintage staging or additional visual elements. Vintage-themed bands span a range of eras, from 1920s jazz to 1960s rock, so the style and size of the act both influence cost.

Many vintage themed bands perform in authentic vintage attire appropriate to their era of music, from 1920s flapper dresses and suits to 1950s rock and roll outfits. This adds a visual element that enhances the atmosphere at themed events. Gig Heaven recommends asking about costume options when making an enquiry.

Hiring vintage themed bands is popular for vintage-themed weddings, Gatsby and prohibition parties, afternoon teas, corporate events, garden parties and retro celebrations. Vintage music adds charm and character to events with a classic or nostalgic theme.

The vintage themed bands in Bath, England, United Kingdom perform music spanning the 1920s through to the 1960s, covering styles such as jazz, swing, rock and roll, doo-wop, skiffle and Motown. Many bands also offer modern songs performed in a vintage style, such as acoustic or swing versions of contemporary hits.

Smaller formats are widely offered, often a singer and piano or a three-piece, and they suit afternoon receptions where a full band would dominate. The larger line-ups carry the brass that defines much of the period's sound. Booking a small group for the day and the full act for the evening is a common compromise.

Many acts perform modern songs arranged in the style of their era, which lands well with guests who do not know the original material. Others stay strictly period and treat that as the point of the booking. Both work, so it is worth asking which approach an act takes before choosing between them.

Most are self-contained and bring a PA suited to the room, though acts built around acoustic instruments often need less than a modern band. Period-styled microphones and stands are usually part of the look rather than the sound, and come with the act. Venues with their own system should mention it, as it can reduce what has to be transported.
