“What a band! Second time we have hired them and would do so tomorrow again if we could find the excuse for them! Acoustically perfect - Vintage Roots are a bunch of just really nice people who showed us a great party! My only regret was how quickly the night went but we had three full fantastic sets over the day and the right mix of classics and modern Dolly Parton and Arctic Monkeys go together really well with this band! Just brilliant!”

“Vintage Roots are, in one word, FANTASTIC. They absolutely were on-time, friendly, chatty, easy going and helpful during setup. Their performance was great and the second set on particular, once our guests had put down their pizza and had a few drinks, really got everyone dancing and singing along. We had so many positive comments from guests and my wife and I were 100% pleased with everything they did all night. We really couldn't be happier. We do not have any similar events planned soon but will recommend them if anyone asks for sure. Thank you to all concerned.”

Our wedding party were incredibly happy and lively and I think drowned out the singers half the time due to their enthusiasm! The band got the party rocking like you wouldn't believe. Everyone was having such an amazing time. I have a video of the whole venue chanting "one more song" before the band played their final song! I even believe my father tried to get them to name their price for 5 more songs (unfortunately they declined as they were sweltering under the heat). I know it was hot for them and they did amazing to play so brilliantly under the conditions. Amazing amazing amazing. Please do pass on how much fun we had.”

“Hi Phoebe, We just wanted to send a short note to thank you so much for all your help with organising Vintage Roots for our Wedding. The band were absolutely incredible! The moment we took to the floor for our first dance and heard them sing the song that they had learnt for us, we knew we (and the rest of our wedding party) were in for a treat! Ultimately, the fact that the dance floor was full up for the whole evening indicates what a great band they are! We had so many comments on the night, and since our wedding, praising us for finding such a wonderful band! Quite a few people said that it's not often you can find a live band that you want to listen to all evening, yet nobody wanted them to stop! Especially as their last set came to an end and the whole audience changed 'just one more' which they happily carried out for us!! Thank you so much for making our wedding a truly memorable occasion!! With very best wishes,”

Everyone danced the night away and we had many compliments about how great the band were. Our requested songs were brilliant and we really appreciated them adding them to their repertoire, the 'I believe in a thing called love' ceremony sing along certainly got everyone talking...and singing...badly (sorry we drowned out their lovely voices)! The music was so important to Pete and I and Vintage Roots totally nailed it - Thank you!

A big thank you also to You and Emma. It has been an absolute pleasure to liaise with you both and you have been so helpful.

60-90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute live lounge-style acoustic duo set (female vocals & guitar) as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 5-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Petersfield. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

“What a band! Second time we have hired them and would do so tomorrow again if we could find the excuse for them! Acoustically perfect - Vintage Roots are a bunch of just really nice people who showed us a great party! My only regret was how quickly the night went but we had three full fantastic sets over the day and the right mix of classics and modern Dolly Parton and Arctic Monkeys go together really well with this band! Just brilliant!”

“Vintage Roots are, in one word, FANTASTIC. They absolutely were on-time, friendly, chatty, easy going and helpful during setup. Their performance was great and the second set on particular, once our guests had put down their pizza and had a few drinks, really got everyone dancing and singing along. We had so many positive comments from guests and my wife and I were 100% pleased with everything they did all night. We really couldn't be happier. We do not have any similar events planned soon but will recommend them if anyone asks for sure. Thank you to all concerned.”

Our wedding party were incredibly happy and lively and I think drowned out the singers half the time due to their enthusiasm! The band got the party rocking like you wouldn't believe. Everyone was having such an amazing time. I have a video of the whole venue chanting "one more song" before the band played their final song! I even believe my father tried to get them to name their price for 5 more songs (unfortunately they declined as they were sweltering under the heat). I know it was hot for them and they did amazing to play so brilliantly under the conditions. Amazing amazing amazing. Please do pass on how much fun we had.”

The moment we took to the floor for our first dance and heard them sing the song that they had learnt for us, we knew we (and the rest of our wedding party) were in for a treat! Ultimately, the fact that the dance floor was full up for the whole evening indicates what a great band they are! We had so many comments on the night, and since our wedding, praising us for finding such a wonderful band! Quite a few people said that it's not often you can find a live band that you want to listen to all evening, yet nobody wanted them to stop! Especially as their last set came to an end and the whole audience changed 'just one more' which they happily carried out for us!! Thank you so much for making our wedding a truly memorable occasion!! With very best wishes,”

Everyone danced the night away and we had many compliments about how great the band were. Our requested songs were brilliant and we really appreciated them adding them to their repertoire, the 'I believe in a thing called love' ceremony sing along certainly got everyone talking...and singing...badly (sorry we drowned out their lovely voices)! The music was so important to Pete and I and Vintage Roots totally nailed it - Thank you!

A big thank you also to You and Emma. It has been an absolute pleasure to liaise with you both and you have been so helpful.

“Amy hi, We had a great night, and thought that the band were very good. A pity that we did not get a few more people on the dance floor, but that was there loss and did not affect our enjoyment. We would recommend the band to others looking for that type of music.”

“Hi Amy, The band were fantastic! Really professional and the quality was amazing. We had loads of great feedback from the guests too, in fact one of them is interested in booking them for an event this summer! They performed a great version of our first dance song (Everywhere, Fleetwood Mac) - it was very special. Thanks again to you and the band!”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute live lounge-style acoustic duo set (female vocals & guitar) as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 5-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Petersfield. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
