“It was epic!! It was such a good night last night and the whole department loved it - there were memories that will go with us to the grave!! Please pass on our thanks to the band, they were phenomenal and really made the evening. They were also really patient with us, especially as our timings went out the window a little bit - so it really was appreciated.”Al Stewart - Corporate Event, Fanhams Hall, Herts

This is a fairly common question and unfortunately the answer is often no. Our Retro bands are professional event bands and bookings tend to be high-end weddings, parties and corporate functions in London that we are unable to invite guests to. Our bands have excellent video footage on their profiles which provide an accurate insight to their live show and you'll also find live video clips on social media. We'd recommend reading through testimonials too to see what previous clients say about their experience.
