The Swinging Sixties are back! Check out these fantastic Sixties Tribute acts and bands!

Hard to believe it's been nearly half a century since we were in the midst of the Swinging Sixties. Mini skirts, flower power and The Beatles are just as popular as ever and we're constantly taking enquiries and bookings for our tribute acts and bands dedicated to one this groovy decade!
60s Tribute Band - The New Amen Corner     
 
 

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair if you are going to a New Amen Corner concert because you’ll soon be in a “Summer of Love” mood; for their music is full of that Feel Good Factor. 

The New Amen Corner have emerged in the last couple of years as the hottest band on the 60’s circuit because of their ability to recreate so perfectly the sound and atmosphere of that era. Their power house live show has made them one of the most exciting bands around, period clothing, authentic equipment and with the band encouraging their fans to don 60’s attire, their shows really breath life back, into what must be music’s most prolific decade.




The Mini car has just celebrated its 50th birthday and is still going strong; The Beatles’ albums have just been re-released and The Revolvers are bringing the great music of the 60’s back to life recreating the youthful look and the hits from your favourite 60's artist!

 Suited and booted, The Revolvers are an energetic tribute to the lost decade of the 60's. The Revolvers cover songs from artists such as Small Faces,The Kinks, The Beatles, The Who, Spencer Davis Group, The Rolling Stones and many more....


The Overtures - 60s Tribute Band


Lose yourself in a spectacular sixties show with The Overtures! Available for corporate functions, private parties, wedding receptions...The Overtures have performed for the likes of Paul McCartney and Elton John!

You'll hear every aspect of sixties music from the early 'Merseybeat' of The Beatles and The Searchers through to the 'surf' sound of The Beach Boys – the rhythm and blues of The Rolling Stones to the folk-rock of The Byrds and The Mamas and The Papas – the close harmony of Simon and Garfunkel to the psychedelic power of Jimi Hendrix.

This band are amazing! They're just the best band of their kind in the world."  Elton John - GQ Magazine





 Now, this wouldn't be a selection of our finest 60's tribute acts without a nod to a certain 4 piece.....



 The buzz they created in the early days soon caught the attention of Cavern City Tours, owners of the world famous Cavern Club and organisers of the annual International Beatles Week. The boys were given a Thursday night residency at The Cavern and have become the headline act at the Beatles Convention at Liverpool's Adelphi Hotel.


 
The Mersey Beatles are still honoured to be playing regular Thursday nights at The Cavern from 10pm and are well on their way to topping the 294 performances which The Beatles achieved at the club.


 So if that's inspired you to dust off your mini-skirt and button up your Sergeant Pepper-eseque tunic then give us a call and let's get booking your perfect 60's inspired shindig!

Treat your guests to something a little bit different at your next party!.....

January. It's scientifically the most depressing month. You've over-indulged over the holidays and waking up to a house devoid of any tinsel or twinkly lights is getting you down.

We reckon this is the perfect time to get sorting something to seriously look forward to. Maybe someone's got a big birthday coming up? Or perhaps there's an engagement on the cards? Better still, you just fancy throwing yourself a big bash to shake yourself out of your seasonal slumber!

Whatever the reason, we're here to help get something spectacular to wow your guests with and here are a few quirky suggestions that will really make yours an event to remember!

The Dumb Waiters!

First up are our Dumb Waiters. These guys will make sure your guests won't forget this meal in a hurry!

For over 15 years our Wacky Waiters have been creating dining havoc. Our dubious duo have a lot of leg pulling fun.

In various guises our Comedy Waiters, unbeknown to your guests, inter mingle with the real waiting staff and there the fun begins...



The Bavarian Strollers!

The Bavarian Strollers have travelled the world bringing their unique take on Um Pah music to anybody that will listen!

They specialise in Bier Keller evenings and Um Pop nights although they can cater a performance to just about any need; they've done everything from strolling round offices while people work to dancing on top of a mountain in silly wigs!




Tropicalia Show Band is an Award Winning young vibrant London based established company wholly run by distinguished professional performers. They are the only ensemble in the UK providing the best and most unique Latin Brazilian Show including live music, singing and dance!
 
Discover how you could indulge yourself and your guests with a dazzling and classy entertainment! They can satisfy any request and cater for any budget, no matter how small or large.




Spencer May is one of the finest caricaturists in the UK and is particularly sought after with event organisers and agents in the North West.

He is an ideal choice for weddings, birthdays, christenings, bar mitzvahs, corporate events in fact any occasion when you want something a little different that will not only amaze your guests but give them a souvenir they will keep forever.




 
Brahms & Liszt are two classical musicians who appear to have walked into the wrong concert....
The style? A real kitchen sink of musical drama. Baroque and roll gone beserk!! It’s a gentle kind of audience participation that will sway even the most coy of spectators. Don’t drop your guard! The fun doesn’t finish until the very last moment. Wait and see!
The unique blend of humour and music that is Brahms and Liszt is equally as hypnotic on a audience of 50 as it is to 2000. The cabaret was designed to bring a little light relief to formal banquets and balls and is performed during the meal while the guests are seated! 

Now, if that hasn't inspired you to get booking something spectacular for your next big do, then pop over to the website for hundreds of other options of some fantastic acts.
 
We bet you'll find exactly what you're after!

Our tribute acts count down some of the greatest love songs of all time!

Christmas is gone! New Years is over! Gloomy January is almost through! Time to kick back, relax and wait for things to warm up in Spring......or not. Valentines Day is edging ever closer and with plush pink hearts adorning stores and restaurants all over, it's becoming increasingly hard to ignore!










If you used up all your really good gift ideas at crimbo, a good ole love song never goes out of style.
So, with a little help from our brilliant tribute acts, here's our mixtape with some of the greatest and ever-popular swoon-inducing tunes from some of the world's biggest stars....

Jean Genie: Tribute to David Bowie
Heroes - David Bowie 
 
You've probably heard this one more times this week than ever before as the world said goodbye to the unique talent that is David Bowie.

As Rolling Stone put it, “Bowie wails with crazed soul about two doomed lovers finding a moment of redemption together — just for one day.” We reckon even for those relationships that aren't doomed, 'Heroes' is an anthem for determined couples everywhere!



I am Beyonce: Tribute to Beyonce
Halo - Beyonce
 
'Everywhere I'm looking now, I'm surrounded by your embrace. Baby, I can see your halo, you know you're my saving grace'
Little or no explanation needed with this one - this power ballad shows off Beyonce's raw vocal ability as she sings about her angel.



Three Times a Lady - Malcolm Pitt
Malcolm Pitt: Tribute to Lionel Richie

Many a first kiss in the late '70s can be attributed to this classic tune by Lionel Richie. 
In 2009, Richie said that he was inspired to write the song because of a comment his father made to his mother "I love you. I want you. I need you. Forever" hence the three times a lady.

Now if that's not enough to convince you of the pure romance of this one, we don't know what is.



A Million Love Songs - Take That
Rule The World: Take That Tribute


If you're not the greatest wordsmith and find uttering those 3 little words rather daunting then this one's for you. A Million Love Songs penned by Gary Barlow is an ode to struggling to find the right way to tell that person how you feel. 

'A man who's trying to say three words, the words that make me scared. A million love songs later, and here I am trying to tell you that I care.'

Whack this song on when Valentines Day is here and they'll know!

When I'm 64 - The Beatles
 
The Fab Beatles: Beatles Tribute Band

Perhaps not the first to come to mind when it comes to The Beatles and a love song but this jaunty little ditty about a young man's hope of growing old together with his lover is a cracking little love song.

'Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?'



So with just under a month to go until Valentines Day, we hope this has given you a few ideas on how to serenade your other half this February the 14th!

Happy New Year means Happy New Acts!


          Before we crack on with business as usual and introduce this week's blog, we wanted to say.......

A new year is a new opportunity to make a fresh start or a change and we thought the best way to do this was to treat our clients to some great new acts! We're always on the lookout for new acts and here are a couple that we think are pretty darn good!



Stevie One is Nat Augustin’s latest creation is this fantastic authentic show presenting a powerful, uplifting tribute to the iconic Stevie Wonder.


The show comprises the gentle reflective sing-along moments to the more uptempo funk classics from the 60s to 90s....

 Queen II provide a breath taking show at any venue or event!

The band faithfully recreates the energy, excitement, and emotion of a classic Queen concert! An authentic tribute, the four-piece band delivers powerful vocals, driving rock anthems and flamboyant showmanship.

Performing hits from every decade of Queen's musical legacy - Queen II truly are the Champions Of Tributes!




The Little Mix Experience are a fab new tribute to one of the most popular girl groups out there!


Complete with high energy dance routines and lots of audience participation, the Little Mix Experience tribute show ensures an accurate portrayal and has the true impersonations of the sounds, look and feel of the sensational Little Mix...


 
The Los Palmas 6 are an established 7-piece Madness tribute band; featuring Steve Turner who played sax with THE Madness for eight years! Established in 1998, these guys offer the most accurate Madness Tribute.
Madness were prominent in the late 1970s and early 1980s and are still as relevant as they ever were, influencing many younger bands and still touring and recording themselves. Known for their catchy tunes and playful videos, Madness are also all great musicians, and this has been reflected in the line up of the Los Palmas 6 (aka LP6).





The Dolly Party Story   is without doubt, the UK's leading and most accurate portrayal of Dolly Parton. Available a solo tribute act or with a full live band...
 
 
 
A tribute to Dolly Parton - This Country and Western tribute act is paying homage to Dolly Parton and to all of the fantastic music she has written and performed over the years.


This fantastic show features an all live, 4 piece backing band playing accurate versions of Dolly's most celebrated material.
The Dolly Parton Story is fronted by Andrea Pattison, a professional singer with years of experience. Andrea is a life long fan of Dolly Parton and is without doubt the UK's finest Dolly Parton impersonator.


 So, there you have it! 5 fantastic new acts to kick 2016 off with and there's plenty more to come!
