The Firebirds is highly recommended

"The band were simply brilliant, and booking through Alive Network made everything very straightforward. The band were cool, professional and they created an excellent atmosphere- by the end of the night everyone from our 18 month-old son to our 86 year-old grandparents were dancing! We could not have asked for more- thank you so much for playing such a big part in making our day so special.

The Firebirds's Biography

Line up: Quartet: Vocals/Guitar, Piano/Organ, Bass, Drums.

Highlights
*Cool, slick 'vintage' quartet with a difference!
*An extensive repertoire covering Pop, Rock, Soul and Funk songs in an authentic vintage style.  
*Repertoire includes songs from Pixie Lott, Adele, Jessie J, The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and many more big names!
*Available UK wide!



The Firebirds are a vintage band that make new songs sound old and old songs sound retro.  Chic and cool, they take popular songs currently in the charts and classic songs we all know and give them the Firebirds treatment.  Their influences are very varied including Motown and Northern Soul, Funk, Jazz, New Orleans Rhythm and Blues and Reggae.  The vintage sound is created with instruments from the 60s and 70s and played with a love of classic music from that period.
 
The Firebirds are a themed band that will change the mood of any event.  They have had years of experiences in performing at corporate events, festivals, weddings, music venues and various other situations.

The band will arrive at your event in style with tweed suits, flat caps, vintage equipment, mood setting lighting and a full PA.  The recorded music they play in between sets continues the cool vintage vibe so the whole night will see guests being transported to distant time periods when music shaped and influenced the youth of their time, and has continued to do this for generations.

"Event: Medics end of year ball
Venue: Barcello Shringly Hall Hotel Golf and Country Club

The band was amazing! Booked at short notice and much better than the band we were going to get!

The dancefloor was full all night, everyone loved them. We told the band after they should definitely charge more money, we would have paid it. Fantastic performance!"
