Great night that the Retrobates were a big part of...
5 stars - The Retrobates are Highly Recommended Mark R booked The Retrobates for their event in Hampshire • December 2019
“Very easy to work with and adapted to my event - in terms of when they played through the night and using my playlists in between. Music they played warmed up through the evening as the party developed - by the end all dancing (and singing along). All who I spoke to gave positive feedback on the music - quality and delivery. Thank you.”
Friendly, entertaining, energetic and brilliant.
5 stars - The Retrobates are Highly Recommended Tim W booked The Retrobates for their event in Hampshire • November 2019
“The Retrobates were fantastic. They were very friendly, skilled musicians and played all the music that I love. All the guests thought they were great, and the dance floor was never empty. They had an extensive repertoire and were happy to play requests. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wanted a dancing party and would definitely book them again if the occasion arose.”
The best decision we made!!!!!!!!
5 stars - The Retrobates are Highly Recommended Sarah J booked The Retrobates for their Wedding in Kent • August 2019
“We chose The Retrobates for our Wedding, based on previous reviews, clips we saw of them performing and their price, and they did not disappoint - these guys are absolutely amazing! They were really helpful before the day, arrived on time, set up quietly and performed fantastically. The guys themselves are really lovely - friendly, helpful, undemanding and genuinely nice people; and their skill and talent is second to none. All of our guests have commented how great they thought they were and how much they enjoyed seeing them perform. We can't recommend these guys enough.”
Great acoustic duo who helped fill the dance floor
5 stars - The Retrobates are Highly Recommended Andrew S booked The Retrobates for their Wedding in Norfolk • July 2019
“Superb night topped off by the Retrobates! The guys arrived promptly and performed two excellent one hour sets. Communication with John was good before our wedding and we spent time planning the playlist. First set was a sixties set with a modern Oasis style set for the second. All our guests loved the group and dance floor was packed. Highly recommended! Very polite guys”
5 stars - The Retrobates are Highly Recommended Lara M booked The Retrobates for their event in West Sussex • July 2019
“John and Harry were fab - they kept their energy going even when the crowd seemed not to notice them but believe me they did! Everyone said how fab they were. Thank you so so much. And Grant at Alive was always super helpful.”
