Kirsty B booked The Retrobates for their Wedding in Surrey • April 2022
“We initially booked the guys for our 2020 wedding which we had to move due to COVID. Communication with John was fantastic and they were able to accommodate 3 dates changes! We finally had our day on 16th April 22 and we can honestly say, the were INCREDIBLE! The dance floor was packed and everyone had the best time!”
One more song… one more song!!!

Lindsay booked The Retrobates for their Wedding in London • October 2021
“These guys get the crowds cheering! one more song … one more song! Really talented guys, all age groups at our wedding had something to dance and sing along to which is exactly what we wanted- we were sad when the last set finished we could have danced and sang along all night! The guys even tweaked on of their set songs to a slower more “romantic “ version for our first dance!”
Great music enjoyed every song

Shirley M booked The Retrobates for their event in Northamptonshire • September 2021
“These guys are great! Sadly one of them had tested positive for Covid on the day but they had a stand in and we were not let down, great music everyone was commenting on how good they were. Music kept us dancing but they seemed like really nice guys which makes all the difference just wish I had another party coming soon so I could book them again!”
Fantastic Duo for our Special Day

Emily C booked The Retrobates for their Wedding in Surrey • September 2021
“The Retrobates were exactly what we wanted in evening entertainment for our Wedding! John was great in the lead up, giving me a call and talking through the finer details. Being flexible and ‘going with the flow’ throughout. Even though the other member of the band had to pull out last minute due to COVID, the performance was still flawless. We had people on the dance floor from the first dance until we finished, which was exactly what we wanted. Thank you both for being such a great entertainers and showing us such a good time. Definitely recommend!”
