Our performances spaces vary depending on the lineup booked but we need a minimum of 5x3 metres and ideally two 13amp plug sockets and we'll provide the rest!

Load-in/access and parking.
If the venue is upstairs .
Any difficult directions!
We can provide 80s playlists between our sets and after our sets until midnight.
We've played at a few parties but the 'Club Tropicana' party in Dorset in 2023 was the best so far. An amazing venue, fully themed in 80s style with some of the best costumes we've ever seen. We played late into the night with an audience who knew every word and didn't stop dancing!
There are so many styles in the most eclectic era of music, we love playing Madonna as much as we do Bon Jovi, Duran Duran and The Eurythmics. We've found our set lists just includes banger after banger!
The band is made up of singers and musicians with years of experience in the industry, some of whom have played with the original artists that we cover. We LOVE the music of the 80s and every gig we do is different and always a joy.
The 80s themed events when everyone is dressed up is always fun because the atmosphere is great and usually everyone knows every word of every song!
We can load in, setup and soundcheck in under 2 hours. Our popular set times are 2 x 60 minute sets but some events call us to split them into 3 x 40 minutes. We can easily cater to the timings of your event and what you require.
Yes, but due to this...indifferent English weather we request where possible that we play under cover, just in case any of our gear and speakers are under threat of rain!
We have a very big repertoire but take new requests on each gig. If you can let us know ahead of time the 80s songs you want to hear, we'll make sure they're added to the setlist.
The comments we mostly get are energetic and very faithful to the original songs! We have many comments about how much people were dancing and how great the vocals were.
