60s Tribute Acts in Berkshire

Book a 60s tribute band in Berkshire

From function rooms at hotels around Reading and Windsor to golf and social clubs near Newbury, and marquees going up in back gardens across Berkshire, a 60s tribute act in Berkshire can turn a party into a proper show. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, themed nights and company celebrations all suit a 60s tribute act — and the act has to work just as well in a village hall as it does in a hotel ballroom.

Beatles songs, Motown and the Merseybeat sound still fill a dance floor, and they cross the generations better than almost any other decade: grandparents know every word, and so do their grandchildren. Our 60s tribute acts cover The Beatles, the Four Seasons, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Cher and the great Motown and soul acts of the decade, from solo performers singing to backing tracks through to full live bands, most performing in costume as part of the show. Acts on our books include The Essential Beatles, Just John and Paul, The Essential Jersey Boys, The Essential Diana Ross & Motown Show, Soul Sensations, Peachy Beat and The Authentic 60s.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Berkshire as standard, and most bring their own PA and lighting and set up and clear away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in Berkshire include Ufton Court, Cantley House Hotel and The Elephant Hotel, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across Berkshire, from Reading to Windsor, and we can advise on what works best in the room you have booked.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included, from travel to PA and lighting
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space you have. In a function room, a pub or a marquee in the garden, a solo tribute singing to backing tracks gives you the full show for the lowest cost. For a ballroom, a big hall or a crowd that wants live musicians on stage, a duo or full tribute band is the better fit. We can usually tell you what has worked in similar venues before.

Most bookings fall between £500 and £2,000. Solo tributes performing to backing tracks sit towards the lower end and full live tribute bands towards the upper end, with the day and the time of year making up the rest of the difference — a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer or December. Your quote sets out exactly what's included, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every act's page carries video and audio of that exact show, so you can see the costumes, hear the voice and judge how close the tribute is to the real thing, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Everything from Beatles and Four Seasons tributes to Motown and soul shows and all-round 60s party bands playing the decade's biggest hits.

Yes — the songs of the 60s are known across generations, which is why a 60s act is a popular pick for milestone birthdays and anniversaries.

Yes — a marquee or a large room at home is a common setting, and a solo tribute in particular needs very little space. The same act can just as easily play a hotel function room or a social club the next weekend.

Usually, yes. Solo and duo tributes need only a small performance area and a standard power supply; for a full band, tell us the room and we'll check the line-up fits comfortably.

Typically £500 to £2,000, depending mainly on whether it's a solo tribute or a full live band, and on the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.

“I would just like to write and say a huge thank you to The Essential Jersey Boys for their performance on Friday night at our black tie Wintertime Ball. They were very professional, sounded amazing and it was a pleasure to have them around. They were easy to talk to, asked for nothing but gave a lot. The band were just like having Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons here, great sound, everyone dancing and all our guests had nothing but positive comments. Great band, great bunch of lads. Thank you.”

“Wow just wow.
We have just had Soul Sensations at our Music on the Prom event althrough the weather wasn't the best (wind and rain) these guys put on a cracking show. We have seen Motown acts before but nothing like this. The high energy, the dance moves, the vocals, the harmonising - oh my the harmonising. What a show, what a performance, what a day. We would highly recommend Soul Sensations and hopefully we will see them again at Music on the Prom. Just get them booked!”

“Extremely happy with the band, they made the night! Everybody has been commenting on how good they were. The quality and choice of the music was perfect they had everyone from the kids too our grandparents dancing. Would definitely recommend The Essential 60's to everyone. Could you please pass on our apologies to the band, as it was such a busy night we did not have chance to thank to the band properly and we would have liked too!”

(5)

“Closing the evening out was the superbly presented three-girl vocal and dance act
The Angelettes.
This Motown-tribute show, performed by a trio of stunningly clad brunettes, could
conceivably become a market-leading attraction on this showing. Large theatrestyle
cruise venues must be the natural target for this act.
Image and dance skills dovetail perfectly here with considerable vocal ability.
This is an act which, if pitched correctly, could be one of the cabaret finds of 2012.”

“The boys were Absolutely Bloody Marvellous. All of the guests (60+) thought they were amazing and as a result we are "the talk of the town". It will be hard to beat the performance that they gave, along with the crowd participation, Elton John or Robbie Williams couldn't have done better. All in all, well worth the money and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone of any age group.”

(5)

“What a great show on Saturday, I have had some fantastic feedback from club members saying that you are the best thing they have heard and seen in a long time!” We’ll definitely be booking the band again. “The band were a great success and really added a touch of professionalism to the whole event. The audience new all the songs and what a great set for a great day”
