Great band, very professional, polite, well turned out . The song choice was great and it was a magical evening. I would hire them again without a seconds hesitation.

WOW! Absolutely amazing band! We had The Essential 60's for our wedding, they were amazing musicians, professional, kind, and couldn't do enough for us. They played to the crowd and had everyone dancing from start to finish. Everyone commented on how good they were and it speaks volumes that everyone at the end was shouting for 'ONE MORE SONG!' I wouldn't hesitate to book them again for a party or event. Thank you lads!

We wanted to say a huge thanks to The Essential 60's. You guys were fantastic and helped ensure that our guests danced all night at our Wedding which is exactly what we wanted. From the vocals, music, choice of songs, equipment and style everything worked like a dream. One of the highlights was everyone singing along to your last track on the night. A huge thank you!

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!

They were professional, on time, friendly and above all, brilliant musicians! They had everyone dancing from the very beginning and they didn't stop. I had so many people ask me where I heard about them and how fabulous they were.

They played a wide variety of songs, which appealed to all age groups. We had many comments from the guests to say how good they were as they were pitch perfect during every song and the harmonies were fantastic. The band were definitely money well spent and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure The Essential 60s, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with The Essential 60s and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with The Essential 60s around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for The Essential 60s. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from The Essential 60s and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm The Essential 60s's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
