About

The Retrobeats are a highly experienced 4 piece live band playing pop and rock 'n' roll hits from the 1950s onwards. Their repertoire is made up of feel-good hits from across the years and they try to be a little bit different by including less obvious but still well known songs. With a motto of bringing on back the good times the Retrobeats aim to have our audiences singing along if they can't be tempted onto the dance floor.

Also available is a more specific tribute show to the rock n roll greats of the 1950s - Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran etc.

The band are based in the North West of England and perform across the region at pubs, social clubs, weddings, parties, charity events, festivals etc... in fact anywhere requiring great danceable music from a live band.

The band consists of drums, bass, tambourine and guitar with two main vocalists enabling them to handle a wide variety of songs with harmonies and backing vocals.

The Retrobeats are a self contained band with compact, high performance equipment (fully PAT tested of course) and have public liability insurance. Backing tracks are never used and all the music is performed by the band at a comfortable volume. They will always endeavour to be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure your event is a success.

By prior arrangement, using the PA system the band will also provide music mixes for you - from background music you can still chat over, music during breaks and even a lively disco playing songs from all eras and for all ages to finish your night off. You can relax in the knowledge that all your entertainment for the evening is taken care of.

Where are they based?

The Retrobeats are based in Warrington in the North West and perform across Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, North Wales and beyond.
