    About this Act

    The Retrosettes Roaming band are a hugely experienced and celebrated band who have travelled all over the world with their music. They have played at events in Mumbai, Moscow and all over Europe. Lead singers Paul and Helen have entertained audiences on the worlds only residential mega yacht in the middle of the South Pacific! They have also appeared in a film with Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel, were backed by a 100 piece orchestra at a sell out show in a Parisian theatre with a French film composer and they have released a successful album through Universal in Germany (after touring all over Europe with Simply Red to promote it!). The musicians in this band have done it all! Paul and Helen are a married couple and the whole band are great friends. This chemistry allows them to deliver a lively and natural performance that audiences love, the world over.


    The Retrosettes roaming band focus on nostalgic music from the 90s (an era that they absolutely love!). So expected ‘bangers’ from the likes of Oasis, Pulp, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, The Spice Girls, The Cranberries, Natalie Imbruglia, Ricky Martin….the list goes on! (And so does the beat….!!)

    The band consists of all acoustic instruments (accordion, double bass, percussion and acoustic guitar) as well as three singers, which gives them the ability to roam around an event without being tied to speakers or cables. This fun, festival band will add flair to any event and make guests sings songs they ‘Oughta Know’, have a night they’ll ‘Never Forget’ and they’ll want to ‘Dance The Night Away’!!

    If you’re looking for a great roaming daytime act with nostalgic music from the 90s, then look no further than The Retrosettes Roaming band.
