    The band of a lifetime

    From the initial call to the day every single thing was amazing from the obscure request to the most generic I could ask them and they would do everything they could to make sure that was happening and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

    I would recommend them to anybody who is looking for a band for their special day a birthday or even just an event these should be our first choice

    Wonderful band that made our night!

    Niran was great at meeting with us and letting us know how everything would run, sharing song ideas etc. And making our first dance work.

    We've had loads of compliments on the band- definitely would recommend!

    Highly recommend!

    Niran and the band were amazing from start to finish. Always responsive in the months leading up to the wedding and on hand to offer any advice. The set list that they put together was awesome with a great mix of nostalgic and modern tunes. A highlight was the saxophone playing us into the marquee before the wedding breakfast. We had several guests say they were one of the best wedding bands they had ever seen! Would highly recommend.

    Fantastic band

    You will not be disappointed if you book the New Retro's. I can honestly say they were fantastic. They kept people on the dance floor all night. They played music for all ages, and nothing was too much trouble.

    Our expectations were high, but this band knocked them out of the park!

    We booked the 5 piece band with sax for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our first dance was perfect, exactly as we wanted it, then the rest of the sets were brilliant. The dance floor was packed for the entire duration of both sets, my guests won't stop talking about it. I simply can't recommend them enough!

    Pure Vibes

    New Retros brought the vibes at our wedding day in May! The dance floor was packed out!

    They were also super friendly to deal with, and helpful when we needed them to chat to the venue directly. You can't go wrong with these guys, highly recommend.

    The New Retros were incredible as our wedding band!

    The New Retros were amazing, they kept the energy high and the dance floor filled. The communication before the wedding was great, they listened to our artist and song preferences to create a super set list, they adapted to our first dance song perfectly to match our choreographed dance and on the night were very friendly and approachable. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a fabulous time!

    Would highly recommend this band!

    The Century (also known as the new retros) were amazing! I would highly recommend this amazing band and would definitely book them again for other events!

    We had a five piece at our wedding on the 3rd May and it was fabulous!

    The bands song list was great and had the dance floor full! We opted for the band to play two sets of 60 minutes which was great and ideal for our evening celebration.

    We had the best time and were really grateful to the band for ensuring our first dance song was played and then performing the father and daughter dance song live.

    Thank you so much to The Century!

    The best wedding band - incredibly accommodating and kept the dance floor full!

    We found Century / the New Retros through Function Central, and loved their style / tone through the preview tracks and the song list variety. Niran was very accommodating of our timings, with set up during the wedding breakfast so that it would disturb our second set of speeches. We had a pre call with Niran to talk through our music tastes and our first dance song which was great and really helpful.

    On the day the main singer was sick but the alternate was fantastic and you wouldn’t have know anything different which was incredibly reassuring.
    The band performed our first dance – Hold my George – George Ezra and it was beautiful! They also had all of the hits which kept the dance floor full and the party going. Special shout outs for Unwritten, Mr Brightside and Love Story which was just the best.

    We’re so grateful to have had Century/the New Retros at our wedding and fully recommend them!

    Hi Kit and Paddy, your wedding was EPIC. We loved playing for you guys, and that marquee was such a vibe. We wish you the absolute best for the future.

    ALSO we're now playing at Mark Foggin's wedding off the back of yours so thanks for that!
