Absolutely brilliant

The New Retros played at our wedding last month and they were fantastic from start to finish. Really easy to book, great communication, friendly and professional. We didn't ask them to play from a set list, we just chatted about the kind of music we liked and they read the room really well.

On the day, they came on time and were really friendly and polite. They played so well, everyone had such a good time. Loads of people came up to us to say how good the band were.

Definitely recommend to anyone looking to book a wedding band! They are very talented with great energy and made us feel really at ease.

Fantastic Start to Finish

We had a really fantastic experience with The New Retros. From day one they were communicative and accommodating of our plans, from sending an excellent set list to choose our favourite songs to arriving earlier on the day which allowed us to use their microphones and speaker system for our speeches. All our guests were full of praise for the band, and they helped make it such a fantastic day!

The dancefloor at my daughter's wedding was unforgettable!

Mother of the bride here , I just wanted to write a review because I was so blown away! I was adamant that a DJ would have been a better choice than a band but my daughter really proved me wrong. It was so lovely having live musicians there, they added so much to the atmosphere and really encouraged everyone to get up and dance. Will book The New Retros for my next wedding I think 😉🤔👍👍

Professional, friendly and excellent entertainment

We hired this band for a corporate event and they were friendly and helpful throughout the process. They read the room and can play whatever music suits their audience and to suit your preferences. They are great musicians, and their music is of an excellent quality. Everyone at our event had a great time dancing and listening to them.
