They are very well established and extremely popular, particularly at universities throughout the UK where they have built an excellent reputation and have played for audiences up to 5,000 people.

The band were excellent and really met our expectations.
Helen booked Back To The 80s for their event
“Following our event on Friday I just wanted to send you our thanks. The band were excellent and really met our expectations. It was a muggy evening and many of the guests sat outside which was unfortunate for the band but they plugged away and got people dancing. We will definitely try to use you guys again in the future. Please pass on my thanks to the band and AV guy who was really amenable and thanks for all your planning and organisation. Hope to speak to you again soon!”

Mark A booked Back To The 80s for their Wedding in Surrey
“Hello Nick and Kevin, Just got back from our honeymoon and I wanted to take the opportunity to thank both of you for all of your help in making our wedding a massive success! The band were absolutely brilliant and we have had so much feedback from our guests raving about them! From the moment they started until the set finished, the dancefloor was always full and people were blown away by the song selection and their professionalism. The first dance was a success and I hope that they didn't mind too much playing an S Club 7 song! Please pass on our thanks to the band (I did so on the night but I'd lost my voice by then!) and if you have a reviews section on your website, then please post this e-mail on it. Once again, thank you very much and I'll be sure to book them again at my 50th in 2015! Cheers Mark and Lisa Ayling ”
