60s Tribute Acts in Cumbria

Book a 60s tribute band in Cumbria

A 60s tribute act in Cumbria is one of the easiest ways to give a party a theme and a proper centrepiece. Hotels and function rooms around Carlisle and Kendal, social clubs near Windermere and marquees at home across Cumbria all make good settings for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and company celebrations.

Beatles songs, Motown and the Merseybeat sound still fill a dance floor, and they cross the generations better than almost any other decade: grandparents know every word, and so do their grandchildren. Our 60s tribute acts cover The Beatles, the Four Seasons, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Cher and the great Motown and soul acts of the decade, from solo performers singing to backing tracks through to full live bands, most performing in costume as part of the show. Acts on our books include The Essential Beatles, Just John and Paul, The Essential Jersey Boys, The Essential Diana Ross & Motown Show, Soul Sensations, Peachy Beat and The Authentic 60s.

Since 1999 Hireaband has matched acts to parties across the UK, and everyone listed here performs in Cumbria. Most arrive with their own PA and lights and look after set-up and clear-down, so you can enjoy the night. Check your date with the instant quote for pricing and a clear list of what's included.

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in Cumbria include Broadoaks Country House, Loweswater Village Hall and Holker Hall, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across Cumbria, from Carlisle to Kendal, and we can advise on what works best in the room you have booked.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included, from travel to PA and lighting
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The right line-up depends on the room and the budget more than the guest list. Solo tributes perform to professional backing tracks, need very little floor space and are the most affordable option. A duo or full live band brings real instruments, more volume and more of a concert feel, which suits a larger hall or a bigger crowd. Tell us about the venue and we'll point you towards what fits.

Prices usually run from £500 for a solo tribute up to around £2,000 for a full live tribute band. Where your date falls makes a difference — summer Saturdays and the Christmas party season book up first and cost the most. The instant quote shows the full price and what it includes, so there are no surprises on the night.

You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Each act's page has video and audio of the real show, their full song list, and reviews from people who have booked them before. Watch a few clips, check the costumes and the voice, and read what other hosts said about the night itself.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote to see prices and availability immediately. When you've picked your act, we take care of the contract, deposit and arrangements, and keep in touch right up to the party. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking and an emergency contact line on the night.

Reviews

“You were incredible - the attention to detail, the respect shown to the original songs, the overall sound and balance, with the powerful lead vocals, and the stunning harmonies were as true to the originals they were playing. I have seen the guys before, yet, I felt privileged to witness a fantastic display of talent and professionalism. Well done The Authentic 60's, excellent work.”

“Many thanks for arranging the Band to play at the Rose & Crown. This is the first band we have booked and thanks for making it so easy…The guys were fantastic and we will certainly be asking them back through the year. We do have a wide spread of ages in the village and all enjoyed the night. Thanks again, all the best, Phil”

“Chloe and the guys were absolutely superb and it took my dad and his friends back to the 1950’s and the rock n roll they grew up with. What made it really good for them was seeing it being performed by a young enthusiastic band, just as it was when the were young, its not every night you see 80 year olds jiving...”

“Hi Nicola, I just wanted to give you some feedback from our party on the 12th with Just John and Paul.The boys were amazing everyone loved them. They arrived early and were professional in their approach and appearance I cannot say how much they made the night go with the great success that it was. Once again many thanks.”

“Wayne & Morgan, what can I say. You Had the Cowglen Golf Club bouncing last night. A full house for a top drawer act, you two guys sure know your stuff. The hard work you both put in is amazing. Soul Sensations will be back next year, we can't wait till we're dancing on the ceiling again.”

“Really great to see a Beatles tribute band who look like they're enjoying themselves and can actually play! Seen a lot of bloated pie eating, balding, boring ones who seem to have enlarged egos out of 'thin hair'. A lot of disappointing ones out there, this lot leave them far far behind, top notch!”
