60s Tribute Acts in East Sussex

Book a 60s tribute band in East Sussex

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Brighton, an anniversary party near Hastings or a themed night anywhere in East Sussex, a 60s tribute act turns a gathering into a show your guests will talk about. The same act has to work in a hotel ballroom one week and a village hall or back-garden marquee the next, and the best ones do.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to East Sussex as standard, and most bring their own PA and lighting and set up and clear away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in East Sussex include Pelham House, Buckhurst Park and Brighton College, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across East Sussex, from Brighton to Eastbourne, 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.

Every act's page carries video and audio of that exact show, so you can see the costumes, hear the voice and judge how close the tribute is to the real thing, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night if anything needs sorting quickly.

“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!”

“They played a wide variety of songs, which appealed to all age groups. We had many comments from the guests to say how good they were as they were pitch perfect during every song and the harmonies were fantastic. The band were definitely money well spent and I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Hi Karen,
Just to say your recommendation of the above singer entertainer was spot on ...she was amazing. The floor was filled and the singing was to the best standard plus top entertainment real value for money ...made my party complete and everyone raved about her.
Thank you for the recommendation.”

“This show is 1st class, one the best solo Motown singers I’ve had the pleasure of booking. He was easy to work
with and his whole presence made the entire day special. The dance floor was packed all day and he has some voice. Definitely looking to book again.”

“We have had several Tribute bands at our golf club and Just John & Paul were by far the best and provided a fabulous evening for our members of whom several went out of their way to say how good they were.”
