Overview

It's easy to forget how many great tunes came out of the decade that gave us Madonna, Prince and err ... David Hasselhof, but once you hear them you'll be on the dance floor in no time. Now you can relive your youth (or your mum and dad's youth) by booking The Essential 80's - shamone!

This all singing, all dancing show accurately recreates the sound of the 80's and features songs by all the big 80's icons including;

Pet Shop Boys, T'Pau, Cyndi Lauper, Simple Minds, Buggles, Depeche Mode, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Roxette, Whitney Huston, Tears for Fears, Bangles, Kylie, Kraftwerk, Human League, Level 42, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Yazoo, Gloria Estefan, Dead or Alive, ABC, Living in a Box, Nik Kershaw, Belinda Carlisle & Visage.

The show is completely self contained with high quality PA and lighting effects. It's delivered by the same team behind the Pet Shop Boys tribute, one of the very best and busiest tributes in the UK so you know it will be slick and professional.

So look out the spandex, plump up your perm and put on some eyeliner (and that's just the guys) and Enquire now for an instant quote and date check or why not add The Essential 80's to your shortlist and get a number of quotes while only filling out the form once?

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure The Essential 80's, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with The Essential 80's and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with The Essential 80's around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for The Essential 80's. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from The Essential 80's and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm The Essential 80's's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
