80th Birthday

We booked this band for my dad's 80th birthday party and everyone loved them. They arrived on time to do all of their sound checks. They performed their hearts out all night and were full of good humour and each member was friendly and approachable. They played a good range of music for all the generations at the party and they even came and asked us what tracks we would like in the break so that it would feel like our party. I would have them back again and would definitely recommend! Thanks guys - you gave us all a brilliant night! (July 2022)

Birthday Party

We all had a wonderful night. The band were excellent playing exactly what we wanted, bringing back memories of the 60's. Within a few minutes of them starting to play the dance floor was full and stayed that way all night. The band members were friendly and could not do enough to make the experience perfect. At the end everyone was saying how good they were, so many compliments. We would definitely rebook if there is another occasion to allow us to do that.

Party

The Backbeats are a sensational 60's covers band, recreating a unique Sixties vibe that is not outdated but sounds fresh and contemporary and suitable for all ages. At our party the guests,both young and older, danced all evening to every song,in fact,the night wasn't long enough.

Community Event

This great group played for us at our Community 50/60's Dance and they soon had everyone up dancing, some even started when the group were doing their "warm up"! It was a fantastic night and we got lots of good feedback. We would certainly recommend the Backbeats and hope we can have them back again sometime in the future.

Wedding Anniversary

The Backbeats played at our Silver Wedding anniversary party at Grindleton Pavilion last Saturday. As soon as the band started playing, people were immediately up on the dance floor. Despite the difference in age range of our guests, the music played by the band seemed to appeal to everyone. Having the Backbeats perform as a live band created a lively atmosphere. All our guests thought they were wonderful. A band definitely to be recommended.
