Retrosettes

Biography

The Retrosettes are a vintage band that makes new songs sound old, and old songs sound retro-modern. Chic and cool, they take popular songs currently in the charts and classic songs we all know and love and give them the Retrosettes treatment.

Their influences are very varied and they feature songs from the musical genres of Motown and Northern Soul, funk, jazz, New Orleans R&B and reggae. The vintage sound is created with instruments from the ’60s and ’70s and played with a love of classic music from that period.

The Retrosettes are a themed band that will set the mood of any event. They have had years of experience in performing at corporate events, festivals, weddings, music venues and in various other situations.

The band arrives in style with tweed suits, flat caps, vintage equipment, mood-setting lighting and a full PA. The recorded music they play in between sets continues the cool vintage vibe so the whole night will see guests being transported to bygone eras when music shaped and influenced the youth of their time.

The Retrosettes are such a versatile band that they can move seamlessly between genres such as pop, soul, Northern Soul, jazz, blues, funk, ska and reggae. They are often given requests for first dance songs at weddings and opening songs at corporate events. These have pushed the band towards dance, drum and bass, folk, country and other genres. They always manage to retain their authentic vintage sound though, no matter what.
