The Swinging 60s are a 3-piece live band, based in Kent, performing all over the UK. They specialise solely in fabulous hits of the 1960s. Band members, Andy, Dave and Leah, are an enthusiastic, lively group who are passionate about the music they perform. They have an excellent reputation for putting on a sixties show full of enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism. Their repertoire is vast and varied, guaranteed to suit all ages and have people dancing and singing along all night. They are available for all types of events, indoor/outdoor, from small parties to large corporate/wedding functions/festivals/clubs etc.
A great night and the Swinging 60s created a fantastic atmosphere. I would recommend the band to anyone organizing a Dinner Dance or a similar type of event.
"Thank you Andy, Leah & Dave
You were absolutely brilliant at our 25th Anniversary Party our guests spoke so highly of you all,. You certainly were the icing on our cake.
I hope one day that we actually get the opportunity to hire or see you all again.
Many thanks again.
Heather & Nigel xx"
Leah was not well but Andy and Dave did not let us down ,it was a great evening lots of lovely comments from our party guest . would have them again.
What a fantastic night these guys were amazing and made my mum's surprise party a very special evening .I would recommend the swinging 60s to anyone looking for entertainment for an amazing night.
Thank you so much for Saturday night. Everyone loved you. I have had a lot of people asking me for your details as they would like to book you in the future. You made the night stress free for me. My mum and dad said you were the best band that they had ever seen and they were so pleased with my choice. Next time I arrange a party I will definitely book you guys. Thanks so much xx
Thanks so much for yesterday, it was perfect. Andy you got the atmosphere just right for our celebration in honour of mums life. She would've loved it, and lots of the songs you sung were amongst her favourites. Thanks again, it was a very special day.
"Andy, Dave & Leah were 100% on the ball, arrived early and set up well before guests arrived. all three looked amazing in there outfits, very smart in the 60s theme.
Andy and Leah both taking turns on lead vocals, both were brilliant.
Music was just right and they got everyone up dancing and made sure the birthday girl got the attention she deserved.
Nothing was a problem for them time wise if one of the sets went over from the time slot we agreed it was fine, Asked guests for songs and then played them so very accommodating for everyone.
All three were very relaxed and just went with the flow which put everyone at ease, had an Elvis impersonator booked as well and the Swinging 60s accommodated him by letting him use some of there power points etc.
Hope I get asked again for this sort of band because I know straight away who I would book.
100% it would be THE SWINGING 60S.
Thanks Andy, Dave and Leah for a job well done.
Kind regards Alan"
"What a fabulous find The Swinging 60's were. Booked for my husbands 70th party.
Brilliant evening with expert guitarists and singing. Would recommend any time for a warm fun evening. Can't wait to see Andy Dave and Leah again. Andy's knowledge of 60's and his banter is an extra treat.
Thank you for making Colin's evening"
Great band, had everybody on the dance floor!!!
Really big thank you to you guys for a fantastic night. Everybody said how great you were, and kept asking for your number for the future.
"I have seen the swinging 60s a couple of times and i wanted them to play at my 40th wedding anniversary last Friday
They played all night singing songs from the era of music my wife and i like the best The 60s.
There musicianship is uncanny to get it spot and also vocally brilliant .And the best harmonies ive ever heard.
Leah sings all the girlie songs and certainly looks the part.
Dave and Andy wearing 60s tonic suits both sing the boy songs. Everybody was dancing all night
I will certainly be booking them again"
Was a good night but speaking to our customers they were a bit out of tune but this maybe due to the lead singer having laryngitis leading up to the event
Performing at Alexandra Palace London...The Winter Gardens Margate...Quex Park....and the good ol' Whitstable Regatta every year! In years gone by, the lads were in a band that won "Opportunity Knocks" twice.
Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries, Retirements, Corporate functions, beer festivals, vintage car shows, various clubs, hotels, village halls, social clubs - gatherings of all sizes from 50 people to several thousands!
Cash on the night, or cheque in advance.
Usually 2 - 3 hours but have played longer on several occasions.
PA - yes. Lighting - minimal (mostly led disco-style floor lights).
Yes!
We have a lot of equipment so in small spaces it hinders our performance as we are then confined and restricted on movement (although it does not affect the vocal performance). That said, we try to be as flexible as possible and certainly do not expect a large stage at every event. We also ask event organisers to give some thought to providing a changing room/green room area, as we have stage costumes to change into.
Our songs are not listed on this site so you would need to contact us to find out if we do the song you require. If it is already within our repertoire then we can certainly add it into the performance for you.
We take very few breaks, dependent upon the event. As a rough guide, for a 3 hour gig we would take a couple of breaks lasting 10-15 mins each.
The Swinging 60s have such a vast repertoire that they do not list every song of each set list they have. The songs they perform are top hits from artists such as The Hollies, The Small Faces, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Turtles, The Who, The Searchers, Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, The Troggs, to name just a few.
