About / Biography

Ruby & The Romantics....... "Sixties Hit Recording Artists"

60’s/70's Soul & Motown Show, With Both Male & Female Lead Vocals & Superb Harmonies! Featuring Classic Soul & Motown & The Girls Of The 60’s. With Excellent PA and Lighting. We Bring The Show To You!

Join Ruby & The Romantics for a show packed with great hits from the 1960's and 1970's. Featuring 'Classic Soul & Motown' from The Supremes, Martha Reeves, Mary Wells, The Four Tops, The Detroit Spinners, The Temptations, The Tams, The O'Jays, Barry White, The Drifters, The Stylistics and many more. Also we remember the 'Girls Of The 60's' with songs from The Ronettes, The Chiffons, Dusty Springfield, The Marvelettes & The Crystals.

Songs from these well-known artists, and many more are faithfully recreated, with live keyboards, bass guitar, professional tracks and superb 3-part harmony vocals.

Ruby & The Romantics Do Not Use Recorded Vocal Tracks!

The Show is supported by a top-quality Electrovoice PA system and a superb fully-automated lightshow for an excellent “Theatre-Style” presentation that is equally appealing to those who want to dance the night away and to those who just want to sit back and enjoy the show.

Top Drawer Presentation Comes As Standard!

We offer great value as we can produce the sound of at least a six-piece band and take up less space if your venue is a little smaller! Don't think of us as “just a trio” We pride ourselves on having a "Big Sound" and would put much bigger acts to shame with our high standards of presentation, sound and lighting!!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Ruby & The Romantics pride themselves on their presentation and carry everything we need for our show including a top quality EV PA system and extensive theatre-style light show. All we need is a suitable performance area (our backdrop is 6 metres so ideally we would like 6m x 3m for performance space and access to 2 x 13A sockets) We also require secure changing facilities and parking for one mid-sized van


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes absolutely....we have a concert spec 5kw EV PA system and a state-of-the-art fully-automated extensive lighting rig . ...we also have a radio microphone for the client to use for speeches and annoucements


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know in advance about any difficult load in issues....mainly stairs and distance from the parking area to the load in doors


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes we have an MP3 player in our system and normally play era appropriate music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Performing as support for Martha Reeves and The Vandellas ...A Motown legend but treated us as equals (Which we clearly were not!!)


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We all like the Harmony Groups Of The 60's...The Four Seasons, The Hollies, The Seekers, & Motown of course but also the Girl Groups like The Ronettes & The Chiffons. Ruby is also a fan of the 50's girls like Alma Cogan & Connie Francis. Richie on the bass is an old "Rock n Roller" but can play just about anything. There were so many great songs in the 60's that its difficult to choose one. Perhaps Be My Baby by The Ronettes would be a contender?


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

All three of us are multi-instrumentalist but we all started with guitars in our early teens and its developed from there. We have performed in hundreds of shows in many bands over the years and have done everything from small, intimate venues to supporting Star Names.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We are happy anywhere but we love doing parties for a more "mature" audience as we love bringing back memories for them

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set Up time is around 2 hours from arrival at the venue, and start time normally 3 hours from arrival time, but may be longer if stairs or a long equipment carry is required. Our show can be varied to suit the venue and clients needs. Usual formats are 2 x 45mins, 2 x 1 hour or 3 x 40 mins spots.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes but only undercover....the British weather is too unpredictable!!! We do however carry a couple of long extension leads on the van if we need them


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

No..we are happy to play anything from the list in any order...we can learn a special song if we can get a track for it but we would normally pass on the cost of the track and extra rehearsal time to the client.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

People say that we have the "WOW" factor and they are happy to watch us as well as dance.......a very big sound and an amazing lightshow are the common ones.....we also get many comments on our professional presentation and attitude both on and off stage.....oh and that we sing in tune!! .....don't take our word for it....have a read of our reviews page!!!
