About / Biography

Vintage Voltage are a 60s and 70s rock collective from Brighton and London. Four to eight of them depending on the room, three for the acoustic set, playing Zeppelin, Purple, Sabbath, Bowie, Hendrix, Free, Humble Pie, Thin Lizzy, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, and the deep cuts either side of them.

Technically a tribute band. Actually a rock and roll rave inside a time machine.

No wigs, no costumes, no winking at the audience, no medley. A young band playing this music the way they fell for it, loud and slightly out of control, with mashups of their own and songs that run into one another with no gap for applause. It works as well for the people who saw these bands the first time round as for their kids.

That 70s Night is their own event: a wall of working vintage televisions, an oil projector, lamps, rugs, a DJ after the band, and a room full of people who dressed for it. It has sold out Paper Dress Vintage in London three times and De Piek in Vlissingen, and taken 164 tickets at Daltons in Brighton.

They also just play. A festival stage, a wedding, a birthday, a corporate night, a pub on a Saturday. Thruxton Race Circuit for the Super Funk retro festival, Slim Jim's Liquor Store three times, The Troubadour, Hope and Ruin, The Waterhole in Amsterdam, the main square stage at Monument Festival in Zierikzee, and a biker rally at Plumpton Racecourse.

Line ups

  • Three piece acoustic: guitar, mandolin, percussion and voices
  • Four piece: guitar, bass, drums and a lead singer, with backing vocals
  • Five piece: adds keys, who sometimes doubles on guitar
  • Six piece: adds a second lead singer
  • Seven and eight piece: add one or two dedicated backing vocalists

Weddings often take the acoustic trio for the ceremony and drinks, then the full band after dinner.

What they bring
PA and monitoring for 150 to 200 guests, all their own backline, and an oil projector and lamp set. On request: the full vintage television wall, a hazer, and a DJ set after the band. £1m public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment. With enough notice they build themed nights (Zeppelin against Deep Purple, a psychedelic sixties night, a glam night) and learn two of your requests with a month's notice.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need a space big enough to accommodate the 4-5 of us including gear. We also need adequate power and sockets. We can supply a full backline if needed but prefer using house equipment if available.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We have a PA system and laser/oil projector lamps.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know what the best spot to park, if there is a sound limiter, if there will be a an in-house engineer, and whether there is a backline available.


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

Yes we can play appropriate music in-between sets and whilst packing down. (Might incur extra cost if we are required to stay way beyond the last set finishes).

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Last summer we played at a Vintage themed festival with loads of race cars, helicopters, and planes. Huge stage, it was amazing! We played a special race themed set (highway to hell, radar love, born to be wild etc.) Next to this we played an awesome birthday in a huge church last year, when we started out none of us thought we'd be playing Sabbath and AC/DC in church someday ... definitely a highlight! Lastly our Cosmic Xmas in London, as well as our Halloween gig in Brighton were amazing, big vibes and a lot of dancing!


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

We're a covers band and our favourite bands to cover include; Free, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and many more ....


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

We're all full/part-time musicians based in Brighton. Most of us met at BIMM where we studied/or are still studying. We started this project because we love Rock music from the 70s, and normally only see older people cover this kind of thing . It seemed like a really cool niche to fill! And as it turns out it's helped get more young people into Zeppelin, Bowie, Sabbath, and more! Also older audiences find it cool to see people playing music from way before they were born. Our parents are all old rockers, so we should thank them for giving us good taste!


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

Parties, Club Nights, Birthdays, Funerals, Pubs, we do it all. If the audience dig it, so do we!!! Of course we can tailor our set to the occasion!


I've got some questions about your setlist and the possibility to add requests.

Hey!

Please get in touch. We're always happy to prepare one or two requests if we get enough notice. As long as they're in line with our genre (60s/70s Rock). Of course we're happy to play happy birthday etc. But please get in touch so we can discuss everything in detail!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up and perform 3 x 40 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best. Of course we always have a couple of encores on hand.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, if the weather allows and/or there is adequate shelter/a tent. The location must be easily accessible tho and not too uneven or wet/damp.


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

We normally make our own set list. We can learn specific songs before the event given enough time, but we usually limit this to 3 songs and charge and depending on what/when/how might charge an extra fee. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our existing repertoire


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

''The Brunswick rocked to Vintage Voltage! Fantastic musicians fronted by an awesome singer. Great music, great night 👍''

''It was like being 21 again''

''I never got to see Zeppelin, but was just as good in my mind''
