Review Centre: 1950s & 60s Style Bands

"Louise is a born performer. Her own songs draw on musical influences such as Billie Holiday, Etta James and Jill Scott and she can move crowds in stadium, so universal are her songs. But, when accompanied by her guitarist, in the intimate Glade bar at Sketch, she sings Pop, Soul, Jazz songs of singers she so admires, she never mimics: she has her own voice… Be prepared to be touched!"

"Would highly recommend The Blue Suede Shoes, they are professional, friendly and played fantastically at our wedding. From being let down by another supplier for music Ben was so helpful and stepped in so thank you so much for being part of our special day. You guys were absolutely great! "

"We are a Special Needs Transport Company who supplies services for anyone who have mobility issues. We booked Ruby to perform at our Employee of the Year Awards 2018. In the ordinance were some of our Ring and Ride passengers and also children from one of the special schools we assist with transport. Ruby was amazing not only with her singing talents but also her talent of getting everyone to join in, including the children. We would not hesitate to book Ruby again."

"Love For Sale were the perfect accompaniment to our celebratory event and made hiring a band one of the easiest and most pleasant experiences. Conversation was smooth, with nothing too much trouble and they were more than happy to work around our schedule. They were able to read the room well, and played accordingly. We received a great deal of positive feedback about the music, and the band were a hit with all our guests and they really did elevate our evening to the next level. Their flexibility, positive attitude and willingness to please make them suited to any occasion and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. In fact, I rather look forward to next year’s event in which I fully intend to have them back – if they’re free! "

" This band is exceptional , They played at our Masonic Club and played at a show I organised at Blackpool North Pier. They were by far the best act on the show and there 60s and 70s music goes down very well with young and old especially the younger generation . They are a band who love their music and at times they don't want to leave the stage . Even when I am not organising an event I try to follow them wherever they play . Nothing is too much bother to them and they are a band who not only play together but are friends . I would have no hesitation in booking them when I have an event. I went to an event on New Years Eve 2024 where they played for three hours and the audience were still shouting for more and that was after they had already entertained with 48 songs and never sang the same song twice. Their range of music goes way above the 60s and 70s music but that's what they specialise in . Booking this band you will not be disappointed and they are always very reasonable with the price. "

"We would recommend The Blue Suede Shoes to anyone who is planning an event and want the greatest night ever! Ben A, Stu and Ben F came as a trio, and were so professional, friendly and reliable. Such a great sound too! They had us dancing to 50s and 60s tracks - exactly what we had asked for. All our guests kept asking where had we found them! Thank you guys, you are fantastic. xx"
