From Elvis and Chuck Berry to The Beatles and The Kinks, the 50s and 60s gave us the songs that started it all. This set is perfect for jiving, twisting and singing along.
It is a favourite for golden and ruby anniversaries, 70th and 80th birthdays and vintage-themed weddings.

FAQs
Is a 50s and 60s set suitable for a golden anniversary?
It is ideal. We often play the songs that were popular in the year the couple married.
Can you play songs from a specific year?
Yes. Tell us the year and we will build a set around the hits of that time.
Do you play skiffle and doo-wop too?
Yes, when the crowd wants it.
