The 80s might be the most reliable decade in party music. Synths, big choruses and hooks that three generations know by heart. Our 80s set covers everything from new romantics to Stock Aitken Waterman pop.
We are regularly asked for full 80s theme nights, as well as a high-energy 80s block in the middle of a mixed wedding set.
Any time from mid evening, especially when older guests are on the floor.
Guests aged 45 and up, 50th and 60th birthdays, 80s theme parties and weddings.
