The Fastbacks
Act fee £800 to £995
Chic and cool, they take popular songs currently in the charts and classic songs we all know and give them The Fastbacks treatment. Their influences are very varied including Motown and Northern soul, Funk, Jazz, New Orleans Rhythm and Blues and Reggae. The vintage sound is created with instruments from the 60s and 70s and played with a love of classic music from that period.
The Fastbacks are a themed band that will change the mood of any event. They have had years of experiences in performing at corporate events, festivals, weddings, music venues and various other situations.
The band arrive in style with tweed suits, flat caps, vintage equipment, mood setting lighting and a full PA.
The recorded music they play in between sets continues the cool vintage vibe so the whole night will see guests being transported to distant time periods when music shaped and influenced the youth of their time, and has continued to do this for generations.
The Fastbacks were featured in OK Magazine in May 2015 when they played at Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwicks marriage to partner Rosie Nicholl.
The Fastbacks recently appeared in the film 'Youth' with the likes of Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel. Their version of 'You Got The Love' became the title track of the film and has gained a lot of interest for the band. They also toured Germany supporting Simply Red in Summer 2016.
