We Are The Retrobates

We are The Retrobates - welcome to our website!

We both started out as two BIMM students, busking on the streets of Brighton looking to generate enough money for a pint...while honing and practicing our skills to complete our degrees. Since graduating (with high 2:1 degrees) we have become a professional duo worthy of any party or function! 

Making sure that every toe is tapping and every hip is swinging, we offer a wide range of material from the 1940s to the present day! From vintage classics like Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles and Johnny Cash to Indie's biggest names like Oasis, The Strokes, The Smiths and more! 

We've already performed at the Eurovision song contest, Isle of Wight Festival, Kendal Calling and numerous gigs and sessions between us, we have the musical ability, skill and entertainment factor sure to make your party, wedding or function a hit! So, if you're thinking of hiring an East Sussex wedding band, be sure to add us to your list.
