FixTheMusic has curated the UK's best Gatsby bands and 1920s bands available for hire throughout the country and made it easy to hire them for your own wedding, vintage party or event. The bands have taken their inspiration from the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald written in 1925, as well as the main vintage themes from the roaring 1920s era.
What kind of music will the Gatsby band perform?
Our Great Gatsby-style bands perform both vintage jazz hits and modern songs done in the vintage, jazzy style. Think Postmodern Jukebox style. Think "All About That Bass" with a swing beat and sung by a singer wearing a 1920s-style flapper dress.
Since the 2013 release of the Great Gatsby movie featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, the UK has seen a massive increase in the number of Great Gatsby themed events. Other popular themes include 1920s prohibition-era and speakeasy-style events. These themed events hark back to Prohibition Era which lasted between 17th January 1920 and 5th December 1933, during which time alcohol in the United States was banned from being produced or sold. As such, illegal speakeasy bars were formed underground selling bootleg liquor. Nowadays, the phrase refers to retro style bars and other themes. Speakeasy bands have also risen to prominence alongside Gatsby bands.
More and more couples are choosing to have a 1920s, vintage-themed wedding, and the trend has also taken off in the corporate world, with many large conferences or company parties also using this theme.
Our Great Gatsby jazz bands are available to hire for weddings, corporate events and charity functions throughout the UK. They are in particularly high demand at events in London and the south-east of England, as well as in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford, Cardiff and across Scotland (especially events in Edinburgh and Glasgow).
