A 70th birthday is a big milestone, and often a party for three or four generations. The music they grew up with – the 60s and early 70s – is music that everyone in the room knows.
Acts that suit a 70th
- 60s icons: Tom Jones and Dusty Springfield tributes bring the songs they danced to as teenagers.
- Soft rock and ballads: a Karen Carpenter tribute suits a more relaxed party.
- Harmony groups: Big Men In Town recreate Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
- Crooners: a Rat Pack tribute suits a sophisticated dinner party.

Timing
Many 70th parties start earlier than other birthdays. A late-afternoon or early-evening start suits older guests and young children, and finishes before everyone gets tired. Discuss set times with the act so the highlight isn't too late.
Comfort and accessibility
- Ground-floor rooms or lifts
- Seating close to the action for those who don't dance
- A sound level that lets people talk
- Accessible toilets and parking near the entrance
Personal touches
- A "this is your life" photo display
- Messages from friends and family who can't attend
- A favourite song performed for them, with the family gathered round
Quick answers
Should we have a band or a singer?
For a smaller room or an older crowd, a vocalist or tribute is often better than a loud band.
What time should the party start?
Earlier than usual often works well, for example a late-afternoon or early-evening start.
Can the act dedicate a song?
Yes. Let us know when you book.
