Members of the band have worked with The Bootleg Beatles, The Swinging Blue Jeans and Manfred Mann, and they have appeared at the O2 Academy, Shakespeare’s Globe and The Rhythm Festival, as well as international festivals.

The band were amazing! They performed 2 sets for us and had everyone on the floor dancing. A real mixture of oldies and new, that fitted all our age groups at our wedding. Paula, Wedding, Warwickshire

These guys are not just a one-trick pony! They’ll whisk you back with a tribute to the swinging 60s, with tunes from The Beatles, The Monkees, The Beach Boys and more! They go all out for the authentic '60s vibe—from their threads to the instruments they jam on. And hey, if you want costume changes, just give them a shout—they're all about making it a blast!

The band work exclusively for Function Central as one of their top wedding bands in the West Midlands and Birmingham. They offer the choice between a set of classic and modern rock and pop (perfect for cross-generational events such as weddings) or a dedicated 60s show. If you can't decide, you could go for a 60s show for the first set, and mix it up for the second!

The band also offer extra performances, low season deals and their very own laptop DJ service, providing non stop entertainment before, between and after their live sets!

“Booked the band through the agency and found the whole process easy and stress free. We had several queries that were answered promptly and very professionally. Found the whole process stress free and would thoroughly recommend both the agency and the band 100%. We received good communication and found David from the Mod Cons very approachable and he understood exactly what we wanted. On the night we were amazed by their performance and our guests thought it was the best band they have ever heard. The band is set up and performance was hassle free and they certainly made our Ruby wedding party a success. Words alone cannot describe their music. Most of our guests were so happy to listen to them and reminisce. Thank you all so much!”

Heather, Party, Arnold House, Rugby, June 2024

“This was the second time I’ve booked this band; the first was for my wedding and the second was for my husbands celebration of life party. The band were, once again, amazing. So many compliments throughout the night and they made the evening really special on what could have been a really sad occasion.”

Claire, Party, Thatcham Football Club, Berkshire, June 2024

“We booked the mod cons for our wedding and they were great. They played 2 sets which we really enjoyed and they kept us dancing through the evening. They were friendly and professional throughout. All our guests commented on how good the band were and how much they enjoyed the night.”
