The Mustangs | 50S & 60S Vintage Band Manchester

The Mustangs create a classy, slick, vintage sound that all ages will want to dance to - their music is universal, fresh and danceable and performed by fantastic young musicians based in the North West.

Book within 7 days of your enquiry and get 2 x 30 minute afternoon duo sets for £235 (worth £410). Discounts now available for selected Fridays and Saturdays May-August 2017, as well as for weekday and low season bookings.

Chic and cool, The Mustangs play primarily 60s pop, soul, 50s rock’n’roll, funk, jazz and blues, but they also put own vintage twist on a few modern chart hits.

With years of experience playing quirky covers, The Mustangs are a band who know how to fill a dancefloor. The two lead singers (who recently got married themselves) are best friends with the rest of the band, which creates a chemistry on stage that is infectious for all to see.

The band appeared in the 2016 film 'Youth' alongside Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel and Jane Fonda. After their summer tour of Germany supporting Simply Red, they are set to release their first album in Germany in the Autumn. The Mustangs are not your average party band!

The Mustangs arrive in style with tweed suits, flat caps, and braces. They bring 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 style and quality of music was perfect, with a real mix of crowd pleasing music, something for everyone! Katie, Wedding, Wirral

They always provide a laptop DJ service (with lighting) and can take requests too, for no extra charge.

For smaller or quieter events, we recommend The Mustangs Unplugged: the same musicians, playing the same songs but using acoustic instruments.

This is the ideal choice for situations where the volume needs to be lower but the energy still needs to be high! The versatility of The 'Unplugged' option is that the band are not tied to a power supply so they can play inside or out. They are also completely mobile and can move around in between songs with ease.

Whether you book the band "Unplugged" or not, they're able to learn songs on request and give them the full Mustangs treatment.

The Mustangs are in our opinion one of the most unique and quirky vintage wedding bands available in Lancashire and the North West.

Will, Private Party in Barnsley, February 2019

“They were absolutely excellent, showed up in good time, set up without a fuss, fit in perfectly with the schedule and played fantastically. The first song they played for us was just as we imagined, and they got everyone up dancing. Couldn't speak more highly of them.”

Rik, Wedding in North Yorkshire, January 2017

Ben & Zoe, Wedding in Salford, December 2016

Mark, Wedding in Northumberland, November 2016

“We were extremely please with The Mustangs. The guys were fab, really friendly and they sounded great. They even played our requested song 'Wonderwall' in a swing style which was brilliant and suited our venue and theme. Everyone loved the band and they got everyone on the dance floor. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.”

Sonya & Dan, Wedding in Clitheroe, March 2016

Katie, Wedding in the Wirral, July 2015

“The band was excellent. They suited the environment with their flat caps look. The sax and double bass sounded so mellow and the whole band were spot on. People kept asking me where I'd found them and said they were tremendous. Even people in the bar area (not in our party) were asking about them. Lovely music, great to dance and to listen to. I'd love to hear them again.”

Rhian, Birthday Party in Lathom, November 2015

“The band were fantastic, the music perfectly fitted the style of the wedding and they got everybody up dancing. I would definitely recommend them!”
