ECLECTIC DREAMS - 80s LIVE EXPERIENCE
FAQs
"It's all about the little details"
Eclectic Dreams are a premium, high-octane live outfit widely regarded as one of the UK’s premier 80s tribute acts. Known for their infectious energy and concert-grade musicianship, the band delivers the ultimate 80s experience for major corporate functions, private events, music festivals, and ticketed theater shows across the South East.
Whether you are booking the band for an exclusive private celebration or promoting our flagship 'Rewind' 80s Show for a ticketed public event, Eclectic Dreams promises an unforgettable, stadium-energy journey through the greatest decade in music history.
Hopefully, you've guessed by now that we are all about the 80s. Our Set List is extensive and we have carefully chosen the greatest hits of the decade to make sure everyone can join in by either singing along or strutting their stuff on the dance floor. You can click the link below to see our entire repertoire.
As much as we inividually love to create our own music, Eclectic Dreams is covers only band. We perform everything from the One Hit Wonders through to the unforgetable Rock Anthems of the decade.
Every performance is different, so our set times are based entirely around your event. This is all discussed in detail before we confirm the booking. However... our Premier 80s show is 2 x 1 hour sets with a 30 min break. Festivals are dictated by the organisers and we are always happy to fit around the promoter's programme. Your event is unique to you and our performance will always be based around what works best for you and your guests.
The initial stage is to complete the "Booking Form" on our website. By giving us as much information as possible, we can reply with a quote for your event. If you wish to proceed, we will contact you regarding any specific requirements and work with you to plan our part of the event/party.
We quote for every individual party or event based on a number of factors. Every event is different, so we provide bespoke quotes based on location, venue requirements, performance length and production needs. As a professional 7-piece live show with full PA and lighting production, our pricing reflects the scale and quality of the experience we provide. Please complete the "Booking/Enquiry Form" and we will provide you with an estimate that's unique to your party or event.
Eclectic Dreams are based in Horsham, West Sussex, and regularly perform across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent (including frequent bookings in Guildford, Tunbridge Wells, Dorking, Maidstone, Crawley, and Brighton). We are fully equipped to adapt our sound to the strict sound limiters found in historic South East manor houses, barns, and wedding venues.
We focus on delivering the highest quality live 80s show experience within our core region, allowing us to provide reliable logistics, professional preparation and the level of performance our audiences expect.
If you have an event outside this area, please get in touch and we will always be happy to discuss your requirements.
We provide everything bar the power. We have a full lighting truss equiped with the latest programmable LED spotlights, bar lights, washes and disco lights, we come with our own professional QSC PA system (subs and heads) and the latest Behringer Wing Q mixing desk. All our musical equipment, lighting equipment and audio equipment is PAT tested and certified.
Absolutely. In fact, milestone birthdays are one of our favourite events to perform at. Our live 80s show is designed around nostalgia, audience participation and getting every generation involved. Whether your guests grew up with the original music or simply love the atmosphere of the decade, our aim is to create a packed dancefloor and a night everyone remembers.
A DJ can provide great music, but a live 80s band creates something completely different — a shared experience. Eclectic Dreams brings the energy, nostalgia and excitement of the decade to life with a full 7-piece live performance, multiple vocalists and audience interaction throughout the show.
For milestone birthdays, weddings, corporate events and private celebrations, our aim is not simply to play great songs; it is to create memorable moments that guests talk about long after the final encore.
Absolutely, if the venue has it's own system they would prefer to use, we will work with a sound engineer to create the best solution.
There is 7 of us, plus a sound engineer on the occasions we need them. The band consists of 2 lead vocalist (Bex and Kate) a keyboard player (Jason) 3 guitarists (Jack, Rob & Jacob) and a drummer (Lee). Depending on the booking and space available, the band has a number of configurations in which we can perform.
We work from a structured set list depending on the event and the performance time, however, we are always happy to learn or play any special song requests. Just let us know at the time of the booking and we will make sure it's added.
Prior to the event, we will send you an email outlining any special requirements, if you would like us to play interval music through the PA before the performance or whilst we have a break, you can add any list of songs you want (it doesn't even have to be 80s). We don't offer a specific DJ service for our events.
We take performing seriously and understand that there is always a risk of something out of the ordinary happening. We have Public Liability Insurance to the value of £5 million and Professional Indemnity to the value of £1 million. You can view our current insurance certificate here .
It’s a high-octane, concert-grade journey through the decade's biggest anthems. Combining authentic, non-stop live music, immersive visual production, and massive crowd engagement, it is specifically designed as a premium, headline attraction that fills dance floors and sells out ticketed venues.
Absolutely. We know that a successful ticketed night requires a strong marketing push, so we supply a comprehensive Media Pack to make promoting the Rewind show as effortless as possible.
Our digital assets are designed to drive engagement, boost ticket sales, and match the premium energy of our live performance. In our media toolkit, you will find:
-

To confirm your booking we require a 50% deposit, this is non-refundable in the event that the booking gets cancelled by you. If for any reason, the band has to pull out of the event, then the deposit (in full) will be returned to you. As yet, we have never had to cancel a gig; however, if it is completely unavoidable, we will do our utmost to offer the services of a replacement band.
Please confirm acceptance of our quote by email, we will send you our bank details to make an initial deposit (50%). Once this is received, the booking will be confirmed.
Great News! We love to support local venues that want to put on Live music for their customers. We always try to support at least 1 local event every few of months. Due to the nature of our size, pubs and social club bookings tend to be a slightly scaled down version. So if you think your customers are in the mood for an evening of 80s belters, then get in touch.

Absolutley, we love a good festival!
Let us know what your planning, set length and times and we can offer various configurations of the band to suit your requirements. Use our Booking/Enquiry Form to discuss dates.
This really depends on the type of event and what service you have opted for. We generally set up within 3 hours of the performance start time. However, if you have booked us for a Wedding, then the last thing you want is a bunch of musicians clattering around during your dinner, so in some cases, we will set up the night before or prioir to you arriving at the venue.
We are happy to supply promotional material / artwork and actively advertise public gigs through our Social Media channels.
We love to dress up, although we try not to go too over the top. Think more Spandau Ballet / Madonna and less 80s hair metal. We do, however, encourage you to make the most of the event, so why not theme your entire evening around "Back to the 80s".
Absolutley, there is nothing better than performing on warm summers evening, although, we are less keen to brace the elements in the middle of December. Due to the magnitude of equipment we bring, we will need power and plenty of it, an unplugged 80s gig just doesnt have the same feel.
It really depends on when you start planning your party, 6 months in advance is a great option and gives us plenty of time to discuss all the details with you. If you're a pub looking for a last minute band for a Saturday night, then feel free to get in touch, you never know, we may have a weekend off. The later you leave it, the less chance you have of the date being available. Strike whilst the iron is hot!
Unlike smaller tribute acts, Eclectic Dreams delivers a full live 80s production with seven musicians, multiple vocalists, professional sound and lighting and a performance designed around audience interaction.
