Redstone Collective
Postmodern jukebox pop swing band

Popular songs, irresistible swing

Purveyors of good-looking pop swing, Redstone Collective are a London postmodern jukebox wedding band and leading Gatsby band.

Perfect to act as a vintage wedding band, Great Gatsby band or 1920s corporate function band.

Having honed their skills as the resident band at the BBC Club & Grange St. Paul's they are now one of the most sought after alternative Gatsby-esq bands in the UK.

Think post modern electro-swing Beyonce and retro remixed Rihanna alongside some toe-tapping tunes from Elvis and Ray Charles. What is not to boogie at?

Vintage, Gatsby music with a postmodern twist

Taking inspiration from the lavish 1920s parties that Gatsby threw and stirring some postmodern songs in to the mix, Redstone Collective offer remixes and re-arrangements of some of your favourite chart hits in an infectious electro-swing style.

And yes, we were doing this postmodern jukebox wedding band thing before postmodern jukebox were doing it!

Pat Tobin - BBC Television Centre

Joe Winpenny - ProFitMe, Personal Fitness Investment

"The search for a band for our bar and restaurant was not easy...until we met Redstone Collective! Their repertoire is extensive, stylish and probably the best I have heard for a very long time. The modern touch given to their jazz music as well as the personality of each musician has transformed the atmosphere of our bar. They are very talented and will always bring something special to the place they play."
Clement Sargeni – Deputy General Manager, Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells

"Having you play at our wedding was definitely one of the highlights of our day. You gave us the perfect first dance - honestly, if Eric Clapton had come and performed for us it could not have been better! You gave the evening a very personal touch and many of our guests commented on your style and talent. The level of professionalism you all displayed throughout was outstanding: very sophisticated and engaging performances in the early evening which really set the mood. Then, later on, once again you gave us some fantastic music to really get up and dance to- an all-round incredible performance. I feel very privileged to have had you play on our special day. Thank you so much - I genuinely could not have chosen better music or musicians! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a band to get the Redstone Collective in, they will dazzle you."
Claudette Collier-Smith - Private Client

"Redstone Collective played at our wedding this year. They were very professional and prompt during the preparation, tailoring a set list and after providing expert feedback learning a song for our first dance. They also coped very well with the small space in our venue to perform as well as the bass sensitive noise limiter in the building. From start to finish of the set the dance floor was never empty and everyone from the teenagers to the grandparents were up dancing.We would not hesitate to recommend them."
Stephen Webster - Private Client

"We just wanted to say a (belated) thank you to you for being our wedding band at the end of March. You were spectacular, all our guests were enamoured with you! Everyone kept asking who you were and where we found you, they were truly, truly incredible. They definately made the evening, every single one of our guests danced, and were so disappointed when they announced their final song! We would highly recommend you to anyone for any function! And I am sure in the future people will be asking us to remind them of your name for their parties!"
Ruth Loamax - Private Client

"What an absolutely fantastic, entertaining, and engaging band. Guests from our wedding have been going out of their way to tell us how much they enjoyed their set. Everyone was up dancing, and my bride and I have some fantastic memories, especially singing along to the surprise "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" rap half way through - loved it!"
Stuart Henderson — Private client
