    Hi
    Am in the process of organising a surprise 60th birthday party for my Mum and am looking to book a lively musician/duo for the party...
    Traditional enough stuff.... jives, waltzes etc.
    both sides of the family and friends are into their dancing
    but mainly looking to cater to my mothers age group.
    perhaps with a disco afterwards

    Party not til June but got lots of planning to be done so hoping to get things ticked of the list.


    Thanks in advance

    Tom Petty.... & the best thing about him is that he's 60 himself this year.

    Maybe this is a bit too traditional but I took my father to the Western, Prospect Hill for his 75th. They have fantastic jam sessions there with accordians, fiddles etc... the craic was mighty. Worth having a look & I'm sure you could have a word with them...

    Maybe a jazz/brass band you see in pubs on Sunday mornings like The Black Magic Big Band that plays Cuba. I know someone who was in a band that played a pub on Sunday morning that did really good weddings and occasions too. They had a huge repertoire and they always had wide appeal across generations. They always got people up and dancing.
