Named Bands and Singers Overview
60's Named Bands and Singers
The Swingin' Sixties live on in the 21st century with a star-studded line-up that shared airtime with Elvis, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
The Animals are still blasting out the 'House of the Rising Sun', Manfred Mann is still being 'Blinded by the Light' and Gerry & The Pacemakers are still making sure that 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Jimmy Ruffin is still wondering 'What Becomes of the Broken Hearted' while the longest running band in the history of pop - The Drifters - are still enjoying a 'Saturday Night At The Movies' and inviting audiences throughout the UK to join them!
70'S Named Bands and Singers
Carnaby Street in London was the place to be and glam rock was all the rage, but the 70s also delivered a diversity of musical approaches that live on today.
Never is that more evident than in the sounds of Status Quo, standard bearers of the 'headbanging' rock genre for more than 30 years, and still a popular draw for audiences. Equally popular is the blonde bombshell from New York - one Debbie Harry and the boys from Blondie - who notched up multiple number 1s in the mid-to-late 1970s.
Chart-topping George McCrae will still 'Rock Your Baby' at any corporate or private function and 'Everyone's a Winner' when the services of Hot Chocolate are enlisted. If it's a throwback to the 50's stopping off at the 70's that you require then it's quiffs and crepe soles all the way with Showaddywaddy, whereas if you want to relive a bit of punk and New Wave we can help fix you up with The Stranglers..
80'S Named Bands and Singers
It's as easy as ABC if you want a distinctive slice of the 80s as your primary entertainment. Martin Fry and his band are very much in demand along with some of the most distinctive and well loved vocalists of recent years. Spandau Ballet front man Tony Hadley is still 'True' to his roots while Paul Young is available to 'Lay His Hat' at your function. Go West's Pete Cox recently went west and was 'Reborn in the USA' with a vocal that is as clear today as it was when he 'Closed His Eyes' more than a quarter of a century ago.
90'S Bands
Female vocalists are bigger today than at any other time in the history of popular music and we have the contacts and connections to give you access to some of the major headline acts.
Anastacia, Celine Dion and The Corrs are just three examples of how the Norman Phillips Organisation can help you optimise the opportunities presented by corporate hospitality or simply for a private party or function.
Mick Hucknall's unique Simply Red sound is available for hire as are the first ever Pop Idols - Will Young and Gareth Gates - all you have to do is tell us your budget and details of your event and leave the rest to us.
Post Millennium Music
It seems incredible to imagine a modern music world without the all pervading influence of one Simon Cowell and his various cohorts from X Factor and Pop Idol. He above all others has put his stamp on the 21st century UK music scene but there's plenty of talent to draw from when it comes to top notch cabaret bookings
