With a setlist that blasts through Punk\, Ska\, New Wave and early 80s Electro Pop\, Circa channel the chaos and charisma of the original scene. From The Clash to The Specials\, via T he Jam and Talking Heads\, you are taken on a musical revisit of the late 70’s and early 80’s. They’ve nailed the sound and spirit\, their gig s are alive. Crowds of old punks\, rude boys\, mods and goths pack out ven ues to skank\, stomp\, and singalong to Ant Music\, Message in a Bottle\, and Swords of a Thousand Men\, with real gusto. It’s pure energy\, It’ s loud\, It’s glorious. What sets CIRCA79 apart is their love for the er a\, and the way they bring people together\, in a joyful celebration of a time when music meant something."

Great concept\, the music from the late 70’s to the early 80’s\, which has led to the band performing an eclectic set of music\, which is the soundtrack to my late teens. Plus on top of that their presen tation\, use of social media and being approachable to their audience. Yes \, Circa have created a fun vibe\, a good night out\, but underpinned by a great set list. Kicking set\, where the audience dance\, sing\, laugh and leave buzzing."
