About

Our Music

Vintage television and radio theme music is the major stream in our programmes. These mini-masterpieces alerted us to the imminent start of another programme. Some transported us to different times and places, some indicated the seriousness of the subject matter and of course, some of the themes were as much fun as the programmes they heralded. In the age of streaming these gems are already beginning to fade from existence. We hope that we will help keep their spark alive.

The Retro Street Collective are an eclectic bunch with a wide range of musical experience between them including professional symphony orchestras, jazz combos, concert bands, music theatre, brass bands, a Ska band and more. Despite only being a quintet the breadth of instruments played between them ranges from recorders to ukulele, clarinet to euphonium and sax to melodica.

The Collective

Performance

The Retro Street Collective is an amateur group performing because we enjoy doing so, but we also hope to help raise money, through our concerts, for local and national good causes. A concert would usually be around 75 to 90 minutes in two halves. The Collective will usually charge a small fee covering such expenses as petrol and music.
