About

Pretty in Pink perform across the full spectrum of 80's music and beyond if you want it.

MIKA MAMON

SAMPLE SET AND SETLIST
Every event is different but to give you some food for thought,
here's a set from a recent party for the Manchester City WFC.
What an awesome night that was...!!!
The ask from us was for a full band (for this gig there were 6 of us) and to give the team and their partners an "80's night to remember"...
Well, here's what they said afterwards:
"We play for 90 minutes. You guys played for way over over 90 minutes. We were exhausted just dancing. You guys were electric and gave it everything. Such an amazing night"
Steph Houghton (Captain)
"Loved every minute. Thank you so much. The whole team were still buzzing about it on the training ground a week later"
Gareth Taylor (Manager)
"We danced from the opening number. The band were just brilliant"
Laura Coombs (Midfield)
"Just so much energy and fun. You guys really love what you do. So did we! Thank you so much!"
Jess Park (Forward)
