PRETTY IN PINK are a 5-piece band from North Yorkshire and the North East of England. They bring the best of the 80's with vocals of the fabulous Mika Mamon and Daniel Hunt who also provides guitar and keyboards. Together they create a vocal soundscape vital to that decade and can cover any track from the era. They are supported by the metronomic drumming of Ricky Harty, impressive keys of Richard Bailey and bouncing basslines from Roger Roper. They also have resident sound/audio engineers and may add extra musicians, dancers, backing vocals as appropriate to the client and venue but also work as a trio for smaller events.
Mika is an award-winning vocalist and featured alongside Jesy Nelson of Little Mix in the 2020 Women of Inspiration Awards for her charity work including the single Stand Together Apart and in the 2021 World Songwriting Awards, Best Collaboration with Daniel Hunt and US rapper Sayiboy for her single Never Give Up, used around the world as a symbol of breast cancer awareness which followed up on her summer 2020 bronze disc smash single Holiday Romance.
Members of the band have featured alongside the likes of Oasis, Foo Fighters, Tom Jones, James Arthur, Altered Images, Depeche Mode, Texas, A Flock of Seagulls, Bastille, Tina Turner and more, on stage, as session musicians or as support bands so there is a fab pedigree and some great stories from them.

Mika and the boys were such nice people too.”

“Booked the band for my dad's 50th and they didn't disappoint! I'm more of a rock person, musically, but they still had me hooked. Everyone danced all night.
The DJ set was great too. Rock and roll, motown and some modern stuff thrown in. Perfect.”
