90s Retro Night in Norfolk: Britpop, Pop and Dance Classics

Norfolk’s Only Trading Standards Approved DJ · Rated 4.9 out of 5 from more than 250 reviews
A 90s retro night in Norfolk takes your guests back to curtained haircuts, combat trousers and chart-topping hits. I’m Tim Daymond, known as Tinsel Tim. I’ve been a DJ since 1976, and in 1995 my roadshow traded as Radio Gets Wild.
So I played these songs when they were brand new. Below, you’ll find the music, the routines and my prices.
Why Choose a 90s Retro Night in Norfolk?
The 90s weren’t just another decade. In fact, they transformed popular music, from Britpop anthems and boy bands to the explosion of dance music.
Also, the decade gave us brilliant girl groups and the first big hip-hop hits in the charts. So a 90s theme creates a wonderful atmosphere where:
- guests of all ages connect through shared musical memories,
- everybody knows the words, and the dance routines too,
- the dance floor stays busy because every track is familiar,
- and nostalgia combines perfectly with genuine party energy.
As a result, a 90s retro night suits milestone birthdays, evening wedding receptions and work celebrations alike.

The Famous Moves at a 90s Retro Night in Norfolk
No 90s celebration is complete without the famous moves. So I happily lead your guests through these crowd-pleasers:
- Macarena: the defining dance craze that nobody can resist.
- Saturday Night: Whigfield’s simple but infectious routine.
- Tragedy: complete with every Steps hand movement.
- Cha Cha Slide: technically from 2000, but I’ll make an exception.
- Y.M.C.A.: because some classics never die.
Tim’s tip: Ask guests to dig out combat trousers, crop tops and bucket hats. Then the photographs look brilliantly authentic.
