Acoustic duo
Salford
Public liability insurance of £10 million

All together now!! Remember the songs that tell the story of your life? We’re talking songs of nostalgia, childhood and adventures with friends - soundtracks to summer romances and cosy winter evenings with family. We're Joe and Danny, and over our 10 years of performing together we have covered a lot of musical ground. We have explored pop and rock, jazz, blues and soul and everything in between as we share the music we love with people who are absolutely going to love it. All the while, we still bring the simple acoustic duo vibes (one voice, one guitar, simple!) that fits so nicely anywhere from an intimate wedding breakfast to a boozy open mic. We’re going to be reliving all of our fondest musical memories - and creating new ones - as we invite our audience to celebrate with us what makes our favourite songs so special, from the Beatles to Billie Eilish. Our 10-year working relationship has allowed us to do things that others cannot, with a mutual musical understanding that allows us to change up familiar songs and improvise on the fly and achieve a flowing, free timing that allows us to appreciate those little musical climaxes a little bit longer. Joe also boasts a BA in Music from the University of Leeds where he got acclaim for his vibrant and energetic performances. We hope to see you at a show soon. Joe and Danny x

Arden Sky are an excellent guitar and vocal duo offering interpretations of classic songs that are fresh but with a traditional feel. Their arrangements are true to the spirit of the originals but, because of their unique sound, offer something different to a more conventional jazz act. Danny’s guitar arrangements are fun and inventive and Joe’s vocals bright and powerful. Both are rooted in jazz traditions and draw on the best of the versions we all know and love, but are their own take with a modern touch, making them the perfect ‘old school’ jazz act for a 21st century audience. On a personal note I’d add that they are both lovely and professional guys and a pleasure to work with.

Arden Sky provided the perfect accompaniment to our wedding day. From initially booking them, they were so on board with what we wanted and provided the perfect package tailored to our needs, including an exceptional instrumental wedding party entrance. Their option to offer requests and learn new songs made the event feel unique and against the backdrop of their wide ranging and versatile repertoire of songs they put together a setlist for the event that got our guests up dancing and moving late into the night. They were also so helpful throughout the day, offering to make additional announcements such as cutting of the cake and evening buffet. They went above and beyond the responsibilities of a wedding band. I could not recommend Arden Sky highly enough for any event, in particular a wedding.
