Known for their stylish, soulful performances and effortless professionalism, Aura bring an elevated, modern touch to every occasion. Made up of professional musicians Alana Shirley (vocals) and Paul Humphreys (guitar), Aura have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most in-demand acoustic acts. Their stripped-back style and tasteful song choices make them a perfect fit for luxury weddings, brand events, and exclusive venues looking for high-end live entertainment that feels fresh, heartfelt, and completely bespoke. Alana’s captivating voice, praised for its warmth, clarity, and emotional depth, sits at the heart of Aura’s sound.

Her delivery is always genuine, versatile, and perfectly matched to each moment. Paul, a gifted session guitarist trained at Salford University, brings a refined and expressive musicality to the duo from his many years of experience touring and recording with a range of acclaimed artists and original bands. His creative acoustic arrangements and intuitive playing style allow Aura to reimagine songs from artists like Adele, Harry Styles, Beyonce, Fleetwood Mac, and Dua Lipa – all with a smooth, acoustic twist that feels elegant and timeless. What truly sets Aura apart is their attention to detail and personal approach. Every set is tailored to the tone of the event, whether it’s a romantic aisle walk, a relaxed drinks reception, or a vibrant evening performance. With an extensive repertoire covering pop, soul, R&B, folk, and modern classics, Aura offers something for every taste - all performed live with genuine artistry and charm. Over the years, Aura have performed at over 700 events, from intimate countryside weddings to large-scale corporate functions for global brands. They are proud to be recommended suppliers at a number of luxury venues and are trusted by planners, couples, and organisers alike for their professionalism, responsiveness, and consistently high-quality performances. Their career highlights include performing at renowned UK venues, appearances alongside major acts, and private bookings across Europe. Whether performing acoustically or with the addition of tasteful live looping and subtle production, Aura always deliver a polished experience that complements the atmosphere and enhances the memories being made. For Alana and Paul, Aura is more than just a live act - it’s a passion project built on years of musical experience and a shared love of creating something truly special for every client.
