Acoustic duo

Chester

Public liability insurance of £10 million

We’re Neil and Rachel and we formed CloudCover back in 2018 (a time before hand sanitiser, face masks and social distancing!). We are an acoustic guitar and vocal duo, based in the North West in the beautiful city of Chester. Our duo is comprised of Rachel on vocals and Neil on guitar, with our aim being to reimagine the acoustic duo. With over 25 years combined gigging experience, premium equipment and a slick aesthetic, our key style is focused around acoustic versions of current chart and modern pop songs. With an ever changing set list to match what’s currently exciting the nation and getting plenty of plays! Whilst this is our primary style we also play various other genres to match a variety of venues and audiences. We have a residency in The Botanist Bars and Restaurants and can be found performing in most of their venues in the North West. We also can be found playing at the Club House and Smugglers Cove in Liverpool.

We couldn’t have asked to have a better music duo than Rachel and Neil to play at our wedding in May 😊 They arrived in good time and were ready and set up to play for our drink’s reception after our ceremony, for our guests to enjoy listening to their music. Everyone complimented how well they played for our wedding. We both absolutely loved our first dance. If we could go back in time to this moment we would. We asked Rachel and Neil to learn a song from the TV show Nashville, as we both love listening to the songs from this TV show. Rachel’s vocals and Neil’s guitar playing worked perfectly for our first dance song, they both made it magical. We can’t recommend Rachel and Neil enough. They are both easy to work with and were super friendly on our wedding day. Thank you so much for being part of our day and making it special for us.

CloudCover played during the day at our wedding. They were excellent from enquiry to performance. Could not fault their professionalism, flexibility and communication. We had so many great comments from guests and they certainly elevated the atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

We heard Rachel & Neil at a wedding fayre, we knew as soon as we heard Neil play and Rachel's voice we had to have them play at our wedding, all communication and booking was made so easy and they honestly made us feel special to them too. on the day everyone loved all of their songs they sang and as we walked down the aisle Rachel's voice just stuck in our heads and gave us them goosebumps for how perfect Rachel sounded. they helped massive have everyone relaxed and just listening to them play. Cloud cover are absolutely brilliant and would hughly reccomend, we can't wait to see you at a botanist or helpfully more weddings.
