Hi Gavin just wanted to say a big thankyou for Saturday night. U guys are very talented I was a bit upset that the whole night went so quickly! Everyone said how great you were and the hotel are going to recommend you to people. They actually said "some bands we have are dreadful but these guys are great". Anyway thanks again. Love and best wishes from Keren and Paul x"

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Authentic music, artistry, & a great time!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Together and individually we've played for many clients and venues including... Vodafone, Pepsi, GlaxoSmithKline, Wembley, Carphone Warehouse Selfridges, New Look.

Do you have different line-up options?

The Acoustics lineup is as follows: Two voices, acoustic guitar and double bass. It's a simple recipe that makes the most of our many years of experience and musical talents.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we have a wide selection of music to play for when we're not performing.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually arrive 1.5 hours before we are due on stage. If you wish us to arrive earlier or stay later, please let us know in advance and we can easily arrange this. For wedding receptions, we need about 30-40 minutes to set up, which is usually fine to achieve in the short break after the wedding speeches, as guests socialise and tables are cleared.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, Our PA system is fully self-contained and is adequate for around 150 people. We have coloured LED lighting onstage, and scan/sweep lighting for a dancefloor area in front of the band. The Acoustics can perform with or without staging, indoors or outdoors (covered). We need an area of minimum size 5mx3m to accommodate the duo and PA/lighting.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes! If a song is not already in our repertoire, let us know in plenty of time and we'll learn it for you. We can also play the original from Mp3 through our sound system if you'd prefer.
