Rock duo

Witham

Sophie & Harley, aka The Budds met in 2015 at download festival. Their love of music pulled them together and they have been romantically intertwined ever since. They have played many stages from small festivals to local pub gigs, to wedding and even a pre-theatre show. The Budds bring a slick sound to any occasion. Living together and having limitless rehearsal time really pays off! Sophie sings with heart and soul and Harley plays with finesse. They love the sounds of Motown to pop to rock. Please let us know if you have any questions at all! Much Love

The Budds' Reviews

5 out of 5

Honestly, you were amazing. It’s always refreshing when the guests say you were the best bit of the wedding and they had no idea how much of a powerful voice you have.

Sister Echo performed as our musical guest on January 29th 2023 at the Golden Goose Theatre. Their presence elevated the entire evening - performing halfway through the performance and again at the end. Everyone loved their sound and their ethos, and we'd be thrilled to have them again
