Acoustic Duos for hire in Greater Manchester
Latest reviews of our Acoustic Duos in Greater Manchester
"Booking Naked Stereo was the best decision we made for our entire party. They were AMAZING! Genuinely brilliant musicians - Paul's looping to build their sound is amazing to watch and then the music he plays is just incredible and fills the room way more than a 2 piece should! Then Crissie's vocals are SO good! She's got an amazing range and together it means the songs they play are super fun for everyone! Their ability to read the room really sets them apart - they flexed their setlist on the fly, picked up on what was landing, and kept people on the dance floor all night. Everyone loved them - 70 year olds and 35 year olds all with different music tastes. Everyone was absolutely raving about them - and the Venue Manager took their details after their set to book them for their live music nights too! They're also unbelievably easy to deal with - from first email they were an absolute pleasure, made the entire process so so easy, and were completely flexible with making sure we had the night we wanted! Nothing was too much trouble (and they are genuinely lovely people too!) 100% recommended to book Naked Stereo. I'm dying to see them again!"

Janet hired The Cover Babes for a Private event (available in Greater Manchester)
"The Cover Babes were awesome. They joined a weary group of volunteers at the end of a week long Scout Jamboree. They played a big set with some great tracks, the crowd needed the time to unwind and were never expecting to be dancing and raving but the Cover Babes still managed to get us all going!"

Can any acoustic duo play my favourite song?

You can view the acoustic duo's song list on their Encore profile.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our acoustic duos are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our acoustic duos will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
