From the very outset Duncan was highly organised an an excellent communicator. He arrived in good time to set up and his performance was outstanding and well received by everyone. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

We heard the duo perform at a wedding that we attended and I knew after listening to them that this the band that we needed to hire for when our wedding comes around. We talked with them here and there before the wedding and discussed our plans and desires while also recommending a number of songs to play for the ceremony. Lizzy did a great job with rehearsing the songs and sending us samples of how they were progressing with learning them before our big day. All that hard work paid off on the actual day as they sounded amazing and filled the stage with so much great music. What's more is that our guests were especially happy with their work and thought they were beautiful too. I am very grateful that they were there for our big day and that they worked so hard to make it so unique.

FAQs

  • How long do you play for?

    We usually perform anything from an hour up to 3 x 50 min sets. We love to create a bespoke package for each occasion.

  • Do you have your own PA and lighting?

    We have a great quality PA that can be adapted for different setups. We have basic white up lighting when needed but do not provide lighting as standard.

  • Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

    Yes. All our equipment has been PAT tested and we are fully covered.

  • How much space do you require?

    We have a variety of different setups that can cater for different sized events, from a small acoustic amp, up to an 800 watt PA. We can therefore be quite flexible in terms of space, but we would advise a minimum of 3m x 2m

  • My favourite tune is not on your list. Will you be able to play it?

    We love to learn special requests, arrangement dependent, and to personalise our sets around your favourite songs/artists.

  • How many breaks do you take? How long are they?

    We usually have a short break at the end of each hour of performance. This of course will vary depending on the timings of the day.
