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.

Duncan was everything I had hoped for. I booked him very last minute and he was so helpful and kind and then when it came to the event..he played every song wonderfully + more. I am thrilled with how it all went and so happy to have found him. I wouldnt hesitate to ask Duncan again. He is brilliant.

We had the most incredible wedding day, thank you. It had a lot to do with all our wonderful suppliers like yourselves. We have received so many compliments about your perfomances both during the ceremony & the canape reception. Your version of 1000 Years for me to walk down the aisle to was absolutely gorgeous. The song we asked you to learn, Suddenly, has been mentioned a lot by those who recognised it from Scott & Charlene’s wedding in Neighbours back in the 80’s. The choice of songs during the canape reception went down really well. We went to another wedding in October & their reception music was so loud we found it hard to hear one another. Our guests really appreciated the background music you provided. We would not hesitate to recommend you to other couples looking for live acoustic music for their wedding day. Thanks again.

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

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