"I just wanted to thank you and Tony so very much for a fantastic evening last Wednesday – I hope that you did not get back home too late! You are both amazing musicians !! so many of our team said what a fabulous way to end such a challenging day with a good old sing song! Once again, thank you for a simply fabulous evening – truly memorable."

Sue's review of Two Man Band

Ideal for:

Acoustic bands can play at different volume levels depending on what is needed and this makes them ideal for all sorts of events. For instance, acoustic cover duos are perfect at wedding dinners and corporate drinks receptions, as they are loud enough to be enjoyed whilst still allowing guests to hold a conversation. They can prove to be a wonderful ice breaker for guests that haven't met before. Acoustic bands can provide an intimate performance to entertain your guests at any time during your event, and are the perfect choice for serenading a bride-to-be down the aisle!

They can also play in a variety of venues and spaces, both outdoor and indoor. Unlike a full band, they will not have as many technical requirements (such as lots of power sources) and are unlikely to affect a venues sound limiter - unlike a full band who may risk cutting the power!

When booking Acoustic Bands:

If you have any special requests (such as a first dance) then it's important to get them across to your band as soon as you can, as it will take time to re-arrange and rehearse the songs. You should also be prepared for any requests to be done in more of an acoustic style, which may be different to the original recording. Some bands will offer to send you across a recording in advance.

Prices for Acoustic Bands:
