Reviews from local events in South East England
“Hired the guys for my wedding party, I knew they'd be good as had watched all of their YouTube videos and they didn't disappoint. They went down a storm and everyone is still talking about how good they were. Can't wait for the next time we have a big celebration and I can hire them again.”
“The guys were great! Arrived in plenty of time and played for longer than expected because the audience were having such fun. They were completely versatile and responsive to song requests and seemed to be able to play just about anything. They added huge value to the occasion and I would definitely book them again for other events. Thank you for helping to make our party so memorable.”
“The London Acoustic Duo were fantastic. They made our day absolutely perfect. I had amazing feedback from family and friends and they played all our requests we wanted and were extremely friendly, kind and professional. We’d easily recommend them and FixTheMusic who were great on the detail, responsive and really helpful on everything we needed. Thank you again so much.”

You both got the party started on the dance floor and we were dancing all night. Jim, we really appreciate your flexibility in the lead up to our special day. We enjoyed working together to plan the set list, which was just perfect. Anna, we will never forget our first dance and it was so special to have you sing the cover of the song that we wanted. You sang this beautifully and it's a moment we will treasure forever, thanks for creating such a special moment on our wedding dance floor for us. We highly recommend Tandem for any wedding / special event. They are highly professional and extremely talented <3”

Here's a List of Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Hiring an Acoustic for Weddings and Events...
What exactly is an acoustic duo?
It’s a duo of musicians with one or both members singing, with one or both playing on acoustic guitar. This, of course, is not a strict definition though. One member of the duo can instead perform on keyboard or even a reduced drum kit (snare and hi-hat) or any other acoustic instrument for that matter.
What are the advantages of hiring an acoustic duo for your wedding or event?
As they are just two musicians, the cost for hiring an acoustic duo is usually significantly less than hiring a full band. They require less time to set up and pack down at the end of the night and can perform in a smaller stage area, often less than 2m x 2m.
For what occasions are acoustic duos suitable?
Just about any occasion where live music is required, but they are particularly suitable for wedding receptions with fewer guests in smaller, more intimate wedding venues. They are suitable at venues with difficult access where it would be problematic to bring all of the equipment required for a full wedding band.
They are ideal as background music for more low-key events like a drinks reception, small corporate events or even Christmas parties.
Acoustic duos are also ideal for wedding venues with strict sound limiters in place. Most wedding venues in the UK now have sound limiters fitted – they can cause the power supply to the band to be cut off if a certain pre-determined decibel limit is exceeded. It’s best to check with your venue if they have a sound limiter installed, and at what level it is set, e.g. 95 decibels (dB), 90dB or sometimes as low as 85dB.
Hiring an acoustic duo thus means you don’t have to worry about sound limiter issues as the sound produced by the duo is always far below the limiter’s level.
Acoustic duos are also suitable for international events where you require the duo to travel to your event to perform. For example, many UK based acoustic duos on FixTheMusic perform at weddings in France, Italy and Spain.
With just two members, there is less equipment to transport and fewer expenses to pay for – clients are paying for flights and accommodation for only two musicians, rather than four or five. Hence, hiring an acoustic duo for destination weddings is a cost-effective and popular solution.
Are acoustic duos loud enough to get people dancing at a wedding reception or party?
Absolutely. Most acoustic duos have a party set ideal for dancing – some use a self-contained PA system to boost their sound when required.
How much cheaper will an acoustic duo be in comparison to a full band?
Put simply, the main factor that determines the cost of live music is the number of musicians required. Therefore, an acoustic duo is often about half the price of hiring a four-piece band for your event.
What sort of music do acoustic duos play?
Acoustic duos can perform any music that a full band would perform, of course with a more stripped-back arrangement. Their set lists often feature many acoustic guitar-based songs but they are highly skilled musicians who perform a wide range of pop and rock covers.
How do I hire an acoustic duo for my event?
On FixTheMusic there are several professional acoustic duos listed. Submit an enquiry to receive quotes directly from local duos. You can compare their quotes, message them on our secure system and when you’re ready to book, you can pay safely online by debit or credit card. It’s that simple!
