Professional acoustic guitar covers duo with many years of experience on the wedding, pub and club circuit in Bristol, Bath and the South West. Perfect for chilled background music during receptions.
The duo have been impressing audiences across the country with their unique take on rock and pop classics such as The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m In Love’ or Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit In The Sky'. Their quality acoustic set also takes in 80’s pop-rock like Michael Jackson’s ‘Leave Me Alone’ and Bon Jovi's ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’, as well recent alt-rock hits like The Killer’s ‘Human’, complemented by selections of a more laid-back vibe including faithful renditions of Beatles and Beach Boys standards.
Such a large and varied repertoire of popular songs, delivered with skilled guitar interplay and augmented by a frontman with natural charisma and the instinct to entertain, make the duo's twin acoustic guitar sound and vocal harmonies ideal live music for a wedding or birthday party, equally suited to a two hour party performance or an intimate after dinner session.
Whatever the reason for hiring a live band one can count on the versatility of the duo's sound and on their professionalism. Acoustical are keen supporters of live music in all its forms, thus their acoustic arrangements of classic rock and pop covers are performed as music was meant to be performed: 100% live with no pre-recorded backing tracks. Acoustical's frontman is a successful songwriter in his own right, with airplay on BBC Radio 2 and extremely positive reviews in many respected online music publications, as well as a qualified sound engineer - the duo providing their own quality P.A. system and lighting rig. Over the years the duo have become a popular alternative to booking a rock band or DJ for any occasion.

What people say

Charlie, Birthday Party, Hants, August 2011Acoustical delivered an excellent balance of both lively and more atmospheric tunes that perfectly set the scene for the evening. Their music was appreciated by a wide range of ages and tastes and they delivered a selection that kept everyone at the party very happy. They arrived in plenty of time to set up and they were very responsive to the party taking place around them; I would have no hesitation in booking them again for another party or in fact any event that called for a professional, high quality musical accompaniment. Thanks also for your help in getting us the right act for the evening - entirely happy with all aspects of the service.

Simon, Cricket Club Chairman, SomersetAcoustical are a fantastic acoustic act. Our Cricket Club booked them for a Dinner & Dance & the guys did a brilliant acoustic set - lots of well known covers, older ones for the wrinkliess & plenty of new stuff for the kids. Followed that with a DJ session as we danced the night away. Looking forward to seeing the duo again very soon.

Jay, Pub promoter, LondonWhen the guys turn up, you know you're going to have a good night. The simplicity of their arrangement, the skill of delivery, the choice of material and the quality of their sound leave most other acoustic duos in the dirt. I have put them on at our pub a number of times now and they haven't failed to whip the crowd up into high spirits yet. You can't beat a bit of Bristol stage-banter either!
