Stylish London-based acoustic vocal/guitar duo, specialising in acoustic arrangements for wedding ceremonies, parties and receptions.
Bianca and Mark have both worked as professionals in the music industry for many years, including session work, recordings and live tours across the globe. Now firmly based in the UK they specialise in wedding ceremonies, receptions and parties and have an adaptable set list of songs covering 00's, 90's, 80's and 70's from artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Sting, Fleetwood Mac, RHCP, and modern tracks by Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse, Gnarls Barclay, Alanis Morissette, Duffy, Sam Sparro and many others.
Whatever the occasion having a simple blend of relaxing acoustic guitar with high quality vocals would be perfect either as your main act for a more relaxed and classy evening of entertainment or to provide live music before or in-between DJ sets.
Both Bianca and Mark have worked with some of the UK's top writers and producers, completing recording sessions for artists such as Gareth Gates, Emma Bunton, Rachel Stevens, Osmond Wright and many others. As live performers they have supported Tommy Lee, Puddle Of Mud, Jamie Cullum and U.T.I.O.G.

James and Claire, Party, Kent, March 2010Black & Gold made our evening that extra bit special. Their set list consisted of one fantastic song after the other and we did not want it to end. A simply awesome performance, thank you.

Jon Vickers , Wedding , Oxfordshire, August 2009Bianca's voice was absolutely incredible and the quality of the guitar playing was fantastic! Anybody that is looking for an incredibly modern, classy and talented duo for their event should look no further. The duo are absolutely fab and without them at our function it would have not have been as memorable.
