Vanilla provide something for everyone, a stylish modern acoustic duo performing fantastic versions of some of your favorite contemporary and classic songs!

The duo are extremely versatile, boasting both female and male lead vocals, and a large and diverse repertoire. Equally at home performing for small intimate gatherings, parties, wedding receptions, and corporate functions, Vanilla can create a subtle pastiche of soft sound or a high-energy performance as required.

For clients desiring a more energetic performance and bigger sound for evening entertainment, Vanilla are also available as a 3 piece with the addition of a great percussionist, perfect for filling the dance floor!

The individual professional experience of Vanilla includes live session and studio work with major labels, top international producers and writers for artists such as Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud, Pet Shop Boys, The Saturdays, to name but a few! Recent live performances include European and US tours with the bands Supergrass, The Coral and Taylor Hawkins, and at festivals such as Glastonbury, Cornbury and Womad.

Having quickly made a name for themselves in 2012 gigging in and around Oxford, gaining residencies at venues such as hotel Malmaison and Blenheim Palace, Vanilla also often perform across the country at stately homes and country house hotels, for corporate events, weddings, parties and birthday celebrations.

The duo can be flexible with regards to dress code, special requests, and playing time to ensure that your event is a success. Specially requested songs can also be incorporated into their repertoire for a personalised touch.

What people say Help

  • Vanilla have provided an excellent standard of quality music at the Palace and are now regulars for playing at our Sunday lunches in the Orangery. They appeal to a wide range of ages but their covers of current music are unbeatable! Both have wonderful voices and are a pleasure to listen to. They also are always punctual and extremely flexible. I am only too happy to recommend them to clients.

  • I will be asking Vanilla duo to play at my acoustic music nights as often as possible. Stunning vocals and guitar wizardy, and beautiful bvs, their take on some of the most popular songs ever written are pure class. Very entertaining and highly recommended!

  • We booked Vanilla for an outdoor birthday party and it was such a lot of fun! Patrick made all the arrangements and came back to us immediately when we had questions about setting up or requests. Then on the night they went down a storm! They are both clearly very talented and lots of our guests said how much they enjoyed the music. We were all a bit disappointed when it was over, so we'll definitely be getting them back!

    Alison, Corporate Event, London, June 2011
  • We were so impressed by Vanilla! All of our guests raved about them and they were very friendly and professional. For two people they make quite an impact. They made our wedding extra special. I’d definitely recommend these guys!
