About / Biography

Covering all genres and styles from all eras, these two have worked with celebrity talent and regularly perform solo, as a duo, or with a band. With a 100% rate of 5-star reviews across multiple platforms, they are proud to offer exceptional customer service, excellent value for money, flexibility, versatility, and professionalism. Their most popular shows are their acoustic pop duo set, an upbeat pop set with backing tracks, or their "songs from stage and screen" duo show.

New for 2025 - why not book a themed set for your guests, such as "Grease Singalong"? A night of iconic hits, 2 live singers, and all the fun that “Summer Lovin” brings! Or try "DrUnK DiSnEy"? This is the night where “Hakuna Ma-tini” is the only motto. When You Wish Upon a Bar you'll be raising glasses and voices as we belt out classics from The Lion King to The Little Mermaid. With a twist of liquid courage to help you hit those high notes, Let It Go with a frozen margarita, maybe a Pinocchi-colada, or a Genie & Tonic!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We have to say The Newcastle Arena on 4th February 2024 - because we got engaged, on stage in front of thousands of people!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Our duo shows started when we recorded (just for fun) Shallow from A Star Is Born. That will always be a special one for us and without comparison - always goes down so well at gigs. To perform though - can it get much better than the high octane energy of Dead Ringer from Meat Loaf and Cher?! Two LEGENDS!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Tom (beats) has worked with celebrity talent like Olly Murs, Cat Stevens, Robson Green (of Robson and Jerome) and Labi Siffre and has experience performing classics from every era or genre, from Pop and Rock to Opera and Musical Theatre. Bobs has taught drama and performing arts to college students across the South East and performed in many theatres. We met at a uni gig at Goldsmiths University and both have Theatre degrees. This is obvious at our shows, as our sets always a focus not just on vocal performance, but on movement, audience interaction and that engaging live experience. We have performed across the UK at many weddings, parties and events - as a soloist, duo and fronting a band.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Weddings. Making memories with people and putting a smile on their faces, giving them “head turn” moments. Getting people vibing and boogying. Putting that soundtrack to their special day - it’s electric. There are also a handful of small, local pubs that we just adore. We always get such a warm reception and they appreciate us being there every time - it's magical.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Load-in/Setup Time: 1 hour before performance
Load-out/Pack Down Time: 40 mins
Performance times are usually 2 x 45 minutes
Extra charges may apply when time of return is midnight to 2am.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. If there is no power, we have a battery powered PA system which I can bring. This must be requested in advance.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but usually limit this to 5 songs and they must give us at least 2 weeks notice. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let use our wealth of experience to choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Here is a recent review: "both amazing in their own right. An absolute dream team together. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect!"
- Wedding Client, June 2024
