Andy and Chris
Dorset and Hampshire Acoustic Duo For Hire
Indie Hits
Classic and Oldies
Garage / Alternative
Chris and Andy are an acoustic duo for hire based in Hampshire and Dorset. They don't tend to conform to the usual acoustic duo stereotype of love ballads and slow songs. Instead they have quite a strict set of rules that govern what they play.
Rule Number 1 - the songs are fun or can be played in an upbeat way.
Rule Number 2 - the songs are relatively easy to sing.
As musicians they have shared stages with the likes of Roger Daltry, Busted, Status Quo and worked with artists such as Wretch 32 and N-Dubz. They've performed at hundreds of weddings and events in various bands and acts in their career as professional musicians.
Socially Distanced and Covid-19 Conforming Wedding Music
If you're looking for a fun duo that play a good mix of upbeat acoustic guitar based background music then get in touch. The duo are perfect for a small socially distanced wedding and are more than capable of adhering to covid-19 safety measures. They are more than happy to wear masks, socially distance, and can take requests over email or text. They both have kids at home and so are pretty much in lockdown 24/7 anyway but are happy to be tested ahead of events if the client covers the additional cost.
Virtual / Zoom Performances Available
The duo are able to play over zoom or virtually for events during lockdown. Get in touch to find out details.

“5/5 Chris and Andy were phenomenal. Absolutely everything we wished for. Our wedding was not your average wedding as it was out in the woods with no electricity. Chris and Andy went above and beyond and we would recommend them to anyone. Every single person at the wedding commented on how good Chris and Andy were. They played all the song we requested and made the performance very fun. We didn’t want them to stop performing! Thank you so much for making our special day even more incredible. I will recommend you guys to everyone and we hope to use you again for another event. Thank you again!”
Laura & Matthew - Wedding - The Green Escape, Dorking - July 2023
Chris, Andy, Just a note to thank you both for a great evening. It was a fantastic surprise and we all loved it, and the whole family had a really good evening. The tech all worked really well - we had you turned up loud on the surround sound system and it all sounded really good, nice clear bass, well mixed etc. I am sure it was a bit strange at your end playing to a laptop, but it didn’t come across. All in all definitely a lockdown classic memory that will always stay with us - 22nd Birthday Party March 2021 via Zoom
