ABOUT

The Alfie Kingston Duo is a professional acoustic act with many years of experience on the wedding, corporate function and party circuit in Bristol, Bath, and across the Southwest. The duo are 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 Soft Cells 'Tainted Love' and Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’, as well recent indie 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 frontman Alfie Kingston's natural charisma and 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 to hire a live band you can count on the versatility of the duo's sound and on their professionalism. The duo provides their own quality P.A. system, engineering and lighting rig, as well as a comprehensive and tailored DJ service playing a mix of classic songs from over the decades through to the present day.

The duo can offer great entertainment for all sorts of occasions with a great upbeat sound. For lovers of a stripped-down small-band feel, the duo fit brilliantly into any event. For those who demand quality live-music without pre-recorded backing tracks they are a perfect guitar duo to entertain you and your guests. Please take the time to listen to the the music we've supplied on the site, review the testimonials and be certain that you can book with confidence and know what to expect from these dynamic and versatile musicians.
