Duos in Cardiff for live events
What a Cardiff music duo typically offers
A music duo in Cardiff is a compact live act designed for venues that want real performance without the footprint of a full band. Most duos feature two performers covering vocals plus an instrument pairing such as acoustic guitar and voice, piano and voice, jazz guitar and saxophone, or an electronic setup where one member handles keys/tracks while the other performs vocals or a lead instrument. Visitors and planners can usually expect a balanced mix of background-friendly material and more upbeat sets for later in the event, with song choices adapted to the audience and venue sound limits.
Suitable occasions in Cardiff and South Wales
Cardiff duos are commonly booked for weddings, corporate events, private parties, hotel lounges, restaurants, awards receptions, student or alumni functions, and community celebrations. They work well for ceremonies, drinks receptions, dinners, and early-evening entertainment, and many can shift into a more energetic set for dancing in smaller rooms where a full band would be too loud or space-heavy.
Practical planning and pricing
Typical price range: Around £350–£900 for 2 hours of performance, depending on day of week, season, reputation, and travel within South Wales. Longer coverage (for example 3–4 hours with breaks) often lands in the £600–£1,400 range, and premium specialist acts can be higher.
Equipment: Many duos supply a compact PA, microphones, stands, and basic mixing suitable for 50–150 guests; larger rooms may need upgraded sound.
Space and power: Plan for roughly 2m x 2m plus a nearby standard power socket.
- Set format: Usually 2 × 45 minutes or 3 × 40 minutes, with breaks
- Setup time: Typically 45–90 minutes, plus soundcheck if required
- Noise control: Acoustic or low-volume options are often available
Booking considerations
Lead time: Weekends and summer dates in Cardiff can book out early, especially for weddings.
Contracts and payments: Expect a written agreement, a deposit (often 20–50%), and defined start/finish times.
Venue requirements: Confirm access/parking, load-in route, and any curfews. If music is in a public venue, check it holds the appropriate PRS for Music licence.
Special requests: Provide first-dance or key-song choices well in advance, and clarify whether the duo can learn specific tracks.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
For peak Saturdays and summer weddings, 6–12 months is common. For midweek corporate events, 4–8 weeks may be enough, but earlier is safer for popular Cardiff duos.
Do duos provide their own sound system?
Most do for small to medium spaces. If you expect more than 150 guests or a challenging room, ask about larger PA options or coordinating with the venue’s in-house system.
Can a duo play both background and party music?
Yes, many plan a progression: softer sets for arrivals and dining, then livelier material later. Share your schedule so the energy level matches each moment.
What should I confirm before paying a deposit?
Confirm timings, performance location, equipment needs, setup window, travel or parking costs, cancellation terms, and whether a playlist service is included during breaks.
