Duos in Edinburg: What to expect for events and private functions
Overview of duo formats and sound
Duos are a common live music choice in Edinburg (also frequently searched as “Edinburgh”), because they balance live performance with manageable space, volume, and logistics. Most duos fall into a few practical formats: acoustic vocal-and-guitar, piano-and-vocal, jazz pairings (for example saxophone with keys or guitar), classical combinations (such as violin and cello), or hybrid “live plus tracks” setups where one performer triggers backing stems. The result is typically a clear, intimate sound that can be scaled from background ambience to a focused performance, depending on set length, repertoire, and amplification.
Suitable occasions and typical running order
Duos are well suited for weddings, corporate receptions, product launches, private dinners, hotel lounges, and community events where planners want live music without the footprint of a full band. A common structure is 2 × 45 minutes or 3 × 40 minutes over a 2–3 hour window, with breaks coordinated around speeches, dining service, or room transitions. Many duos can also provide ceremony music (shorter, specific song choices) and then switch to reception sets later in the day.
- Background sets during arrivals and drinks receptions
- Feature sets after dinner or during a short “attention moment”
- Ceremony selections for entrances and signing moments
- Late-evening, higher-energy sets in venues with controlled volume limits
Practical details for planners
Price range: Many professional duos in Edinburg commonly fall between £350–£1,200, depending on date, season, experience, travel, and performance length. Premium dates, late finishes, and special requests can increase fees.
Equipment: Some duos are “plug-and-play” and bring a compact PA, microphones, small mixer, and basic lighting; others expect an in-house system. Always confirm whether the quote includes sound equipment, setup time, and an on-site soundcheck.
Space and power: Allow a clear performance area of roughly 2 m x 2 m (more for keys), plus one or two standard power outlets.
Booking considerations: Ask for a written agreement covering start/finish times, breaks, overtime rates, deposit, cancellation terms, and contingency plans for illness. If your venue requires it, confirm
Insurance: Public liability cover and any venue-specific documentation.
Clarify Noise limits: and curfews early, particularly for heritage buildings and city-centre locations.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
For peak weekends and summer dates, booking 3–9 months ahead is common. Midweek and off-season dates may have shorter lead times.
Can a duo handle both background music and dancing?
Often, yes – if the duo offers amplification and higher-energy material. For full dance-floor coverage, some add a DJ-style playlist between sets or offer a “DJ add-on” service.
Do I need to provide sound equipment?
Not always. Confirm equipment included: PA, microphones, and any lighting. If the venue has an in-house system, share its specifications so the duo can plan connectors and setup.
What information should I send when requesting a quote?
Include date and times, venue address and access details, occasion type, set length, preferred format, sound needs, speeches or ceremony, and any song requests for key moments.
