Music Duos in Newcastle upon Tyne
Live duos for weddings and parties in Newcastle upon Tyne
A duo gives you more than a solo act without the size of a full band. In Newcastle upon Tyne, duos are booked for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, dinners and parties, adding harmonies and a fuller sound while still fitting into a small space.
Whether your wedding is near Newcastle and Gateshead or further afield, the duos here cover the whole of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local venues include Newcastle Civic Centre, Close House and Wylam Brewery, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Northside Farm, The Vermont Hotel and The Biscuit Factory, with details of each.
Duos come in several styles: acoustic duos playing stripped-back versions of well-known songs, jazz and lounge duos for a relaxed reception, and party duos using backing tracks to give a full-band sound for dancing.

For most receptions and dinners, yes. A duo comfortably fills a room of around 100 guests and needs only a small area to set up. For a large function room or a crowd that wants to dance all night, look for a party duo with a bigger PA, or consider a full band.
Most duo bookings fall between £450 and £1,400. A single daytime set sits at the lower end, while a duo covering the ceremony, drinks, meal and an evening set sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.
Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.
