Acoustic Wedding band - ceremony, champagne reception, evening reception + DJ!
Description
The Distance are Mat O’Neill and Sophie-Dian Jones, an acoustic duo specializing in all-day wedding entertainment.
We perform vocal harmonies with acoustic guitars, ukulele, harmonica and have recently introduced a loop pedal to give us a little extra in the way of percussion. The result is a sound that can be anywhere from soulful background accompaniment to a wedding breakfast, to a full on party with stage lighting and a powerful PA system. We can provide musical entertainment for your entire wedding day from the ceremony right through to the end of the evening reception, or we can perform a single set at your birthday party, company event or house party. We’re very flexible with timings and are able to travel all over the UK.
We’re constantly updating our set list with new songs as well as changing the instrumentation to suit every mood, so if you’ve ever wondered what Mr Brightside would sound like played on a ukulele, you’re in luck!
Our previous clients have been kind enough to give us some glowing reviews on facebook, google and twitter and we often see clients again after their friends and family book us for a subsequent event after seeing us perform, and this kind of word-of-mouth publicity is priceless.
We also provide a DJ service to keep the party going while we’re not performing, this comes courtesy of our laptop which is full to bursting with music from all genres - 15,642 tracks at the last count and growing all the time. So if booking a separate DJ isn’t within your budget, we’ve got you covered!
Want a live performance of your First Dance? No problem. Our past clients have enjoyed acoustic arrangements of At Last (Etta James), A Thousand Years (From ‘The Vampire Diaries’), Still The One (Shania Twain), Nothing Else Matters (Metallica), The Luckiest (Ben Folds), I Won’t Give Up (Jason Mraz), Shut Up And Dance (Walk The Moon), as well as countless others.
