Bourne Acoustic Duo – 100% live professional acoustic duo for weddings, parties & corporate events throughout Dorset, Hampshire & the UK

Having played throughout the UK for over 2 decades this is a first class, experienced acoustic duo that love to entertain. Their performance is vocally and rhythmically superb featuring the talents of lead singer/guitarist Gavin Munn and bass player/singer Gavin Courtie who’s musicianship and vocal harmony really sets this duo apart.

‘Live Lounge’ music is now very popular particularly for wedding receptions where couples want to create a laid back atmosphere as a backdrop to the drinks reception or meal. The duo also works well for parties where a traditional 4pc band might be too overpowering or where space is limited. The band also plays for corporate events where clients want something more dynamic than a jazz trio of string quartet but can still talk over the music.

Collectively & individually Clients include: Vodafone, Pepsi, GSK, Carphone Warehouse, Selfridges & Co, New Look etc.

Venues include:
Wembley Stadium, The Royal Sands Hotel-Mexico, Pullman Bunker Bay Resort-Australia, Grosvenor House Hotel-London, The Hilton Park lane-London,

(They) were just amazing on the day. They showed up on time, set up quickly and played two amazing sets for our garden party / wedding celebration. They played a good mix of songs and everyone was impressed with their musicianship. Gavin has a great voice and they are very accomplished players. Some songs were so good it could almost have been the original band playing. I had many positive comments from our guests. Would definitely book them again.
