Act profile

Unplugged are a professional acoustic covers duo with many years of experience on the pub, club and function circuit in Bristol, Bath, the South West and further afield.

The duo are impressing audiences across the country with their unique take on rock and pop classics such as The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m In Love’ or Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit In The Sky'. Their quality acoustic set also takes in 80’s pop-rock like Michael Jackson’s ‘Leave Me Alone’ and Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’, as well recent alt-rock hits like The Killer’s ‘Human’, complemented by selections of a more laid-back vibe including faithful renditions of Beatles and Beach Boys standards.

Such a large and varied repertoire of popular songs, delivered with skilled guitar interplay and augmented by frontman Alfie natural charisma and instinct to entertain, make the duo's twin acoustic guitar sound and vocal harmonies ideal live music for a wedding or birthday party, equally suited to a two hour party performance or an intimate after dinner session.

The duo is made up of Alfie, a singer/songwriter with airplay on radio 2, and Chris, a talented young musician who recently released his first EP on the back of a well received performance at the nationally famous Bristol Harbour Festival.

Whatever the reason for hiring a live band you can count on the versatility of the duo's sound and on their professionalism. The duo provide their own quality P.A. system, engineering and lighting rig, as well as a comprehensive and tailored DJ service playing a mix of classic songs from over the decades through to the present day.

Superb!!

Unplugged played a live acoustic set and provided a DJ service at our wedding on August 21st, 2010. They were extremely professional both in the lead up the day and on the day itself - despite having to work with us remotely in Dubai via email to organise things and then enduring some pretty horrendous weather during set up on the day.

Unplugged made the effort to find out what kind of music we liked and did a great job both playing a live set (their version of The Killers - Mr. Brightside, learned specially for our first dance, was fantastic) and providing an excellent mix of tunes later on in the DJ set.

Unplugged were professional, prompt and personable throughout and I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a talented musicians for an event.

Many thanks for helping make our Big Day so special.

"When Alfie and Chris turn up, you know you're going to have a good night. The simplicity of their arrangement, the skill of delivery, the choice of material and the quality of their sound leave most other acoustic duos in the dirt. You can't beat a bit of Bristol stage-banter either!"

"Unplugged are a fantastic acoustic act. Our Cricket Club booked them for a Dinner & Dance & the guys did a brilliant acoustic set - lots of well known covers, older ones for the wrinklys & plenty of new stuff for the kids. Followed that with a DJ session as we danced the night away. Looking forward to seeing the duo again very soon."
