CAPTIVES ON THE CAROUSEL
WEDDINGS AND EVENTS
As well as being a gigging band playing our own material, we double up as a folk covers duo that you can book for your wedding or other event. We're remarkably good value, with prices starting from £400, plus we have our own PA so you don't need to worry at all about technical stuff. Ben doubles up on both the cello and piano to give us a little more versatility whilst Sarah sings and plays acoustic guitar. We play a mixture of songs by both classic and contemporary singer songwriters and folk musicians. We can always mix in one or two of our own songs as well if you want!
