OLD SKOOL DUO
OLD SKOOL DUO are based in Essex and are a smaller acoustic version of the main 6-piece band, OLD SKOOL. Tracy is the lead singer of this wedding & party band. Teaming up with the band's guitarist, this duo is perfect as a stand-alone act or can be booked to provide daytime entertainment for wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions or the wedding breakfast before the full band plays in the evening.
This acoustic duo is known for being fun & upbeat, & are able to provide a party atmosphere that often has people up dancing! However, they can also provide a chilled, relaxed vibe for garden parties & afternoon drinks, with song choices that will create the perfect ambience for your event.
Just like the main band, OLD SKOOL DUO specialise in playing the best Motown, Soul, Disco & Pop songs from the 1960s up to the present day. They also offer the opportunity for you to add additional band members & often go out as an acoustic trio with a drummer for events that require a livelier and louder acoustic sound!
These Colchester based musicians have a vast amount of experience performing at weddings, private events and corporate events so you can be sure of the highest quality live music and a high level of professionalism when you book them.

Reviews
"We booked Old Skool Duo for our wedding day to perform outside whilst people had drinks and photos, everything was perfect. Setting up was seamless, we barely noticed them arrive and set up, they were all self contained, the music was amazing and Tracy even learnt a few specific songs that are special to us! The atmosphere they created was amazing and we would recommend them to everyone!"

"We had the Old Skool Trio for our wedding on Saturday and they were fantastic! Had people on the dance floor all night - we did not want the night to end! Tracy made the communication and planning really easy and the band prepared our requests. Would highly recommend the band!"

"Thank you for helping to make my 40th Birthday Celebrations so amazing. Communications from initial enquiry until the day were fantastic. You both made the evening so enjoyable and had us all up dancing & singing along. I can't wait to come along to more of your gigs with friends soon. Keep doing what you are doing as you are AMAZING!"
Julie, Private Party
"We had Old Skool for our wedding, we booked the three piece band with the singer, acoustic guitarist and drummer which was the absolutely perfect size for our venue. The band filled the room with music at just the right level. The band was amazing we gave them some songs to for the mood and they built a brilliant set around it, everyone danced the night away. The band were so easy to work with and we got such lovely feedback from all our guests, the band fit the mood and vibe we was looking for perfectly, Tracy has such a good singing voice. I'd definitely book them for any future events we have and highly recommend them, we will be keeping our eyes out for any of their gigs around so we can hopefully see them again.
Thank you Old Skool for making our wedding day that bit more special with your amazing performance."
Thomas, Wedding
