Band Bio
Welcome to the premium all-acoustic incarnation of Captain Obvious, Acoustic Captain! Still waltzing into any event, you will marvel at their finely polished acoustic live show. Brimming with carefully crafted medleys of the worlds most popular tunes they are one of the finest acoustic bands for hire UK wide. If the Hippodrome and Heathrow Airport cant stop booking them I'm sure you'd agree that they will deliver at your event be it a wedding, party or corporate function.
Highly accomplished in their musical careers, their video speaks volumes demonstrating one of the hottest live acoustic bands in London right now. They have been there and conquered and on any given busy London night, you can see them at top venues performing their roaming, high energy acoustic sets.
Just as in Captain Obvious, they have multiple band line up options so any event and any venue can be catered for. Outdoor, indoor it's all in days work for Acoustic Captain. A real benefit to an acoustic band such as Acoustic Captain is the minimal amount of equipment they bring to any show. They can set up and pack down in an instant and roam freely entertaining guests anywhere, any time. However, if you do have a larger venue they can provide professional PA and lighting systems to spread their infectious acoustic show to all corners.
Just as in Captain Obvious, they also have the ability to DJ between acoustic sets keeping the party going and can accept first dance and general song requests too. With no shortcuts taken with their repertoire, they constantly expand it, mirroring current trends in music. If you want it, they can probably play it and no doubt they will create a unique medley from it just for you!
So, with all the benefits of Captain Obvious but with a new acoustic twist, Acoustic Captain are a premium London act that will add authentic, up-close musical entertainment to your event. If you're needing that unique acoustic touch, you can’t go wrong by booking these guys.
Please note: Due to availability or illness, deputy musicians of very a high professional standard may sometimes be used.
Prices shown are based on the standard 4 piece option but please ask about all their other booking options and line ups. If booked in conjunction with Captain Obvious, discounts are available.

You guys were absolutely amazing and made the wedding the fantastic day that it was! We are such a live music bunch and you really were the cherry on the cake! You made the set really personalised and catered for all music tastes! Everyone has commented on how brilliant you guys were and my 93 year old grandfather is still saying how brilliant you were and I have had to find him your website to play a few more of your tracks! Thanks again for all you hard work and for making the day extra special. "

More April 2019"Acoustic Captain were amazing, they were so professional right from first contact, their music was beyond any of our expectations! We had so many compliments on the band and still have 3 months on from the wedding. They really got everyone on our dance floor and it was packed the whole night. They also played and sung our first dance song which was one of my most important things when I picked a band but it really was truly amazing. I would recommend Acoustic Captain to anyone wanting a band for any occasion! "

More August 2018"The guys were in regular contact with us before our wedding day. They were happy for us to choose the musical direction we wanted but also offered helpful advice, suggestions and guidance when we wanted it. They arrived promptly (we were running late!) and went over and above in order to get set up quickly to ensure we had the maximum amount of time with them. They checked in with us throughout to ensure we were happy. We had so many compliments about them! Best wedding decision we made! "

More August 2018"My wife and I researched a number of bands for our wedding and we kept coming back to Acoustic Captain. We’re so glad we decided to choose this band because they truly made our wedding reception fun and enjoyable. The dance floor was packed with our guests who have all said how good they are. We both highly recommended them. Just be prepared to have sore feet in the morning! "

More July 2018"Can’t recommend these guys highly enough. They are totally brilliant and get guests going. After using them twice for after-show parties which people constantly rave about, it was a no-brainer to have them for our huge family bash, and they had 300 people dancing the night away, with a set list that reflected us. They absolutely made the night. "

More August 2017"Well what can we say? A truly amazing acoustic band who really got involved and got the crowd going. Our guests and ourselves loved every second and the dance floor was alive all night. The band learnt and played ‘our’ song for our first dance and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend! "

More July 2017"Great set that really got the dancefloor going. Loads of our guests came up to us and told us how good they thought the band was. The communication with them and Seventh Second was also really good in the lead up to the event and they made sure to come find me to confirm what we wanted etc. I would definitely recommend them! "
