During wedding drinks, Loco Love and the Furry Cardigan can bring a retro songbook into an easy duo setting. Their Nouveau Retro style reshapes music from the fifties, sixties and seventies through multiple instruments, strong lead vocals and harmonies. The repertoire moves between gentle ballads, quirky songs, singalongs and groove led dance numbers, with the duo reading the moment as it changes. They can learn a request, write a personalised comedy or parody song, provide DJ music and take on professional MC duties. A characterful choice for couples who want familiar decades delivered with humour and an original retro personality.

Good to know
On the day
Give them roughly an hour before the start to get set up, and about 40 minutes at the end to pack down. If your venue has a PA, they'll use it. If it hasn't, they'll bring their own, and when they do they can put a microphone aside for anyone giving a speech. Mains power covers the normal situation. For a remote spot with nothing to plug into, tell them in advance and they'll bring a battery powered system instead.
Performance options
They'll talk it through with you and put the pieces together to suit the day, and the list of pieces is longer than most duos offer. Live music is the centre of it. Around that they can supply the PA, run recorded music through the breaks, learn a song you've asked for, and handle MC duties for the whole event. The unusual one is written-to-order material: parody and comedy songs are a specialty, so a song about the couple or the retiring boss is genuinely on the table.
