A relaxed acoustic afternoon can become a much livelier celebration with The Martini Henrys, whose music stretches into grunge and hip hop. Jesse Cleveland and Phil Robb perform as a duo with vocal harmonies, choosing songs by artists including Faith No More, Eminem and Soundgarden. They have sixty years of experience between them, with wedding performances among the occasions they can shape their music around. If those alternative records are part of your shared history, you might most want to hear them when the reception reaches the point where you can forget the formalities and spend time dancing.

Good to know
What to expect
Two players, sixty years of stage time between them, and a set that swerves away from the songs every other acoustic act reaches for. Alternative, grunge and hip hop are where The Martini Henrys are most at home, though the well-known classics are there when a room wants them. Expect songs you'd forgotten you loved by bands that soundtracked your twenties. They turn up on time and they read the night as it goes, so an easy afternoon session and a wedding that never sits down are both within range.
On the day
One thing to sort before the day: if you're putting them outside, there needs to be something over the performance area. A marquee, a verandah, a pergola, whatever the venue happens to have. Amplifiers and rain are a bad combination, so this one isn't negotiable.
