Profile
 
Candid’s energetic mix of latin, soul, pop and rock covers, is generated to get party-goers of all ages up on the dance floor, whilst their popular lounge numbers and well remembered ballads create a more mellow atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate gathering or a big event, you can leave it to Candid to make sure your party’s a really special occasion, leaving you to concentrate on enjoying yourself.

They have performed at private functions all over the London and the UK, at a wide variety of venues including; The London Hilton Metropole, for Richard Branson at the Virgin Cosmetics dinner; The Drury Lane Theatre; The Royal Society of Art; The London Business School; Madame Tussauds; the opening night of Annie (the musical); Eltham Palace; The Institute of Contemporary Art; Harvey Nichols 5th Floor; Oxford University; Hurlingham Club and The Twickenham Festival, to name just a few.

Candid’s repertoire ranges from James Bond to James Brown and includes tracks from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and beyond, so there really is something for everyone. If you want to start the dancing off with a favourite song, they can usually learn it especially for you. As well as performing live, they’ll play pre-recorded music between sets, so you can either supply your own tapes / CDs / MDs, or choose from their collection. They can also provide stage lighting.

"Candid were superb - they really knew how to make the best of the limited space we had. The music was top quality and a fun and colourful mix - not the usual wedding cheese! They managed to get EVERYONE dancing - during their rest periods they played various tracks and clearly a lot of thought also went into these selections. Thanks for making our wedding go with a bang! David & Helen.

General feedback: Efficient and friendly, not at all pushy and very professional - even had a call before the wedding to make sure all was in order and that there were no last minute issues. Thanks"
David Walls

"Thank you, to the fine musicians of Candid. Your fantastic contribution helped to make what all agree was one of the best ever, our first dance - to your last song, just made the reception and we’ll always be grateful for the effort and skill you put in. Vive La Difference!"
Nick & Jen Davies

"Great guys, excellent music, absolutely delighted with them. Party was a huge success mainly due to their presence."
Steve Wallace

"Candid gave an excellant performance on our wedding day, we could not have asked for more. A number of people have asked for their details so hopefully they will get a few more bookings from this."
Adrian Heath, wedding.

"Candid were truly the perfect choice for our wedding reception. With 60 guests, we didn't want to be "overwhelmed" by a large group and the two guys ensured that the evening was intimate, yet vibrant. Many of the guests have since contacted me to say how much they particularly enjoyed Candid's performance and their expertise in judging the mood and their catalogue is varied and extensive. Best of all though is undoutably the music itself - Candid are real musicians who can really play!"
