Candide’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.
What we say:
A charismatic and charming duo who are true professionals, with a versatile repertoire allowing them to provide a more sophisticated performance, in addition to their fun-party material.
A typical performance is for up to 2 hours of music
Line up & Options:

"Thank you, to the fine musicians
of Candide. 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
"Candide 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.
"Candide 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 Candide'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 - Candide are real musicians who can really play!"
