About Ocean Beat

Ocean Beat are an acoustic duo who offer classy, chilled, versions of modern popular music and ballads which is great background music for dinner and drinks receptions. They also offer upbeat and fun covers which is more suited to private garden parties, bars, or smaller parties.

This option can upgrade to a trio with a cajon player to create a band vibe! They can provide a combination of both options if it's required for your event.

The guys in Ocean Beat are experienced professionals that have played at amazing venues such as  Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace, The Natural History Museum, St Pancras Renaissance Hotel and The Royal Horseguards Hotel.

Their past clients include Film 4, 02, American Express and Getty Images. With a resume such as this, it's no question that the duo's brilliant show has been developed based on the valuable experience.

The pair will perform at weddings, parties, corporate events, and any other event that you may find yourself looking for some live entertainment for. You can check their availability and receive a free quote from us at Evenses!

They are brilliant! They were versatile, talented, really tight and accurate with their playing and the lead singer was spot on and worked the crowd like a true professional.
Ryan Blackwell
You guys were awesome! Thank you so much for being so flexible. Hopefully I’ll see you again as I’ve recommended you ;)
Pierre Dowsett
They were fantastic! I was down the end of the garden and saw a whole row of neighbours watching from the windows, singing and recording with their phones. Would definitely recommend.
Claire
Booking Ocean Beat through Evenses was a breeze. Their soulful tunes and vibrant energy made our wedding reception unforgettable.

FAQs

What kind of music does a pop duo play?

A pop duo can play different types of pop music, depending on their own musical style and preferences. A pop duo's repertoire can range from up-tempo dance numbers to ballads and everything in between. Often pop duos have a wide range of songs to choose from so they can meet the audience's preferences.

Does the music need technology?

This depends on the needs of the music duo and the type of event. Music duos often have their own equipment, but it is always good to inquire whether you need to make provisions for the duo.

What is a cover band?

A cover band is a music group that plays well-known songs originally recorded by other artists. Unlike original bands, which create and perform their own music, a cover band focuses on playing well-known music from different genres and eras. The goal of a cover band is to entertain the audience and let them enjoy well-known music by accurately playing these songs and sometimes also enhancing them with their own interpretations.

Cover bands can be hired for various types of events, including parties, festivals, corporate functions, weddings and other special occasions.

What songs do live bands play at weddings?

The bands have a repertoire of songs from which they play. They are often open to suggestions and request numbers. It is a good idea to indicate this well in advance of booking. On the evening itself, requested songs can be detrimental to the construction of the set and therefore the enjoyment of the guests. If a requested song is not in the repertoire, several bands are willing to rehearse 1 or 2 songs.

How long does a live band play?

A standard performance consists of 3 sets of 45 minutes. This is spread over a period of 3 – 3.5 hours. Shorter performances are also possible. The maximum playing time of most live bands is 4 sets of 40 minutes. This can be spread over a period of 4 to 5 hours.

Does the music duo need technology?

This depends on the needs of the music duo and the type of event. Music duos often have their own equipment, but it is always good to inquire whether you need to make provisions for the duo.

What happens during bands breaks?

During the breaks, the band provides atmospheric music which they play over their sound system. The music is of course in line with the music played during the performance. Some bands come with a DJ, who will then provide the music. Of course you can also book a DJ for the breaks with all live bands.

How far in advance are bands ready?

The live band is ready to start 30 minutes prior to the performance. This means that everything has been built up and sound checked. It is also possible to agree that the live band will be ready to start earlier in advance. The band members will of course spend more time on the assignment, which is why they will charge a fee for this waiting time.

How long does it take to build the cover band?

The formation of bands takes approximately 45 minutes for 3 to 4 piece bands. For larger bands this takes 1 to 1.5 hours. We always adjust the amount of equipment to the group size. If the group is very large (more than 175 people), the setup time will also be longer.
