About The Dukes

Over the years, we've been fortunate enough to share stages with some of the biggest names in music, including Biffy Clyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mumford & Sons, and The Kaiser Chiefs. 

We play a wide range of music, from rock and pop classics to modern hits and everything in between. Our setlist spans several decades, covering everything from Chuck Berry and The Beatles to A-ha, Duran Duran, The Killers and Kings of Leon, as well as unexpected bangers from artists like Shaggy and Cyprus Hill! No matter the event, we guarantee to keep the dance floor packed with our eclectic mix of tunes, perfect for crowd-surfing the night away! .

When it comes to live performances, we offer flexibility to fit the flow of your event. Our live sets can be tailored to different lengths, whether you need 2 x 45-minute sets, 3 x 40-minute sets, or 2 x 60-minute sets. To keep the energy high between our live performances, we also provide a DJ service, complete with a huge library of songs, the option to make requests in advance, and one of us on hand to interact with guests and make announcements if required. If you book us within seven days of receiving your quote, we’ll throw in the DJ service for free, ensuring the party never stops.

Throughout our career, we’ve played at a variety of prestigious venues and for a wide range of clients. We’ve had the honour of performing for brands like Ralph Lauren, Barclays, Sainsbury's, and Visa, as well as at iconic locations like Buckingham Palace, Pinewood Film Studios, and The Natural History Museum. Our shows at universities such as Cambridge, Warwick, Newcastle, and Goldsmiths demonstrate our ability to connect with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. We’ve also brought our music to luxurious venues like The Dorchester Hotel, Claridge's, and Kenwood House, bringing the party to some of the most exclusive events in the UK.

When you book The Dukes, you’re not just hiring a band; you’re getting a full entertainment experience. We’re dedicated to making sure every event we play is memorable, from the first note to the last dance. We take pride in the quality of our sound, which is why we come fully equipped with our own high-end PA sound system and lighting. Our QSC 3000-watt PA system delivers crystal-clear sound, perfect for audiences of up to 300 people. Whether we’re playing in a small, intimate venue or a larger space, we’ve got the gear to make sure every note sounds just right.

We know that every event is unique, which is why we're always ready to tailor our appearance to suit the occasion. Whether you want us dressed formally for a wedding or more casually for a laid-back party, we'll make sure we look the part.

We’ve received incredible feedback from our clients, who consistently tell us that we exceed their expectations. Whether it’s a wedding where we keep guests on the dance floor all night or a corporate event where we set the perfect tone, we’re known for delivering performances that leave a lasting impression. We love what we do, and we’re excited to keep bringing our music to new audiences, creating unforgettable moments with every show.
