The Double Malt Duo play music to suit a variety of tastes. They lend their distinctive sound to many genres including pop, rock, country, soul, folk, and the odd jazz standard. A typical (but seldom ordinary) evening encompasses covers from classic artists, such as the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Eva Cassidy, Cat Stevens, the Eagles, Carole King, and Bob Marley. A more mellow evening might include hits from Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Ed Sheeran, and Nina Simone, followed by a light saxophone or piano instrumental. With a repertoire of several hundred songs, Double Malt is sure to delight even the most discerning music lover.

High quality backing tracks for high energy performances
Electric guitar and Saxophone

For a livelier atmosphere, the Double Malt Duo brings the party! With the simple switch from acoustic to electric guitar and the addition of high-quality custom backing tracks, they are sure to get people on their feet! They have sets of 80s floor-fillers, including songs by Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan, and George Michael. If a bit of classic rock and roll is more fitting for your event, they also have hits from artists such as Elvis, Chubby Checker, Frankie Valli, and Chuck Berry. They are also up to date on current chart-toppers for a more modern crowd. Just ask! The Double Malt Duo is happy to tailor their sets to suit any event, whatever the vibe may be!

About Us

Double Malt first came together while Scott and Kathleen were touring together in a circus orchestra – Kathleen playing saxophone and singing, Scott playing guitar and trombone. Discovering a common love of acoustic pop and folk music, they began sharing their favourite songs and harmonising vocals, sketching out arrangements that became the backbone of their style today. With the addition of the latest pop covers and some old favourites the duo blossomed into an entertainment experience too good to be confined to a circus caravan and Double Malt was born!

With Kathleen’s experience of entertaining both the corporate function world and the livelier crowds in the pubs and clubs of the UK and Asia, and Scott’s experience of entertaining the crowds on board cruise ships with HAL and Princess Cruises, you can be sure that your entertainment needs are in safe hands. Their attention to detail and professionalism is as you would expect from two graduates of highly acclaimed music schools in the UK, and their slick presentation married with a natural charm helps them warm up an evening in any setting.
