The Upbeats Duo
The UK's best live party duo.
The Upbeats Music Duo are a high quality party band currently working aboard the Cunard Queen Anne Cruise ship, and also available for private booking.
Who we are
The number one party duo for hire in the UK.
If you want a big party band sound from a fantastic duo, The Upbeats are everything you could have hoped for. Looking for a smaller band for a party? You can be sure The Upbeats Duo are always a hit at any event, with thousands of parties, weddings and cruises under our belts.
We play classic, upbeat hits from current artists all the way back to the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and Noughties — Pop, Funk, Rock, Soul and more. With over 719 songs in our repertoire, The Upbeats are sure to keep your guests happy and get them dancing.
We've been gigging professionally for over a decade and have performed literally thousands of shows. We're currently working aboard ships, but whilst we're back in the UK we're based in the North West of England or London — and we travel everywhere for gigs. Recent clients include Reading FC, Seabourn, Norwegian Cruise Lines, P&O Cruises, Ponant and Windstar.

Recent reviews.
This was honestly the highlight of our event, and we are absolutely glad we went with The Upbeats Duo, from start to finish the communication was fantastic, no ask was too much, really flexible and willing to work with us and our timings and last but definitely not the least the entire setup and the music was phenomenal, these are two very very talented individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to make your event unforgettable. I highly recommend and encourage you to book with them
The Upbeats Duo (Rachel and Peter) were incredible from the beginning to the end! Their communication was amazing and they are so friendly. They had everyone up dancing the whole night, they are brilliant performers and everyone was so impressed. Really added to my party what I wanted and lots of guests have asked for their details too! Thank you so much!
Rachel and Peter were the ultimate professionals. A last minute booking from us they couldn’t have been more accommodating, and despite pretty rubbish weather they played with enthusiasm throughout. We’ll certainly book them again.
Rachel and Peter are an absolutely delightful couple, immensely talented with various instruments and singing. The dance floor was hopping from the get-go until we had to finish.
Communication throughout the booking process was first class, and they added a couple of my wife’s favourites into the set. If you booked them for an event I can’t see how you would be disappointed.
Let's get your dancefloor moving.
