That's Entertainment is a professional acoustic act with many years of experience on the wedding, corporate function and party circuit in Bristol, Bath, and across the Southwest. The duo are impressing audiences across the country with their unique take on rock and pop classics such as The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m In Love’ or Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit In The Sky'. Their quality acoustic set also takes in 80’s pop-rock like Michael Jackson’s ‘Leave Me Alone’ and Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’, as well recent indie hits like The Killer’s ‘Human’, complemented by selections of a more laid-back vibe including faithful renditions of Beatles and Beach Boys standards.
Such a large and varied repertoire of popular songs, delivered with skilled guitar interplay and augmented by frontman Alfie's natural charisma and instinct to entertain, make the duo's twin acoustic guitar sound and vocal harmonies ideal live music for a wedding or birthday party, equally suited to a two hour party performance or an intimate after dinner session.
The acoustic duo is made up of Alfie, a singer/songwriter with airplay on Radio 2, and Chris, a talented young musician who recently released his first EP on the back of a well received performance at the nationally famous Bristol Harbour Festival. Whatever the reason for hiring a live band you can count on the versatility of the duo's sound and on their professionalism. The duo provides their own quality PA system, engineering and lighting rig, as well as a comprehensive and tailored DJ service playing a mix of classic songs from over the decades through to the present day.
The duo can offer great entertainment for all sorts of occasions with a great upbeat sound. For lovers of a stripped-down small-band feel, the duo fit brilliantly into any event.

Dave Chapman, Birthday Party Event, Derbyshire
Just like to say the guys were superb on the night, arrived early and were ready to go with time to spare. Also very flexible in the way their spots were performed. Very pleased and thank you.
Nicola Hitt, Birthday Party Event, Middlesex
They were brilliant!!! They turned up in plenty of time to set-up. They responded to the needs of the party, song requests, timings etc. They were also brave enough to let us use their equipment and murder a few songs. They were very flexible, accommodating and most importantly excellent musicians - would highly recommend them. The layout of the venue meant everyone was very spread out but even though the band were at the back, you could hear them perfectly at the front of the bar.
Andy Shrubsole, Birthday Party Event, Warwickshire
Alfie and the Guys were spot on and went down really well. It was ideal choice for the venue and a crowd of 30-40 somethings. We had a good time and I would recommend the band to anyone. Thanks guys!
Fiona Gaylor, Corporate Event, Kent
Band were flexible and responsive to our requests, changing the set lists and structure of their performances to suit our needs on the night. They played a good mix of music, catering to the audience ensuring the dancefloor was filled. Good communication before event made it easy to arrange details, which were dealt with professionally. Definitely worth the money. Will keep them in mind for future events.
Rebecca Walford, Smith & Williamson Limited, Corporate Event, Bristol
It was a great set, very well played, which suited the event perfectly. The duo were professional and well turned out. Loads of our guests commented on how good they were. I’d definitely book them for this sort of corporate event again.
Tim White, Wedding, Hemel Hempstead
Everyone loved the music and thought it was a really good mix of songs. We thought your bits of chat between songs were good fun too. It's not often my parents jump up and dance but they couldn't get enough of it. We both really enjoyed your performance.
Hugh Jones, Private Party, Shropshire
I have received so many great comments about the party. Everything went well, the venue, the food & especially the music, even my very trendy sons thought you did a fantastic job. I couldnt believe it when you said it was 12:30, the evening went so quickly.
Katie and Phil Green, Wedding, Wiltshire
Phil and I wanted to thank you for the fantastic performance at our wedding at the Larmer Tree Gardens. You were extremely pleasant to deal with and instantly on speaking to you about the booking I felt really pleased about our decision to book your duo. I really hope you both enjoyed playing on the stage, we had so many comments from guests who loved your set; It was perfect for what we imagined. Thank you again for making our day so special, be both really enjoy our music and love live music so it was such an important thing to find a band who could make the most of the venue. You really did, so thank you.
Marks & Spencer, Corporate Event, Bath
The duo were very professional and arrived punctually and smartly dressed. It was a great day for the store and the duo played for twelve hours over two days, receiving many compliments from our customers. I would certainly recommend them as a talented professional set-up who can adapt their set and style to play anywhere.
Aston and Fincher, Mini-festival, Gloucestershire
A brilliant choice of band to have at our mini festival, the quality of music, the entertainment value and professionalism all came through. All our guests enjoyed the music and we would definitely use them again!
Emma Coffield, Private Party, Wiltshire
The duo were excellent. They provided fantastic live music and were then very happy to provide a disco later on in the evening. They were really good at providing the correct atmosphere and we have had some really good feedback. I would definately recommend them.
Old Down Cricket Club, Dinner and Dance, Thornbury
A fantastic acoustic act. Our Cricket Club booked them for a Dinner & Dance & the guys did a brilliant acoustic set - lots of well known covers, older ones for the wrinklys & plenty of new stuff for the kids. Followed that with a DJ session as we danced the night away. Looking forward to seeing the duo again very soon.
