Accolade
Brought together by a love of music and a passion for guitars and harmonies, Ben and Tim of Accolade are a pair of musicians who put a unique spin on the acoustic duo. Formed over ten years ago, they play covers from the sixties to present day with an energy and passion you don't see everyday.
Their dynamic performances and fun-loving delivery lend themselves to a range of functions, from weddings and parties to corporate events and pubs. These guys love nothing more than to perform to people and share our love for great music!

Accolade
Accolade have been gigging together for over 10 years and play gigs all over the country. They are known for playing songs that you would not associate with an acoustic duo and love to surprise and entertain. They pride ourselves on our ability to cover a broad range of songs and genres with harmonies and enjoyment! Accolade performances can last up to four hours (if not longer!)and they have many years of gigging experience in high profile venues including the O2 academies in Bristol and London.
Although based in the Bath area, the duo have played gigs all over the country for private parties and corporate events. Having performed together for the past decade, Ben and Tim pride themselves in tailoring each performance to the event due to their vast (and ever-expanding!) set list. These guys eat, drink and sleep music and love to share that passion with everyone they meet and perform for. They have spent the past ten years honing our performances and you won't be able to escape Accoldae's enthusiasm!
