Dark Horse
Duo · Based in Adelaide
About this act
Dark Horse are an Adelaide acoustic duo who play covers, and they play a lot of them. The song list runs wide: classical guitar pieces for a ceremony, cool jazz and soul for the drinks hour, then disco, rock and roll and current pop once the floor opens up. Weddings are where they do their best work, mostly because they can carry the whole day without handing over to a playlist between courses. They also take pub nights, corporate bookings and parties at home. Ask them for the setlist before you book. Half the value in a duo like this is how they order the night, not just what they know.
