Acoustic Coverband Gold Collective Acoustic Coverband with female vocalist-guitarist, bass and percussion.

Gold Collective’s basic technical requirements are simple and designed to fit most venues.

Performance space: Ideally around 3 m x 2 m for the acoustic trio (a little more is always welcome). If you add the singer–keyboardist, plan for about 4 m x 2.5 m.

Power: One standard 230V power socket within reasonable distance of the setup area is usually sufficient. If the venue is large or the setup is spread out, a second socket is helpful.

Sound system: We bring our own professional sound equipment for audiences up to 100 people, including 1microphone for speech.

Volume: We can play at comfortable background level and build up to a party-friendly level, while staying appropriate for venues with sound limits.

Load-in / access: Easy access to the performance area is preferred (lift or minimal stairs if possible).

Parking: One parking space close to the entrance for unloading is ideal.

Weather (outdoor events): For outdoor performances we need a dry, stable, covered area (rain/wind prot

For a smooth setup and the best sound, we typically ask for the following venue information:

Exact load-in point: Where we should park/unload, which entrance to use, and whether there are stairs, a lift, narrow corridors, or other access limitations.

Performance location: Where you want the band positioned (same room as guests or separate area) and approximately how much space is available.

Power details: Where the nearest power socket is, whether it’s on the same circuit as catering/lighting, and if extension cables are needed.

Sound restrictions: Whether the venue has a sound limiter, strict decibel limits, or fixed “quiet moments” (speeches, neighbors, curfew).

Timing & schedule: Set times, meal/speech moments, and any hard stop times so we can plan the musical flow (background to party).

Outdoor specifics (if applicable): Confirmation of a covered, weatherproof area, stable flooring, and safe power access.

On-site contact: Name/role of the person who can meet us on arrival a

We provide sound for 100 people. 1 Bose speaker for background, 2 for more party/more people if needed.

We provide a Spotify playlist, or you send your own ;-).

Yes. We bring professional sound equipment and microphones suitable for events up to around 150 guests. This keeps the setup efficient and ensures consistent sound quality in different venues.

Wedding or event in a castle!

Gold Collective started as a collaboration between seasoned live musicians who shared the same goal: bringing well-known hits to events in a warm, stylish acoustic sound that feels premium and personal.

From the first rehearsals it was clear the combination worked: strong lead vocals and guitar up front, a deep groove from double bass, and lively percussion that can stay subtle for receptions or drive the energy when it’s time to celebrate. That flexible “background-to-party” approach quickly made the band a natural fit for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations.

Over the years we’ve built extensive experience performing at all kinds of venues and settings, from intimate receptions and dinners to packed party rooms, always with the same focus: professional musicianship, reliable delivery, and a sound level that matches the room.

We’re influenced most by artists with timeless songwriting, strong grooves, and songs that still work in any room, whether you’re listening during dinner or dancing later. You can hear that in our setlist choices, which move smoothly between pop, soul, funk and feel-good classics.

Setlist artists that inspire our sound include:

Sting / Eva Cassidy (for warm acoustic storytelling like Fields of Gold)

Norah Jones (Don’t Know Why)

Maroon 5 (Sunday Morning)

Amy Winehouse (Valerie)

Meghan Trainor (All About That Bass)

Britney Spears (…Baby One More Time / Hit Me Baby)

Tina Turner (What’s Love Got to Do With It)

Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire)

Eagles (Hotel California)

Ed Sheeran (Perfect, Thinking Out Loud)

Shawn Mendes (Señorita)

Jason Mraz (I’m Yours)

Favourite artist (as a band): If we have to pick one “always inspiring” name for groove, musicality and feel, it’s Stevie Wonder.

Greatest song of all time: We’d go for “Valerie” (Amy Winehouse) because it’s instantly recognizable,

Our repertoire is intentionally built around the biggest pop songs from across the decades, so there’s always something familiar for everyone in the room. We mix classics and modern hits in an acoustic style that feels warm and premium. Whether guests want to chat, sing along, or dance later in the evening, we shape the set to the crowd, and the result is usually the same: people recognise the songs, relax into the atmosphere, and the room lights up.

We combine a warm acoustic sound with real groove: vocals and guitar up front, supported by double bass and percussion. That means we can stay elegant as background music, then smoothly build into a more upbeat party feel without changing the setup.

Our standard lineup is an acoustic trio: female singer-guitarist, double bass, and percussion. If you want a fuller sound and extra vocal power, the trio can be expanded with a singer-keyboardist.

Yes. We’re used to venues where guests still want to talk comfortably. We balance the mix and energy to the room, and we can keep things subtle during dinner and raise the intensity later without becoming overwhelming. We can play like 80Db for locations with sound limits.

3 x 30 minutes (nice spread across an afternoon or early evening)

We can also adapt the timing to your schedule (speeches, dinner service, ceremony moments), and we’re happy to play shorter or longer where it makes sense.

Yes, we can perform outside, as long as the setup is protected and safe:

Full cover/shade (no direct sun on instruments/gear)

Flat, stable surface

If the weather is uncertain, we always appreciate a clear indoor backup option.

Clients absolutely have a say. Most events work best when we tailor the vibe to the moment:

You can choose your favourites from our repertoire, or give us a direction (more relaxed / more upbeat / more classics / more modern).

We can usually prepare a few specific requests in advance if they fit our acoustic style (especially for key moments).

During the event we read the room and adjust the set flow live, so it stays fitting for the atmosphere and guest energy.

Clients most often describe Gold Collective as:

Professional and reliable (smooth setup, clear communication, consistent quality)

Warm and stylish (perfect for receptions and dinners without overpowering the room)

Groovy acoustic sound (the double bass and percussion give it real drive)

Flexible in vibe (from classy background music to a lively party moment)

A setlist full of recognisable songs that work for mixed-age audiences

We play well-known hits across decades in an acoustic style, with a mix that suits the moment. Expect familiar songs from artists like Amy Winehouse, Sting/Eva Cassidy, Norah Jones, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, Tina Turner, and more.
