Artist Biography

We are a duo comprising singer Laura-Jayne Hunter and guitarist/singer Dave Carter. Based in Manchester we have performed at hundreds of weddings as well as public gigs and parties throughout the North West UK since getting together in 2010. We're a great choice of live music for Wedding Breakfasts, Drinks Receptions, Parties, Wedding Services, Restaurants and Bars that require live acoustic music.

Set Lengths
We're flexible but normally perform:
2 x 60 minutes or
3 x 40 minutes or
2 x 45 minutes or
1 x 90 minutes

DJ Service Add On
If you want to dance to louder music for the rest of the evening we can provide all the recorded music you'll need with a DJ service, disco, lighting and your own microphone for speeches and announcements. We'll build your ideal playlists in advance and bring thousands of hits to satisfy your guests’ requests on the day.

Party Duo
We can also perform classic dance hits at higher volume with live vocals and electric guitar accompanied by self produced backing tracks. We will bring a more powerful PA and disco lighting if this option is required. Some of our customers like us to start softly with the acoustic duo and switch to the sound of a full band when their guests are in the mood for dancing!

Wedding First Dance or Special Requests
Let us know if you would like us to perform a song that isn't in LeLounge's current repertoire. This could be your first dance, or a special song for the occasion.

Public Liability and Emergency Cover
We have Public Liability Insurance of up to £10million, Our electrical equipment is PAT tested each year. For peace of mind we have deputy musicians to cover for emergencies.

Planning, Clothing, Playing
As experienced professional wedding and function musicians we will always dress smartly when performing. Performance times can be adjusted to fit in with auctions, buffets, raffle results or speeches and arrival and set up times can usually be arranged to minimise disruption to guests. Set up time is normally twenty minutes, and we require an area of around 2m x 2m.

Dave and Laura, thank you so much for a fantastic night on Saturday. Everyone loved it, as I knew they would. Look forward to finding another event to book with you!

We have been so lucky to have Laura-Jayne every month as one of our featured artists. She has developed quite a following. Laura has a fabulous voice, is passionate about her music and has a personality that gets the audience eating out of her hand
(John Leutton, Oddfellows, Mellor)

Just got back from honeymoon and wanted to say a big thank you to all. Everyone at the wedding has commented on how fantastic you were.
Will highly recommend you, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you especially the duo during food. Excellent!!!!!
(Laura - Wedding)

Hi guys, just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic music you played at our wedding reception on Saturday. We had a brilliant night and loved the first dance song - The One. You did a great job.

Individual Bios:
Laura-Jayne Hunter (Lead Vocals):
Laura-Jayne trained in voice and performing arts at Manchester's Capitol Theatre before fronting indie-pop outfit Mia and covers band The Sun Band. Over the last few years she has been inundated with demand for her solo act 'Indie Lounge', comprising alternative chilled down versions of popular songs of all genres and is also lead vocalist with wedding and function band LeFunk! Her versatile vocals have led to many varied bookings throughout her career at venues including Band on the Wall, the Free Trade Hall and Manchester's Comedy Store (as a singer, not comedian!), along with countless function rooms at wedding venues up and down the country. Laura is also a vocal coach.
