Full Biography

Highlights
* Talented and professional acoustic duo who studied at The Academy Of Contemporary Music and the Point Blank Music School!
* Repertoire of catchy covers from well-known artists such as Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, Adele, Bruno Mars and more!
* Previous experience includes performing for Kevin Spacey's Celebrity Gala, on BBC Radio and opening for Joss Stone and The Streets!



Not every artist can count Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey amongst their fans but Athena can do just that. They were requested to perform to a star studded audience at the famous London Old Vic Theatre’s Celebrity Gala in November last year. Described by BBC Radio as “simply superb”, they have also been invited to perform live on air on the UK’s biggest radio station many times.

With a beautiful voice and repertoire of catchy covers, Athena have opened concerts for many household names such as Joss Stone’s band “Yes Sir Boss” , multi-platinum selling ‘The Streets’ vocalist Leo, & Middle Eastern sensation Yasmine Hamden.

Being a classically trained guitarist (The Academy of Contemporary Music- which boasts alunmi such as Newton Falkner and Ted Dwane from Mumford & Sons), and a vocalist trained at the Point Blank Music School alongside artists such as Leona Lewis & Alexandra Burke, Athena have the professionalism and performance skills to really shine at your event.

Brilliant for Wedding ceremony and reception

5 stars - Athena are Highly Recommended
booked Athena for their Wedding in Hertfordshire September 2023

“We chose Athena as soon as we heard Dilys’ voice on the samples. They were exactly what we wanted for playing before, during and after our ceremony. They created a perfect atmosphere to our reception and even accommodated a last minute request from the groom on the day! They were also very professional and easy to coordinate with before the day.”


Extremely talented musicians!

5 stars - Athena are Highly Recommended
booked Athena for their Wedding in Hertfordshire

“If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Polite, professional, friendly and hugely talented. We asked Athena to play during our wedding ceremony and during drinks afterwards after watching their videos on Alive Network and their version of Songbird sealed the deal! They were perfection. Professional and helpful from the first email and later phone call and texts. I lost count of how many of our guests approached us during the wedding and the next day saying how amazing they were. They created the perfect atmosphere during the ceremony and were brilliant entertainment for the guests after. They made it very special. I would ask them to play at another event in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything x”

5 stars - Athena are Highly Recommended
booked Athena for their event at Barsham Barns Holiday Cottages in Norfolk

“Athena were brilliant, as musicians Dilys has a fabulous voice and Adam is a great guitarist. Song choices were perfect. Everyone at the party raved about how good they were. We, unfortunately for them, sang along quite a lot, and the dance floor was full for the duration. I would recommend Athena to anyone who wants a talented and professional duo.”


I have no hesitation in recommending Athena to anyone.

5 stars - Athena are Highly Recommended
booked Athena for their Wedding at Aysgarth in East Sussex

“We found Athena an absolute pleasure to deal with, Dilys's voice and Adams guitar are a perfect match, their playlist was as we hoped, we had so many compliments from our guests. I wish I knew Dilys wrote her her own songs, I would have loved to had the opportunity for her to play some, maybe another time. I have no hesitation in recommending Athena to anyone, our utmost thanks. ”
