Strolling between the tables and playing close to the guests: that's what sets Upside Down from Doetinchem apart. The trio, with bass, guitar and vocals, plays well-known pop songs in acoustic arrangements, from Caro Emerald and Adele to Sting and James Taylor, with excursions into disco, Latin and soul. That approach creates relaxed contact with the audience. Upside Down works flexibly and is mainly booked as background music for receptions, dinners and walking dinners, although one review also describes how the band later in the evening got guests dancing who wouldn't normally be quick to do so.

“Superb”
“super”
By Anita Draaijer · De Amshoff
Upside Down turned a pleasant get-together into a super fun party, with even the most die-hard dance-hater on the dance floor.
Upside down maakte van een gezellig samenzijn een super leuk feestje met zelfs de meest ernstige danshater op de dansvloer.

“The perfect band to provide the musical backdrop for the evening”
“Perfecte band om de avond muzikaal te omlijsten”
By Jitske Volkert · Hotel Houten
Our evening consisted of several discussion rounds with a walking dinner and drinks in between. Upside Down was the perfect band to provide the background music at this event: pop/jazzy songs in the background, so the people there could catch up with each other easily.
Onze avond bestond uit een aantal discussierondes met tussendoor een 'walking dinner' en borrel. Upside Down was de perfecte band om de achtergrondmuziek tijdens dit evenement te verzorgen: pop/jazzy nummers op de achtergrond, zodat de aanwezigen goed met elkaar kunnen bijpraten.
