80th Birthday Party
Euro Café Duo were invited to entertain guests at my 80th birthday event held at the beautiful Rockport Barn venue at Rockport, Ontario on June 8, 2024. I had asked for a blend of nostalgic easy-listening and European/Parisian music as social-background and then more watchable treatments. Andrea and Edward delightfully exceeded my expectation. Our mixed age gathering thoroughly enjoyed the music and the duo’s showmanship. My wife and I loved dancing to some of our requests such as, La Vie en rose and As Time Goes By. Thank you, Andrea and Ted, for adding such a magical touch to my special day.

Wedding Cocktail Hour
I invited Ted to play “Italian Bistro/ French Café” music during the cocktail hour of our wedding. His playing made the atmosphere very magical and jovial. It was exactly what I was hoping for and would recommend him highly. His playing and set list really added to the party without his sound overpowering. He was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. Five stars! C. dS. Kingston 2023
Parisienne Café Ambiance
As we hosted a concert in January 2023, with a special tribute to the famous 1950s French singer Edith Piaf, we wanted to recreate a unique 1950s Parisian café atmosphere in the hall and we called upon Euro Café Duo to animate this one-time café. Our audience was delighted by their music, and we spent a wonderful evening to which they greatly contributed. We thank them for both their talent and professionalism and wish them every success.

Beautiful Music
My wife and I played tourists in Kingston today and dinned and shopped at some of our favourite spots and also discovered some new ones. While enjoying our gelato by the Kingston tourism building, we had the pleasure of listening to Euro Café Duo perform. Let me tell you that I wish I could stay there all day long and listen to Ted and Andrea play... they are magnificent and extremely talented musicians. If you have an upcoming event, reach out to them and let your senses be marinated by their beautiful music!! S.T.– Kingston 2022
A musical duo that brings the romance of Europe to you!
Euro Cafe Duo play every second Monday at our venue, and we could not feel happier to host them! You can always be sure to be swept away by the lovely vocal melodies of Andrea Leyton, while Ted Leyton provides a smooth and fun accordion to truly transform any room you're in into a dreamy cafe in France or Italy. Be sure to go and see them!! Musiikki Café Kingston 2019
Perfectly blended talents!
I love Euro Cafe Duo. A Husband and wife team that blend their talents together perfectly. A virtual accordion with beautiful sounds accompanying a beautiful female vocalist with a wonderful soothing voice! A terrific group that can bring happiness to any venue. Andrea’s jazzy singing style and Ted’s café era accompaniment are a perfect match. J.W. – Kingston 2019
