Best big may have been at The Melbourne Arts Centre for the Export Awards with guests such as The Australian Prime Minister and other dignitaries. That was as a Quartet. We opened with the national anthem !
I play at all types of events. Weddings are of course a very special occasion for clients and your performance can mean alot to them. Corporate events can sometimes turn into a real party !
I have performed at countless occasions as a solo act, duo, trio and so on. Sometimes going interstate to wineries and estates but more often Melbourne locations such as Butley Wooten, Eureka 88, Brighton International, Immerse, Montsalvat, The Hyatt, The MCG. Also private addresses and parks such as Flagstaff Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens and The Botanical Gardens.
I have enjoyed and been involved in many styles of music. Some artists have truly resonated across generations such as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison and Cold Play. I have been a fan of Adele, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Rhianna, Dave Mathews and George Benson.
Performances are generally 45mins of every hour.
This can vary according to the structure of your event where communicated.
Hours quoted do not include setup time for which there is no charge and is generally 45-60 mins before start time.
I/We are happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
I can also source a power generator at quite a cheap rate of hire.
The songlist is available here for a clear indication of style and known songs. I am always open to discussing a song or two that are not on the list and whether they can be reasonably included either by performance or broadcasting the original recording during your event.
Clients often comment in their reviews that I/We read the situation perfectly and play to the moment. That could be pleasing and comfortable background music through to dance music for the party vibe.
Many wedding clients...
