Good to know
What to expect
Most nights start gently. A few relaxed favourites while people arrive and get a drink in hand, then a build once the room settles. But he's not locked to a running order, and if the crowd is up and ready by the third song he'll go with them. Wants a singalong? He'll pull out the Aussie hits everyone already knows. Quieter listening room? He'll take well known songs somewhere different, alternate versions alongside the familiar ones. Sixties through to the 2000s is his home ground.
On the day
It scales right down and right up. In a cafe he'll work in a tight corner with a single speaker placed carefully and the volume kept low. At the other end he can bring 6000W of sound with subs and lighting for a proper room. Either way, a power point is genuinely all he needs from you.
Set List
Four decades of covers, and the choices are more interesting than most. A Horse With No Name by America, All of Me by John Legend, Babylon by David Gray, Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Better Man by Pearl Jam, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, Budapest and Blame It on Me by George Ezra, Copperhead Road by Steve Earle, Creep by Radiohead, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. The Australian end is strong: Boys Light Up by Australian Crawl, April Sun in Cuba by Dragon, Because I Love You by The Masters Apprentices, Come Anytime by Hoodoo Gurus, Cool World by Mondo Rock, Amazing by Alex Lloyd, Come to Me by Diesel and Capricorn Dancer by Richard Clapton.
Performance options
Solo is the usual booking, and it works anywhere from a backyard barbecue up to a marquee or a larger venue. There's also a duo version available for pubs and functions if you want more on stage.
