Reggae, rock and Australian classics all appear inside Eighties Recall's tightly focused decade of music. Chris Reynolds sings with David Shirtliff on lead guitar, Robbie Penman on drums and Brian Grose on bass. INXS, Mondo Rock, The Sunnyboys, The Angels, Aussie Crawl, The Clash and Simple Minds help define the wedding repertoire. The quartet is built around nostalgia and dance floor energy, bringing several styles from the era into one live show. Its strongest feature is the clarity of the theme, with a full band devoted overwhelmingly to the songs of the eighties.

Good to know
What to expect
Four musicians, one decade, and a set list that goes a lot deeper than the obvious hits. Chris Reynolds fronts it on vocals, with David Shirtliff on lead guitar, Robbie Penman on drums and Brian Grose on bass. The material pulls from INXS, Mondo Rock, The Sunnyboys, The Angels, Australian Crawl, The Clash and Simple Minds, and it wanders from reggae into rock without much warning, which is what keeps a room of people from tuning out halfway through. A few tracks in the set aren't strictly from the decade at all. They stayed in because they work. Weddings, corporate nights and parties across South East Queensland are the usual run, and the dance floor filling up is the whole measure of the job.
On the day
Power is the only thing asked of the venue. Everything else arrives with the band, including the PA, the lights and the backdrops, so there's nothing for you to hire in or borrow from anyone else.
Performance options
Private parties, corporate functions and weddings are all covered, with wedding packages available. Let them know the date and the venue and they'll work out the shape of the night with you.
