When the wedding is ready for classic rock, Merlin can produce the impression of a full band from a solo singer and lead guitarist. He plays lead, rhythm and slide guitar over detailed backing tracks with instrumentation, backing vocals and real drums. Extensive professional experience spans solo and duo work, original and covers bands, tribute shows and backing other artists. Performance length and volume can be adjusted around the particular event, keeping the format flexible despite its larger sound. The moment to hear Merlin is after formalities, when one musician can give wedding guests the scale and familiarity of a rock band.

Good to know
What to expect
One person on stage, and it does not sound like one person. MERLIN plays lead, rhythm and slide over professionally made backing tracks carrying the rest of the instrumentation, backing vocals and real drums, so the songs land close to the records people know. Volume sits wherever your room needs it. The stage setup is part of the show too: a personalised banner, laser and LED party lights, and a bigger rig with colour chasers for larger rooms. He'll theme the set list and the visuals for occasions like Australia Day, Halloween or Anzac Day, using props kept from his tribute shows. A show runs three to four hours with three fifteen-minute breaks.
On the day
A basic stage or a clear patch of floor to play on, with power nearby. Undercover is better if the weather looks like turning. Beyond that he'll work around whatever your venue gives him.
