Wedding drinks could start with Slingo's acoustic looping before the music develops towards more energetic covers or a DJ set later. Guitar sits at the centre of a sound combining trumpet, bass, beats and vocal harmonies, with ukulele another possibility for a particular moment. He has more than fifteen years of experience and can move from easy listening into singalongs, with reggae and pop among the musical styles. Listen here and enquire about shaping the song choices together, thinking about where live layers would feel right and when you might want the evening to turn towards dancing.

Good to know
What to expect
Fifteen years in, Slingo is organised and punctual, and on the day of an event those two words are worth more than most things on a musician's profile. Sets usually run three to five hours. He pitches the room himself: easy listening at a considerate volume when you want conversation and intimate covers, then foot stomping pub classics once people are ready to sing and dance. Reggae, acoustic and pop sit at the centre, with other styles folded in depending on the event. He's played Airlie Beach Music Festival, Surfers Paradise Festival, Miami Marketta and a long list of Gold Coast venues, and he plays trumpet on other artists' recordings between his own shows.
On the day
A small space of around two metres by four, and a power point. Not much to organise. And if you're planning something on the beach or in a park where there's no power within a hundred metres, he carries a small battery powered amplifier for exactly that, so an outdoor spot doesn't rule the booking out.
