Jesse Cleveland and Phil Robb bring about 60 years of playing between them, and they use it to dodge the songs every other acoustic act leans on. A Martini Henrys set might run Creedence into Faith No More, drop into Eminem, then land on You Am I or Soundgarden. Alternative, grunge and hip hop are the home ground, with classics kept in reserve. Big sound for two people, strong harmonies, and the gear to cover anything from a quiet afternoon to a full wedding reception. Based at Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands. If you're outdoors, they'll want a roof of some kind over the performance area.

Good to know
What to expect
Two players, sixty years of stage time between them, and a set that swerves away from the songs every other acoustic act reaches for. Alternative, grunge and hip hop are where The Martini Henrys are most at home, though the well-known classics are there when a room wants them. Expect songs you'd forgotten you loved by bands that soundtracked your twenties. They turn up on time and they read the night as it goes, so an easy afternoon session and a wedding that never sits down are both within range.
On the day
One thing to sort before the day: if you're putting them outside, there needs to be something over the performance area. A marquee, a verandah, a pergola, whatever the venue happens to have. Amplifiers and rain are a bad combination, so this one isn't negotiable.
