About
I started out back in uni days, when my percussion friend suggested I audition as a guitarist in his funk band. I got the part and we had a blast playing gigs around town over the years. Weddings are a whole level above the pub gigs, I've learnt a lot since those days and definitely am more confident to deliver a great performance that adds value to the special couple. I love weddings! I enjoy being the one in the crowd that creates the atmosphere, the joy, the love!

Definately yes I am willing to travel out of town. There will be a distance premium if it's more than a couple of hours away, it gets a but dangerous dodging the kanagaroos and wombats at night from 2 in the morning onwards (I dont want to end up falling asleep at the wheel from exhaustion).
Absolutely, I can go solo acoustic guitar (not nylon string but steel string) for a more ambient vibe so that your guests can talk and wait for the bride and groom, warm them up for a great night!
I will pay attention to your needs throughout the whole evening. If the music is too loud I will turn it down. If the music is too soft I will turn the music up. If you need to do speeches early it's no problem. If you want to do a surprise impromptu live performance with me to dedicate to your partner, let's go, just hoping we both know the song!... If you want to use my microphone instead of the venues in house system you are most welcome. I am at your service, this is your night, I want to make sure it goes down in your memory as a great night with family and friends.
Yes, locally I have played support act to Vanessa Amarosi, Diesel, Marcia Hines, Cristine Anu, Max Sharam, Richard Clapton and have jammed with John Stevens (Noiseworks), Natalie Bassingthwaighte (Rogue Traders) Rachael Beck (Hey Dad & Beauty & The Beast), Michael Cormick (Beauty & The Beast) and Claude Hay
Internationally I have played support act to John Hammond, Andrew Roachford (Roachford band) and John Legend
Absolutely! Say for instance you have a garden wedding and the ceremony is at the back near the fence of your property, I can either get a long extension cord or go battery amp, then for the main stage I will go at the corner near the photo booth or gift table near the cake.

Van Sereno
It depends on what kind of effect that you're after. Djs tend to give that nightclub appeal to your audience where as your band is like a live concert. Both have the potential for an energetic dance, or a chilled out vibe.
