Acoustic Covers
Songs that everyone will recognise and enjoy. From ballads and love songs, through to the latest charts, 80s and 90s music, rock, pop and reggae. Brett can even do a good Johnny Cash voice. Discuss your music preferences with Brett beforehand and he will tailor the song list to suit your theme, venue and audience.
Dance Music
Music to get the party started! Brett will read the room and play music that will encourage dancing, if it’s that type of party. He’s even been known to play a couple of kids’ songs earlier in the night, if there are young ones in the room, so that they can also enjoy a dance.
“Brett played for our wedding reception and was absolutely brilliant!! He is so down to earth and perfectly set the mood for the night with an amazing collection of songs, most of which we chose from his known songlist including our first dance song ‘Stand By Me’. Our family and friends couldn’t stop talking about the music that night and his great, authentic sound. Couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, humble and talented musician for our night, thank you Brett! 🎶”
