I offer a wide range of musical services - live music at weddings, parties, social or corporate functions and fund raisers, and entertainment trivia nights with live music and video on a big screen, and karaoke nights for social functions.
I also offer recording services - backing tracks for karaoke, recording you singing your special song, writing songs and movie scores, cutting and pasting tracks for calisthenics, body building routines or wedding marches.
I also provide a D.J. Service to suit your group - over 20,000 tracks to choose from in all different genres.
Here's a recent updated songlist for my live music.
Weddings
Weddings are a specialty. Having performed at over 200 weddings I am well prepared to customise whatever you want. From formal traditional functions to more relaxed settings, there is an ongoing consultation from the time you book me until the wedding where we can fine tune anything you like. You can even have uncle Luciano sing a song or two for you karaoke style if that pleases you.
For your wedding, the rates start at $495 (no time limit applies).You get to choose all of the songs, the order they are played in, a bridal waltz and use me as an M.C if you like. I require a copy of your invitation so that I have the same information as everyone else about venue and times.
For your end of year social function, presentation night or birthday party, it's $495 for as long as you want, either as a live performer or as a D.J. or both! I'll play songs you want from my list, both live and/or as a D.J., or it you give me enough notice, I'll sequence particular songs I don't yet have. I'll be your announcer for the night if you wish, call up the speech givers and help with cake cutting / presentation side of things. We won't dance The Nutbush or that other line dance unless you pay me extra!!! (I'm joking!)
Just wanted to really thank you again for your professional and entertaining services that you and Kev provided for our Music Trivia Night last Saturday. The feedback has been fabulous and everyone got into the spirit of the night and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We really appreciate it and would definitely recommend you to anyone else.
You particularly have at least two massive fans in a couple of friends on our table who kept telling everyone they couldn't believe how good you were and that your guitar etc skills were "hot" (they are somewhat musos themselves and dedicated rockers and believe they know what they are talking about!!).
Thanks again and cheers,
Carolyn
also all of Social & Fundraising team and the kinder community who enjoyed it so much."
Gone are the old fashioned trivia nights with some guy up the front talking at you all night...interactive music trivia is HERE NOW!!!!
Sing the next line when the live musician stops... guess who else sang the song playing on the big screen... laugh when everyone joins in and sings the answers!...
A full on live action night of music and trivia hosted by the very entertaining Kev Bayliss with live music by Chris Sporton. Get your group into teams for the best MusicTrivia night you've ever seen, and make your booking NOW... don't miss out on the date you want!!
Our trivia nights are a two man extravaganza. We supply everything including big screen, live music, D.J music, we host the night and assist with presentation of prizes for winners etc. The charge for this fantastic service is only $595. Cheap at twice the price... we just love to do it.
For regular bookings at licenced venues the going rate is $350 for four hours. For D.J services in addition, add $50. The industry standard is three 40 minute sets over this time, but I usually play four if there is no other act. I don't work with other D.Js as a rule (If you have one under control I'll re-consider...but he'll cost you more than a $50) For a regular booking I'll play the first night for free.
For all live bookings, I play music on C.D during my breaks in singing unless you book me as a D.J too (add $50). You can choose the music if you like, or leave it to me. It's usual to supply 'the entertainment' (me...) with a meal and soft drinks.
I like to be at the venue one and a half hours before the start of play.
Audio Services
Backing Tracks Are you getting ready for a special occasion where you would like to sing a song - for example your wedding, your 21st, 40th, 50th etc - your partner's birthday? Are you entering a singing competition? Are you going to the local Chinese karaoke place and don't like the crappy midi backings? For $35 I'll record your backing music on a C.D with cover art, and post it to you. For an extra $20 per track I'll add extra tracks. No crappy sounding midi files - just digitally recorded sounds including live guitars and backing vocals. Send me an email with your details and what backing track(s) you'd like, and I'll email you further details.
Sing Your Favourite Song Do you have a song you've always wanted to sing and record for yourself, or to show off to your friends and family to, but don't know where to start? Come to my home studio and we can record your song, from scratch to a C.D with cover art included for only $50. Send me an email with your details and what song you'd like to sing and all you'll have to do is turn up, warm up your voice, and sing away!
Midi Files Select a song from my list and I'll send you a standard midi file. If you want them on C.D as audio files, I can do that for you - straight midi files recorded as C.D. Audio files are $25 for the first track and $10 for each extra track. My midi files recorded to audio are Roland XP sounds - much better than general midi. I'm known for my attention to detail on my midis. Email me with what you want.
Original Songs Are your songs just sitting there unrecorded and unheard? Do you want them arranged and recorded with you singing and/or playing? I can record your song however you want it. With just you, or with you and backing instruments - a whole orchestra if you want! You will come to my home studio and we will work on the song(s) together until you're happy with what you hear. It's only $40 an hour all up, including mastering your songs to C.D. and any artwork you want on the cover. Bring your own, or we can do it on the spot - including photos if you like. Email me with your details and I'll get back to you.
Dance Routines Are you doing a calisthenics routine to particular music? Or you may be a dancer auditioning for a spot and need to combine several parts of tracks into one routine? Or a body builder doing a similar thing. Tell me how much of each song you want, and for $25 for the first song, and $10 each extra track on the same C.D., I'll cut and paste them for you. Email me and I'll contact you about your requirements.
