Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

The best gig I have ever done was playing at the Glastonbury Music festival in 1999. It was an audience of 150,000 people. It is one of the largest music festivals in the history of the planet Earth.


What's your favourite type of event?

An outdoor music festival is the most rewarding experience that you can ever participate in as a creative musician.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been a musician my whole life.. My first serious gigs were with the Albert "Tootie" Heath Quintet, (I was 19 years old) followed by more work with many historical jazz figures.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My musical influences include Charlie Parker, Ludwig Van Beethoven, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and many others....... There are several greatest songs of all time : "Koko, Beethoven's 7th Symphony, Transition, Little Wing" are four of the greatest .....

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Typical set up times are between Noon and 10PM. Performances last normally from 45 minutes to 6 hours. We play between 1 to 5 x 45 minute sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to perform outside as long as proper shading / sheltering has been set up. We prefer not to play in the exposed sunlight as it is bad for some of the equipment.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients can make requests up to three weeks before the performance time for a charge of $75 per request.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Here is a review from a previous client:
