Funny, entertaining, just the right level of audience participation and so great at incorporating every request. The team was on time, delightful to work with and truly the highlight of the party. Would thoroughly recommend this act -the best!" Based in Gold Coast, Queensland (354 miles from Newcastle) 27th October 2025 Renae Beaumont - 80th birthday party Photo of Bassline Bassline "If you’re looking for a band for any kind of function or event, stop looking and just hire Bassline Studios. They played at our wedding recently and were just incredible. From creating intimate moments in our ceremony, to a relaxed vibe during our cocktail hour, to the best dance party at our reception - they did it all. I’ve never seen a band engage with a crowd so much, as what they did with us all on the dance floor. They helped us have the most amazing night, and our guests are still raving about how great they were. I knew this band was going to be great though even before the night. Sometimes you meet people and get such a good feeling from them that you just know you can trust them to do a good job. Bernadette was like that for us. She was a delight to meet with prior to the wedding, and was so lovely and flexible with us, as we had to navigate through 3 wedding attempts due to COVID. We can’t thank her enough for her genuine care and enthusiasm that she gave us for our wedding. I cant recommend Bassline Studios highly enough." Based in Brisbane, Queensland (385 miles from Newcastle) 21st April 2026 Paul Cazzulino - Wedding
