Photo of Deb Edson Music Deb Edson Music "Thank you once again for performing at Guy’s 60th birthday celebration. You were truly wonderful. Right from the very first song, you set such an inviting and lively tone, and your fantastic selection of music kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. We also deeply appreciated how warm and accommodating you were with playing on when requested—it really made the evening extra special. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish, and I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional entertainment. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories; it was worth every bit of investment. Warmest regards, Melinda Damiano" Based in Perth, Western Australia 20th September 2026 Melinda Damiano - Husbands 60th Birthday Photo of AllstarShowstoppers AllstarShowstoppers "We had a Fantastic time, everyone has raved about the All Star Showstoppers, they had everyone up dancing and signing along. It was a fun night. I also want to thank Bryce the sound tech he was great, very helpful and easy going. Please send our sincere thanks to the Band and to Bryce they helped make the night a huge success, which we will build on for next year! Jenni Brown, Bunbury Rotary, Gala Night, Lord Forrest Htl, Bunbury 2011." Based in Perth, Western Australia Lord Forrest Hotel Bunbury. Photo of Pearl Pearl "“Pearl” the music duo with Sheona and Serge have become a regular gig at the Mounties where they play in our lounge bar on Saturday evenings. With Sheona singing her tunes and Serge on keyboard and vocal backing, this couple have a great repertoire of songs that create a fun, relaxed atmosphere that keeps our guests entertained all night. Their passion for music shows in the following they have established with our staff and customers looking forward to their next gig with us every time. Highly recommended by all of us at the Mounties. Dannyel Broadbent Licensee Mount Helena Tavern" Based in Perth, Western Australia Dannyel Broadbent - Licensee - The Mount Helena Tavern, 900A Keane St W, Mt Helena WA Photo of Rewind2play Rewind2play "Rewind2Play is a duo who make creative music videos. When they perform live, they do so in front of a big screen with a video playing in the background to match the song they are playing. Rewind2Play have over 50 videos on their youtube channel. These videos are very entertaining, amusing and original. One of their videos, a cover of Iko Iko, has had 200,000 views. Whilst most of their songs are covers, to cater for market needs, Rewind2Play also have several original songs, one of which I forecast will become a smash hit (I said that once before, when I first heard Joe Cockers version of I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends). I have seen Rewind2Play at several gigs, and the effects of playing in front of an entertaining video of them also playing the same song works exceedingly well, particularly some of the stunning backdrops/scenery and the amusing touches. The crowds love it, they pack the dance floor and they sing along. And multitasking, such as singing and dancing at the same time makes for thirsty work, so the bar sells a few bevvies to keep everyone lubricated. Mark is a Liverpudlian who writes the original songs, so there are a few Beatles covers in here too! Maybe when he is in Denton (Manchester), Mark will get a few more hats to add to his collection to make more videos. I'm expecting Rewind2Play to be very warmly received in the UK for their novel originality and creativity, and for the obvious love between Mark and his wife Aimee which illuminates many of the videos. But don't take my word for it, check out their youtube channel."

The sound/music and performance by all the band was incredible! No one wanted the set to end. Couldn't recommend them enough and will definitely see them again! ⭐" Based in Perth, Western Australia Courtney Nicholls - Live show @ The Civic Hotel Inglewood Photo of Zairyn Zairyn "Zairyn's background as a professional singer made for a commanding presence, I was truly captivated by the happenings on stage. Zai's truly unique and beautiful voice brought all of the songs up to a new standard. I will definitely be interested in her future gigs." Based in Bunbury, Western Australia (96 miles from Perth) Sebastian H.
