Photo of Mantravine Mantravine "So awesome to see the co-creative potential made manifest in such a tangible way, thanks for being part of the magic that was Luminate 2019!!" Based in Singapore, Central Singapore, Singapore (3,926 miles from Port Macquarie) Starrlite Mclean - Music Festival Curator for Luminate Festival, New Zealand Photo of Versus Versus "Versus played my 25th class reunion! Their mix of 80s, 90s and current hits were ON POINT! They had our crowd dancing all night! These guys put on a fun show, sound great and are consummate professionals! Highly recommend!" Based in Oahu, Hawaii, United States (4,891 miles from Port Macquarie) 23rd September 2026 Frejamin Jackson - Class reunion Photo of Michael.C Michael.C "I hired Michael to play guitar at both public and private events numerous times and he’s always prepared and did a good job!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (7,577 miles from Port Macquarie) 5th March 2026 Long Lai - Wedding and corporate parties Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States (7,588 miles from Port Macquarie) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of BackForward / Adam Cartwright BackForward / Adam Cartwright "Talented across the board! We were blown away by Adam’s professionalism, attention to detail, musical talent and fun factor at our recent party! The cherry on top was his ability to take great quality professional photos! Adam was a great MC who took my DJ playlist inspiration and ran with it to create the perfect playlist for our party. And we can’t forget the Taylor Swift meets Coachella rendition of Happy Birthday which flowed into Jack & Diane. Such a fantastic addition to the event!" Based in Naperville, Illinois, United States (9,048 miles from Port Macquarie) Derek - Private Party Photo of Blood Moon Mafia Blood Moon Mafia "We highly recommend Blood Moon Mafia. We hired them for our daughter's 14th birthday party and they were amazing! Incredibly talented group of artists, from the singer to the drummer to the guitarists, they more than delivered. Our daughter curated a playlist for them to use and they put together a very enjoyable mini concert and everyone was blown away. They more than met our expectations and we would definitely hire them again!" Based in Miami, Florida, United States (9,222 miles from Port Macquarie) 17th September 2026 Marley A. - Private event
