Photo of Erik Stripparo Erik Stripparo "5 stars! Erik was great! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales (42 miles from Wollongong) 21st March 2026 Lysandra - Private party 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 (3,917 miles from Wollongong) 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 (5,116 miles from Wollongong) 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 (7,807 miles from Wollongong) 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 (7,817 miles from Wollongong) 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 (9,250 miles from Wollongong) Derek - Private Party
