Testimonial
"We couldn't have possibly found any duo more suitable for our wedding day. Kathy and Bryan were simply divine, and for a small and intimate wedding they fitted in like part of the family - sharing food, drink and many a laugh. Exactly as we'd hoped. They're incredibly accommodating (not to mention fabulous musicians) and we would recommend them to anyone for an occasion big or small"
Sophie & Jason McLellan
Perfect for corporate events, private events, private parties, functions of distinction. Perfect for cocktail parties, intimate dinners, business functions, all events throughout South Queensland.
With many years experience as professional musicians, in the Classical, Jazz, and Commercial music scene, Bryan and Kathy have put together a very special combination of styles, ranging from Bach and Mozart with a jazzy twist, foxtrots and tangos, latin grooves, through to popular songs from all eras, and some mod songs with flair.
Piano and Upright Bass add that special touch to your event. Can also work with keyboard and electric bass. Can perform quality background, cocktail and dinner music - but also play for dancing if required later in the evening with some tasteful backings to assist their vocals. Latest work has taken Amica to the The Queensland Club, Old Government House, and the Q1 on the Gold Coast.
