Watch
The show
Matt customises for whatever the occasion is, which is easier when you can do three different jobs. He has a degree in contemporary music, has played guitar in bands right across Australia, and has DJ experience picked up in New Zealand, Japan and Europe as well as at home. That's a wider grounding than most, and it shows in the selection. Expect music matched to the atmosphere you're after, whether that's a quiet dinner, a ceremony, or a room that needs to be moving by ten.
On the day
The PA is his own and it's a proper professional one, with lights and microphones included. So a venue with nothing in it is fine. He can run speeches through the system, and will handle MC duties from a run sheet you supply. The PA is also available for hire on its own if you've already got music sorted and just need sound.
Performance options
Book him as a solo instrumental guitarist for background and ceremony work, as a duo with a female vocalist for something with more voice in it, or as a DJ for the dancing part of the night. Some events take more than one of those across a single day, which is worth mentioning when you enquire.
