Best entertainers in Abercrombie
Abercrombie is a locality on the edge of Bathurst, a few minutes from the town centre, and not a town of its own. So the acts with an Abercrombie address, three DJs, are Bathurst DJs, and the singers, the cover band, the drag queen and the fire performer just behind them are Bathurst acts too. Read this page as Bathurst's list and it makes sense.
DJs are the story here: they crowd the top of the list in a way most country cities' lists don't, and it fits a town whose big nights are club functions, the university's end of year and race week in October, when every room in Bathurst is full and every act is spoken for. If you're booking anywhere near the race, do it months out. And ask the act whether they're already committed to something at the track.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Abercrombie
How much is a DJ for a wedding in Bathurst?
With that many DJs living in and around Bathurst, nobody is paying for travel, so the price comes down to hours, lights and whether the DJ also runs the ceremony and the canapes music. A wedding usually costs more than a birthday for the same hours, because there's more to run. The from-prices on the DJ cards above are their own starting points.
How long is a drag show?
A drag act at a Bathurst party is usually a set of two or three numbers plus hosting, or a longer show with costume changes if you book it that way, and the performer on this page will tell you what fits the room. Ask about the audience, since a birthday for the over-fifties and a hens night want different material. And ask whether they'll MC the rest of the night, which many do.
How much to pay wedding ceremony musicians in Bathurst?
The harp player at Orange is the nearest ceremony specialist, and they'll quote for the hour plus the drive along the highway, which is the bigger part for a Bathurst job. A Bathurst singer with a guitar is the other option and won't add travel. Compare the from-prices on the cards, then ask each what an hour at your venue comes to with the drive spelled out.
Can I book a fire performer for an outdoor party in Bathurst?
Yes, there's one based in town, and a winter night out here is when a fire show looks best. The venue has to allow open flame and the show needs dark, so it's a late slot, and any wind across the plains is the performer's call on the night. Ask what their wet or windy fallback is when you enquire.
Booking tips
Book around race week
The big race in October fills every bed and most of the acts for a week, and the DJs especially are working. If your date is anywhere in that month, enquire early and put the date in the first line.
A DJ-heavy list has a gap
The cover band and the singers on the page are the live music, and there aren't many of them close, so if you want a band rather than a DJ, send that enquiry first. Lithgow and the mountains are the next bands along, an hour or more east.
Out of town is still close
Venues on the western side of Bathurst, out towards the racetrack and the villages beyond, are a short run for any act on this page. Give the address anyway, because a farm at Rockley or Trunkey Creek is a different drive.
