Best entertainers in Para Hills
Para Hills is a ridge suburb, built up the slope between Salisbury and Modbury through the sixties and seventies, and it looks down on most of the acts that serve it. The ten at the top of the list are Adelaide's, based in the city about a quarter of an hour away down Main North Road, and the same ten appear on the Para Vista, Pooraka and Mawson Lakes pages with the distances a couple of minutes different. So if the names are the same everywhere, what's this page for?
Reading the reviews, mostly. All ten carry them, an accordion player with the longest record of the lot, then duos and cover bands with a run of client comments each, and that's more than a suburb this size usually gets to compare. The blocks up here are the big seventies kind, which is why so many Para Hills parties are backyard ones: a fiftieth on the lawn, an engagement under a gazebo, and a duo with a small PA is the act built for that. For a club or a hall the cover bands and party bands are the pick, and the drive is no part of the price.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Para Hills
How far ahead should I book for a party in Para Hills?
For a Saturday between October and April, two or three months, because the same acts are the Barossa's wedding bands and that calendar fills first. A weeknight or a winter date can be sorted inside a fortnight. Nothing is booked until you've accepted a written quote, so asking early costs you nothing.
Is a duo enough for a backyard fiftieth?
Usually, yes. Two players with their own PA cover the dinner hour at a talking volume and still get the patio moving after the cake, and they fit through a side gate. Go to a band when there's a proper yard, a power point that isn't an extension lead from the kitchen, and neighbours who've been warned.
Do the acts charge travel to Para Hills?
No. A quarter of an hour up Main North Road is inside every city act's normal range, and none of the ten on this page is likely to add a line for it. Where a travel figure does turn up on the northern side it's for Gawler and the Barossa, not for the Paras.
Booking tips
Backyards run on the neighbours
A home party in Para Hills is fine until the amplifier isn't, so tell the act the finish time the street will wear and ask for a quieter final set. Duos and soloists are easier to turn down than a drummer.
The northern pages overlap, so use one
Para Vista, Pooraka and Mawson Lakes show these same acts a few minutes closer or further. Don't read all four; pick one and spend the time on the profiles.
Spring Saturdays go to the Barossa
The wedding bands and duos on this list are up past Gawler most Saturdays from October, and a Para Hills sixtieth on the same night is competing with a winery. Ask in winter for a spring date and keep a second name handy.
