Brightside is a musical duo for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Mick and Dan have been playing together since 2009, and Brightside have racked up hundreds of weddings, corporate events and pub gigs in that time. They've held house band residencies at The Botanical in South Yarra, the Half Moon in Brighton and Big Mouth in St Kilda. The two of them like talking to a crowd and they tell jokes, some of which land. But they'll also sit back and play ambient instrumental music with no interaction at all if that's what the room needs. The song list keeps growing, and with enough notice they'll learn something specific for your day.

Gary and I would like to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding. Everyone loved you and are still talking about you to this day. Our first dance song was perfect (though perhaps our dancing not so much!). You would have made Elvis proud :)
I will happily recommend you to anyone who will listen.
All the best,

Hi Dan,I meant to email earlier in the week to say a huge thank you to you & Mick for Saturday night. You guys were amazing!! I cannot thank you both enough. Even our neighbours came in the next day to say how good you guys sounded!!
Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the fantastic entertainment at Millie and Brett's wedding at Stillwater on March 28. We could not have been happier with the music and the feedback from friends and family has been 100% positive. Everyone loved it and it was obvious from the dancing that went on. You had me from the start and I am a bit ashamed that there were some people I didn't speak to because I was having too much fun on the dance floor.Thanks again and I will certainly recommend you to friends. Hope to see you again somewhere soon.

Hi guys,We just wanted to say thankyou so much for playing our wedding on the 15th of March at the Mandalay. We have received so much positive feedback from our family and friends about how good you guys were, and it reflected in how full the dance floor was all night.
Thankyou for doing an amazing job with born to be my baby. I only wish I had it recorded so we could listen to it over and over again. The harmonies were amazing and it sounded great!!Thanks again for everything.

What can we say! The Brightside Duo was nothing short of amazing. So many people commented on just how good they were. They really know how to work the crowd and their musical talent is outstanding. They created the perfect atmosphere and we can not thank them enough.

Being a singer myself, I was really fussy about the music for our wedding reception. As soon as I heard Brightside, I knew we had found our band! Our guests were applauding after their first acoustic number and the dance floor was packed the whole night! I lost count of how many people commented how fantastic Brightside were. Our reception wedding coordinator was so impressed, she decided to use Brightside for her wedding as well! So stop searching, this is your band!!
