About
Get Back is a musical duo for hire in Greenwood, WA.
Two players, two lead voices. John takes guitar, Tim takes bass, and the harmonies between them are the reason this holds up. Get Back cover the sixties, seventies and eighties out of Perth's northern suburbs, and the repertoire is full of songs a crowd already knows: Khe Sanh, Run To Paradise, Mustang Sally, The Horses, Proud Mary, Summer Of 69, Three Little Birds, Long Train Running, plus a proper stack of Beatles. A typical booking is three sets over roughly three hours, with music playing between them, and they're not rigid about the timing. Volume and song choice get adjusted to the room. All sound and lighting comes with them, along with a spare microphone for speeches at no extra cost. Both hold the clearances a school function requires.
Watch
The show
John plays guitar, Tim plays bass, and both sing, which is why a two-piece ends up sounding fuller than it has any right to. The songs come from the sixties through the eighties and beyond: ballads, dancers, and the ones a whole room joins in on without being asked. They watch the volume and the song choices as the night moves, so a school community night and a fortieth get handled differently. Got a song that means something to you? Tell them and they'll work it in.
On the day
They'll fit into most spaces, tight or roomy, inside or out. All sound and lighting is theirs, and there's a spare microphone included for the MC or the speeches, which saves you hiring one. From the venue they need a standard power outlet and a flat, dry patch to stand on. Outdoor booking with rain about? Some cover, a marquee or a patio, so the gear stays safe.
Performance options
The usual booking is three sets across roughly three hours around Perth's northern suburbs, with recorded music filling the gaps so the room never falls silent. Sound and lighting are included in that. They're not clock watchers about set times either, so if the night runs long or the speeches drag, it gets worked out on the spot.
