About
The Swing & Showtunes Collective is a musical duo for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Voice and piano, nothing more, working through jazz and theatre standards from Sinatra to Sondheim. William has played live pre-game shows for the NRL and supported Pseudo Echo, MI-SEX and Dragon. Joanne started piano at four, won a local eisteddfod at six and took out the Cincinnati World Piano Competition at ten. Between them there's more than 40 years of playing. The repertoire runs deep through Dean Martin, Etta James, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett and Ray Charles. Three 45 minute sets across a three hour evening is their usual shape, and they bring and run their own PA. Sydney based, with public liability insurance.

Performance options
The venue booking they run most often is three sets of 45 minutes, spread across an evening of about three hours. Their PA comes with them and they handle both ends of it, wheeling it in beforehand and packing it away once the last song is done. That shape can be reworked if your night runs differently, whether that means shorter sets, a longer stretch or a different balance of jazz and theatre material. Tell them what the evening looks like and they will put something together around it.
