About
Mark Rombout is a musical soloist for hire in Harvey, WA.
The harmonica is the lead instrument here, not the novelty. Mark Rombout is a veteran player now based in Western Australia, and he picks up other instruments depending on what the gig wants, including Celtic pipes and flutes for a wedding or a church service. The repertoire leans Latin and French, with sixties jazz and material stretching back to the twenties. Functions large or small. He needs 20 minutes either side to set up and pack down, and power is preferred but not essential in a small room.
The show
Harmonica out front, played by someone who treats it as a serious lead instrument. Mark's repertoire leans Latin and French, with sixties jazz alongside it, and the mix shifts depending on what the function is. For a wedding or a church service he'll bring Celtic pipes and flutes into it instead. Worth telling him what kind of occasion it is early, because the instruments he packs depend on the answer.
On the day
Twenty minutes before the start and twenty at the end. That's what Mark needs to get set and packed away, so build it into your timings rather than expecting music from the second he walks in. Power is preferred. In a small venue he can manage without it, which opens up spots that wouldn't otherwise work.
