About
Tony Mak is a musical soloist for hire in Hobart, TAS.
Tony Mak is unusually organised for a musician, and he says so himself. He arrives early, knows the running order, and plays what you asked for, which sounds like a low bar until you've booked someone who does none of it. The act shifts to suit the night: solo acoustic, a duo, a full band, or DJ sets when the dancing starts, drawing on everything from the 60s to now. He's Hobart-based and easy to accommodate. Power within about ten metres, some cover in case the weather turns, and for ceremonies in remote spots he brings a battery speaker instead. He holds public liability insurance.
Watch
The show
Tony turns up early, knows the run sheet, and plays what you asked for. That sounds like the bare minimum until you've booked someone who managed none of it. The equipment is good gear, so there are no surprises halfway through the night, and the music gets matched to each moment rather than run as one long set. He's professional about the work and easy-going about everything else, which is a decent combination when your day is already busy.
On the day
Power within five to ten metres of wherever he's setting up, and somewhere under cover in case the weather turns on you. Ceremonies in remote spots with no power at all are still fine, because he brings a portable battery speaker for exactly that.
