About
Wayne Jones is a musical soloist for hire in Canberra, ACT.
Wayne Jones learned the trade in the clubs of northern England, playing rock bands from his teens, before stints in Asia and a move to Canberra, where he's part of the local scene now. The voice covers a lot of ground, which is why the set can wander from folk and blues to the heavier end of rock and still hang together. Most of it lands acoustic, or reworked acoustic, and there's a decent stretch of Irish material if you want it. Old favourites, newer singalongs, and songs he's given his own turn. Background or full tilt, he'll play all night. He brings a portable 500 watt PA, basic lights, and will sort the audio directly with your venue.

The show
Old favourites and the newer toe-tappers, played by someone who's spent long enough in front of crowds to know which is which. And there's a fair bit of Irish music in the repertoire too, if that's the sort of night you're after.
On the day
Wayne has a 500 watt PA that's easily portable, so it fits in most rooms without a fuss. Lighting is basic but does the job, and he can handle projection as well if you want visuals running.
Performance options
He plays amplified or completely acoustic, whichever suits your room, and the PA comes along when you ask for it. He's also happy to speak to your venue directly and sort the audio setup between them, so you don't end up relaying technical questions back and forth.
