About
Bobby is a singer for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
No music stand, no tablet, no lyrics sheet. Bobby carries every song from memory, and a wireless headset mic means no mic stand either, so nothing gets in the way of moving through the crowd and dancing mid song. Backing tracks fill the sound out to full band scale through a Bose PA that takes up almost no room and doesn't even need a power point. Setup runs 15 to 30 minutes, indoors or out. The set is built from singalong material: Sweet Caroline, That's Amore, Brown Eyed Girl, Sway, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Newcastle audiences have been getting this treatment for more than 20 years, backed by 30 million dollars in public liability cover.

The show
Bobby doesn't sit down. Not once. He's out in the room getting people singing along and up on their feet, dancing while he sings, and there's no music stand or tablet in front of him because the lyrics are all in his head. The mic is a wireless headworn one, so there's no stand either, nothing between him and the crowd. Backing tracks fill it out so it sounds like a band rather than one bloke. And the Bose rig he uses takes up barely any floor space, which he'll happily tell you is one of the best PAs going.
On the day
Nothing for you to arrange. He brings his own PA and lighting, needs 15 to 30 minutes to get set up, and takes up very little room. He doesn't even need a power point. Indoors or outdoors both work.
Performance options
Bookings are set by how long you want him playing rather than by named packages. A single hour suits a charity function or an aged care home visit. From there it steps up: two to three hours, four to five hours, or a whole day where an event runs long. Regular ongoing gigs get talked through separately. Tell him the run time you have in mind when you enquire and he will confirm what fits.

All I do is dream of you
Just the way you look tonight
Sweet Caroline
I saw her standing there
That's Amore
Ain't that a kick in the head
When you're smiling
You've got a friend
I've got the world on a string
Just the way you are
Save the last dance for me
I just called to say i love you
Stuck on you
Pretty woman
Happy together
Runaround sue
Under the boardwalk
To make you feel my love
Honky tonk woman
My girl
Obladi oblada
Till there was you
What a wonderful world
All of me
