About
Jimmi Nolan is a singer for hire in Casuarina, NSW.
Kingscliff on the Northern Rivers is home base, and the setup is a one man band built around live looping. Twenty years of gigs behind it, in Australia and overseas, and it shows in the song choice more than anything. Dinner sets lean chilled. Later on it's Riptide, Hey Ho, Mrs Robinson, Use Somebody, Chelsea Dagger and a Bob Marley medley, with a Valerie into Last Nite into Faith run when the floor is full. There's an original in there too, Make Me Happy. Solo is the standard shape, and a duo with a second singer, guitarist or pianist is available. Full PA and lights come along, enough for a small to medium venue. Public liability insurance, gear PAT tested each year.
Watch
The show
A one man band, built on live looping, so what leaves the speakers sounds a lot fuller than one bloke with a guitar. Jimmi works out of Kingscliff on the Northern Rivers and has been gigging for more than twenty years, here and overseas. That's the bit that actually matters on the night: hundreds of songs across pop and indie, old and new, and a good sense of which one belongs where. Chilled through dinner. Something else entirely once the floor opens up.
On the day
He carries a full PA with lights, which covers a small or mid sized wedding venue comfortably. Bigger rooms are still doable, they just need extra gear hired in, so mention the venue size when you enquire. He can also work as a duo, adding a second singer, a guitarist or a pianist depending on what the room calls for.
Performance options
Solo is the standard booking: three sets on the Tweed Coast and around northern New South Wales. The duo version puts a second musician alongside him, a male or female singer who plays guitar or piano, which thickens the sound for a bigger room. Work further afield is fine, it just gets quoted with the travel worked in. Anything outside those two shapes gets quoted on request.
