Singer Hire Newcastle - Roger Pryor

About

Roger Pryor is a singer for hire in Newcastle, NSW.

Roger Pryor covers a wide range of material with just a guitar and a voice, and he likes that constraint. The songs are the instantly recognisable ones, drawn from across the decades to the present day. Where it gets interesting is the request list: guests scan a QR code on the tables and pick from the whole repertoire during the night. He can also theme a show, whether that's an all Australian set called AsAussieAs or a run of fifties and sixties hits for a milestone birthday. Newcastle based, with years behind him in clubs and pubs and at weddings, private parties, harbour cruises and conference dinners. He brings professional sound and works out the set with you beforehand.

Watch

The show

A voice, a guitar and run of songs your guests will recognise from the first bar. Roger has spent years in clubs and pubs and at weddings, harbour cruises, private parties and conference dinners, and it shows in how he paces a night. He likes the challenge of covering wide ground with such a stripped back setup. Before the day, you and Roger work out the music together, so the set arrives already pointed at your crowd rather than being guessed at on the night. The sound gear is professional and comes with him.

On the day

Power, and enough room to set up in. Roger sorts the rest out with you beforehand rather than turning up with a list of demands on the day, so if your venue has quirks, an awkward corner, a long carry from the car park, a shared power board, mention them when you enquire and he'll plan around them.

Performance options

Beyond a standard covers set, Roger builds themed shows. AsAussieAs is Australian artists and nothing else, start to finish. He'll also put together a run of fifties and sixties hits, which lands well at a milestone birthday where the guest of honour grew up on them. Any other way of arranging the set is possible too, decade by decade or something you've thought up yourself. And on the night, guests scan a QR code at the tables and choose from his full repertoire as the evening goes.
