About
Rory Price is a singer for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Rory Price starts from a question most acts skip: what does your event actually need from the music? Softer and quieter while people mingle and network, or loud enough to hold the room. He reads the tone and adapts the playlist as the night moves. The Brisbane setlist runs wide and keeps growing. Tennessee Whiskey, Valerie, Big Yellow Taxi, Stand By Me, Chasing Cars, Perfect, Stressed Out, All The Small Things. He brings his own gear, dresses for whatever you're hosting, and needs a power socket plus cover from sun or rain outdoors. Most bookings at the moment are three sets of 45 to 50 minutes with Spotify playlists in between. Holds a blue card for working with children.

The show
Rory starts by asking what your event actually needs, which more acts should do. Quiet and low while people are eating and talking, then up and properly loud when the room is ready for it: he moves the playlist as the night moves. He brings all his own equipment, and he dresses for whatever you're hosting rather than turning up in gig clothes to a formal dinner. The whole approach is built around causing you as little work as possible. Give him a spot and a power point and he handles the rest.
On the day
A power socket, and a flat dry patch to stand on. If you've got him outside, he'll need cover from sun or rain, which is worth sorting early rather than on the morning when the forecast turns. He carries everything else himself and doesn't need much floor, so a small corner will do.
Performance options
There's no fixed menu here. Rory quotes on what your event needs, because a two hour restaurant night and a full wedding day aren't the same job. If you've no idea how much music to ask for, the shape most people land on at the moment is three sets of 45 to 50 minutes, with Spotify playlists running through the breaks so the room never goes quiet.
