Normally the domain of a many-handed expensive showband, mike has vast experience in this area and can handle the largest or smallest of these important events where the all-important 'entertainment-value' x factor is required.
Featuring live keyboards, guitar, vocals, harmoniser, the best quality backing tracks from a comphrensive repertoire that covers all the bases and caters for everyone. Delivered with the best but discrete bose pa system, a fully professional stage lighting system, an interval disco and a personality presentation that builds the necessary connections between the stage and the audience. The performance is volume conscious and effective due to lack of live bass n drums, is hugely cost effective, balanced against the cost of a full band and is simply 'effective' in the extreme due to the comphehensive blend of skill, experience, professionalism and charm.
Female vocalists can be added by arrangement. Simply call for more details.
Even minor occasions can be turned into major ones with the minimum of fuss and expense.
Adaptable both logistically and musically for any type of smaller event, mike can put the icing on the smallest of cakes.
