Fifties through to the 2000s, with a Cliff Richard and The Shadows tribute show and a swag of Elvis in the back pocket. Alex Matthews performs solo on guitar and vocals with professional backing tracks, or as a duo with a drummer, working through crowd songs like Brown Eyed Girl, Black Magic Woman and All Night Long. He reads the age group in the room and picks the mix to match, which is most of the job at weddings, dances, corporate events and private functions. PA and lighting are included, and public liability insurance is held.

Good to know
What to expect
Book Alex as a soloist, a duo or a trio and the job is the same: keep people entertained and keep the dance floor busy. Strong vocals, solid guitar work and high-quality professional backing tracks underneath. It's a straightforward, well-drilled show that doesn't leave gaps in the night.
On the day
One thing helps more than anything else: send through photos of the stage and entertainment area before the day. That way the right gear turns up for your venue rather than a guess at what might fit.
Set List
The party mix leans on the 70s through to 2000, plus a few from earlier. Think All Night Long by Lionel Richie, Black Magic Woman from Santana, Blame It on the Boogie, Boogie Shoes by KC and the Sunshine Band, Brown Eyed Girl, Hotel California, I Feel Good and Hot Hot Hot. There's a good run of Australian material too: Down Under by Men at Work, I Go to Rio from Peter Allen, If You Leave Me Can I Come Too? by Mental as Anything and Jump in My Car. Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Jason Mraz and The Four Seasons all get an outing as well.
Performance options
Three ways to book it. Alex solo on guitar and vocals, or Alex with a drummer working through hits from the 50s and 60s right up to 2000. There's also a tribute show built around Cliff Richard and The Shadows, and plenty of Elvis in the repertoire. Professional PA and moderate lighting are included with every performance.
