The cherry red Fender does a lot of the talking. Billy Volkofsky plays timeless rock and blues, heavy on the seventies and eighties, and a habit of drifting mid-song into something twangy and country, then something funkier and sharper. Little Wing, Pride and Joy, Sultans of Swing, Purple Rain, Tears in Heaven, Under the Bridge. A few originals get in there too. Requests are welcome, though the rehearsed material is where he's strongest. He brings amp, guitar, pedals, microphone and stand, but no vocal PA of his own. Melbourne based.

Good to know
What to expect
Guitar-led, and weighted towards classic rock and blues from the seventies and eighties. Billy also writes and sings his own material, so a set isn't purely covers. Requests are welcome and he'll have a crack, but he's honest about where he's strongest: the songs he's rehearsed are the ones that land. If there's something you badly want to hear, send it through before the day rather than calling it out on the night.
On the day
He arrives with amp, guitar, pedals, microphone and stand. One thing to sort out at your end: he doesn't carry a speaker setup for vocals, so the venue needs to have a PA he can sing through, or one needs hiring in. Check that with your venue before you lock the date, because it's the only gap.
