Bookings
Let's talk about the night
Tell me the date, the place and what it is. I will tell you straight away whether I am free.
How booking works
Three things, then a number
1
Tell me the night
The date, the place and what it is: a pub shift, a wedding, a work Christmas party, a 40th in the back yard. Rough start and finish times help. If it is a wedding, say which parts you want live, from the ceremony through to the dancing.
2
I tell you if I am free
Straight away, not after a round of emails. If the date is gone I will say so. If it is open, I will ask the two or three questions that decide whether solo or the acoustic duo suits your room better.
3
One figure, nothing added
Price depends on how long you need me, solo or duo, and travel. You get one number up front, with the PA, the lighting and the early arrival already in it. Say yes and the date is yours.
Before you ask
Booking questions, answered
How do I book Sally's Candy Shop?
Send the date, the place and what the night is through the form on this page, or call 0411 304 401. I will tell you straight away whether I am free, then come back with a price and a plan for the night.
What do you play?
Acoustic covers with a bit of grit: the crowd-pleasers, plus songs people do not expect to hear done this way. Chappell Roan next to Powderfinger, Lorde next to Cold Chisel. The full set list is on this site, and I take requests on the night.
How long is a set?
A full night is three sets, three or four hours all up, with short breaks. A wedding ceremony or a canapes hour on its own is a perfectly normal booking too. Tell me the shape of your night and I will fit it.
Do you travel outside Brisbane?
Yes. I live on the Brisbane Bayside and play across greater Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast. There is no travel charge inside greater Brisbane or Logan. Gold Coast dates are welcome with a bit of notice, and any travel is in the number I quote up front.
What do you charge?
There is no price list, because the number depends on how long you need me, whether it is solo or an acoustic duo, and how far I am travelling. Tell me those three things and I will give you one figure, with nothing added afterwards.
Solo or duo, and what do you bring?
Both. Solo suits most rooms and smaller spaces; the duo adds a second player and harmonies for a bigger room or a busier night. Either way I bring my own PA and lighting and turn up early. From you I need a corner, two power points and somewhere to park near the door.
