Brett Strachan

With 20 years experience playing in various duos and bands, Brett now works solo with CD quality audio backing tracks enhanced by his live guitar and vocal skills.

Brett has a diverse repertoire to include modern and classic hits. He picks up on the mood of the room; can be relied on to play cool background music while people are dining or relaxing then swing into some up and lively dance music to make the party happen.

As an added bonus, Brett will play your “special” song, or any theme song you may want on the night. This can be pre-arranged to make your function successful. Brett is a dedicated professional.

Hello there,
Brett Strachan was awesome! The Bride, Groom, Guests and ourselves were amazed at his stamina, how he just carried on all night long, he was fantastic, he managed to get everyone up dancing and played to the group. I was apprehensive in hiring someone I had not met or heard over the net, but he was exactly what was advertised we would recommend him fully for large or small gatherings, for any occasion, thank you.
Thank you
Kind regards

Brett was fantastic and a perfect choice for our celebration - thank
you for recommending him! All of our guests (both young and old)
commented on what a wonderful job he did and how much they enjoyed
listening to him. We would have no problems recommending him to
others.

Thanks for the follow up!

Hi Pete
Brett was great - he judged the mood of the night well, and played/sang excellently. We only had a small wedding, and he pitched things just right; all the guests really enjoyed him. Can you please pass on many thanks from me and my wife Vic to Brett?
