Dean Betts Music

My experience and songlist spans decades, 60's 70's 80's 90's 00's music is his predominant field. See the song and artist lists above. Generally I like to warm a crowd up with some chilled out favourites, but can read the room and am not locked in to any particular song list. If the crowd is rareing to go by the 3rd song, I'm up for it. If they want a singalong, i can smash out some Aussie hits that everyone knows. But if its a quieter listening audience, I can provide provocative and alternate cover versions of well known songs, as well as familiar sounds from the original versions the crowd will know and love.

I can work in the smallest of areas in cafes, as quiet as you like with only 1 speaker strategically placed, right up to 6000W of power including subwoofers and lighting. All i need is a powerpoint!
