Mariah 's Wedding in Oatlands, Nov 2024

Karl played at our wedding and through our ceremony. He's an extremely talented performer and helped to make our day very special and stress free!



Judy's Birthday Party in Bilgola Beach, Oct 2024

Karl was just perfect for our family birthday celebration. So obliging and easy to work with. His choice of music worked so well with a varied age group from young kids to oldies. Thank you Karl.
