Anthony's Birthday Party in Tinbeerwah, Feb 2023

Highly recommend Ricki. Not only was his entertainment great. Dealing with him in the lead up was an absolute pleasure.



Tom's Wedding in Bridgeman Downs, Nov 2022

We wish to sincerely thank Ricki for his performances at our wedding over the weekend. Not one guest did not comment on how good Ricki was, from the minute Ricki arrived he put me at easy and it continued all night, his range of songs, his ability to proform and read the crowd made the night and we are just so grateful to have had Ricki's services. Would highly recommend Rickis services to anyone looking to have a great event. Thankyou again Ricki.



More Info


Expect absolutely anything to happen really. I’m very guided by the audience and I often don’t even prepare a set list as I love to bounce off the energy of the room and the people. I engage with the audience and invite requests where people can scan a QR code to my song list and fire away with what they want to hear. I really love it when I get to the end of a show and everyone has heard something they love.


Every event is different. So I work with you to find out what you need and to do all I can ensure everything runs smoothly as possible.


this is just a portion of of Ricki’s song list
