Before you book
Trios and small bands in Sydney: common questions
Can I see a trio perform before I book?
Yes, for 27 of them. Their pages have a performance video you can play, which tells you more about how they sound and look in a room than any description can.
Will a Sydney trio travel to a regional venue?
Many will. 8 of the trios and small bands listed here say how far they go, and 5 of those cover 200 km or more. Mention the venue when you enquire, because travel and accommodation usually get added to the quote.
How big should the line-up be?
In Sydney the most common size is 6 people. Go smaller for a ceremony, dinner or a tight room, and bigger when the goal is a full dance floor in a large venue.
What happens once I send an enquiry?
Each act you picked replies with a written quote for your date. Put them side by side, check what each one includes, then decide. Enquiring costs nothing and you are not committed to anyone.
