Matt Orchard
From subtle background music to pumped up, ‘sing a long’ dancing tunes, Matty can tailor a set of songs to suit any event.
A total professional, he has delivered his no nonsense brand of campfire and beer songs at pubs, weddings, engagements, restaurants, sporting clubs, festivals, 18th birthdays, 21sts, 30ths, 40ths, 50ths…….and even an 80th birthday.
It’s testament to his enduring popularity as a live entertainer, that since moving to Apollo Bay in 2000, Matty has played over two and a half thousand gigs at hundreds of venues and private functions around Victoria, in particular the South West, and he’s still going strong.
Recently, Matty has become one of the regular entertainers on The Indian Pacific train as it crosses the country from Sydney to Perth and back again.
Also available is Matty’s acoustic duo, featuring music industry stalwart, Tim Henwood. Together they are The Beach Blokes and can provide a turbo charged acoustic experience!
