About Tony George Entertainment
Tony George Entertainment is a Cairns live music act led by singer and guitarist Tony George, who has spent around two decades playing weddings, corporate functions and parties around the region. The line-up is built to suit the event: a solo acoustic set for a quiet dinner, a three-piece or five-piece band for a dancing crowd, or a larger tribute show for a gala night. The repertoire leans on classic rock and party hits, with dinner playlists for the early part of the evening and requests welcomed once the dance floor fills. Tony also works as MC, so one booking can cover the speeches, the formalities and the music. Corporate clients use him to host presentation segments and karaoke nights, and couples book him to run the wedding program between sets. The band brings its own PA and basic lighting – up to six coloured floor lights – and guests can use the microphone for speeches. Background music is supplied during breaks, either from the band's own playlists or from yours. Themed events are welcome, and Tony can help source costumes to match. Tony has played many of the larger resorts and function rooms in Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas, from beach weddings at sunset to conference dinners for several hundred guests. He will talk through the right band size for your room, crowd and style of night before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the band play for?
A typical booking runs for four hours, broken up by a 20-minute pause every hour. Tony will fit the sets around your timetable, and the night can be extended at extra cost if the venue's curfew allows it.
Can Tony be our MC as well as the band?
Yes. Tony regularly hosts weddings, presentation nights and corporate dinners while also performing. Because MC work is a separate role from the music, there is a small extra charge when he does both.
Do we need to supply a stage or lighting?
A stage is recommended for events of more than 50 guests, and the band can arrange staging at extra cost if the venue has none. The band brings basic lighting: as many as six coloured lights mounted on the floor.
What does the band need from us on the night?
The standard rider is a meal for each musician plus unlimited water or soft drinks, and a green room or set-aside area for the band to use during breaks.
How is a booking confirmed?
Once you accept the quote in writing and pay a 10% non-refundable deposit, the date is held for you. Invoices are paid by bank transfer, cheque or cash – credit cards are not accepted.
