Party: Quini's Ripcord

Party: Quini's Ripcord

Quini can really cater for any type of audience because of a vast range of music and the varying formats in which that music is presented.

With over 500 songs spanning from the 50’s right up to the pop charts of today, Quini is always keeping abreast of the current trends. His versitile vocal style makes it possible for him to cover many different artists with uncanny accuracy, and in the duo format the increasingly popular female artists are perfectly emulated.

From old time rock & roll to disco, from country to heavy rock and from jazz\blues to grunge, Quini can play it all.

A song list similar to the one attached, is sent to customers prior to booking and they are encouraged to choose the appropriate music for their special gathering.

WORRIED ABOUT PERFORMANCE ? – 23 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Quini would have to be one of, the most experienced singers on the south coast having performed over 3000 live shows. He started his career not as a solo artist, but as a gutarist\singer in a couple of very popular cover bands way back in 1981.

QuiniOne of which was HOT ICE. Quini co-formed the five piece band with school buddy Martin Maloney and they went on to dominate the live band scene around the Illawarra for close to 5 years.

When his second band KID GLOVES split Quini decided to form a duo with the bassist from that band, John Stokes. Using tape backing ( drum machines were scarce in those days) they received constant weekend work around Wollongong and interstate.

However, due to the availability of duo work at the time, Stokes and Quini both became solo acts and re-formed on the odd occasion.. And so Quini, Soloist was born.

In 1987 he landed the job of resident entertainer at the Illawarra Hotel and went on to play an average of 4 nights a week there for 11 years.

He did however play other venues in that time. Wedding, parties, pubs and clubs were and still are a regular thing, and as Quini notched up the gigs, his name became more and more respected.
