MUSIC

The Sally Connection are an acoustic duo and The Four Play Band are a 4 peice band (Jonathan + Sol + drummer + bass).

We regularly perform at weddings and private functions providing quality live music entertainment suitable for all audiences on Waiheke Island, Auckland and across New Zealand.

Our individual musical tastes and styles are wide and varied and compliment each other perfectly when combined.

We play a mixture of classic cover songs from the 60's to modern day - and a number of our own inspiring, original compositions.

We can cater for most specific requirements and any specific styles or song lists that you require. Just get in touch for an informal chat.

“ I am writing to thank-you for playing here at Harbour Masters over the last 12 weeks. As you know, we were about to lose our resident musician, so it was perfect that you stepped in when you did. Your weekly Friday night gig was something to look forward to and we witnessed some great performances. The combination was excellent. You brought fantastic harmonies, great feel-good songs and the kind of uplifting energy, enjoyed by staff and customers alike. We look forward to you performing here again soon.”
