Big Toy
Based in Sydney
About this act
Nine pieces on stage, with a pumping three piece rhythm section, up to six horns and two very big personalities out front. Big Toy have been working Sydney and the rest of the country since 1997, and the outfit flexes anywhere from four to thirteen players depending on the room. The material spans Cherry Poppin' swing to Kravitz rock, Anastacia dance mixes to Macy Gray soul. They've played the Hordern Pavilion, the Sydney Superdome, Star City Casino, the Darling Harbour Convention Centre, the Australian National Maritime Museum, Fox Studios, Luna Park, Ayers Rock Resort and Stadium Australia, and shared bills with Jimmy Barnes, Christine Anu, John Paul Young, Jon Stevens and Tom Burlinson. Built for people who want the room on its feet from the first bar.
