Valentine's Tonic
Duo · Based in Hobart · Travels up to 50km
About this act
Sonia Valentine sings, with Peter Hope or Jack Delaney on acoustic guitar, and both are trained musicians. Hobart based, and the repertoire is genuinely large: 60s through to 2025, chilled or up tempo, most genres represented. Two thirds of it is straight guitar and voice, the rest uses a backing track, and those can be stripped back to acoustic if that suits your room better. Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison, the Beatles, Clapton and Nina Simone all feature. They'll take a few requests and shape the sets around the event, up to four of them. Community events, weddings, licensed venues and private parties are their usual work. A power point is the only real requirement.
