TUCAN

Duo, dance party band, wide repertoire, top function band

Bellbird, NSW, Australia

"Tucan" are Pam and Les Gully, a musical entertainment duo from the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia.

Pam & Les have spent the last 20 years playing their favourites to diverse audiences.
From the club and function venues at home near Newcastle, Australia to luxury cruising in the South Pacific and USA - to the pubs of London and the ski and sun resorts of Europe, they have developed a repertoire and presentation that can adapt to any audience.
From what was originally essentially a 60's/70's party, Tucan's repertoire has naturally expanded and matured to encompass songs from all popular styles. The best of new titles as well as the classic standards are constantly being added and updated.
Tucan love all kinds of music and so draw their material from a list of about 800 of the greatest songs of the 20th century. Additions come mainly from audience requests. "A receptive audience knows best what we ought to learn for their pleasure", says Pam, "the main requirement of a song is that one or both of us can sing it well". When asked that often baffling question, "What sort of music do you play?", Les will usually reply, "Songs you know the words to!".
Great vocals, fun patter, guitar, keyboard, harmonica and Les' tasteful, authentic backing arrangements comprise the sound.

With their experience, Tucan are expert at functions, not just playing "some songs", but catering to the ambience. They can adapt to any room or situation.  Helping you have a good time is their idea of a great lifestyle!
As the spokesperson of a leading vineyard function venue said recently, "We've had them all here over the years and we've decided you're the only ones who know how to party!" Enough said.
