What I Do
I help people make significant moments in their lives highly memorable. Whether it’s a significant birthday, a wedding, a Christmas party or even a shop opening, I will contribute to making that event remembered and talked about in the years that follow.
Need a Singer, Band or Musician?
I can perform solo, as a 2-piece, 3-piece, 4-piece or 5-piece band.

I once read a quote that said, “Collect memories, not things”. When we eventually face our mortality, it will be remembering the experiences we have shared with the people close to us that will help us to reflect upon a life well lived.
Slide and the band performed at our wedding at home in Narara 27th Sept 2025. We can’t praise them enough, so much fun, all our guests, as well as the neighbours, love the music. Highly recommend.

Slide McBride played at our recent 60th birthday celebration and were PHENOMENAL!!!! Everyone raved about the band and danced all night. They instantly created the party atmosphere we were hoping for. Would book them again any day for a celebration and I recommend them to people who want a versatile playlist, some acoustic and some louder stuff and are happy to leave the detail up to Slide.
In the lead up to the event Slide was brilliant organising the requirements. He is responsive and versatile. Doesn’t need a lot of detail because he’s a professional and just knows what to do. Made the entertainment side of things so easy.

Where to begin… I booked Slide McBride for my wedding in Oct 24. I originally booked Slide after spending a good six hours searching wedding bands online and realising that they were all starting to sound the same to me. Then I discovered Slide – I was sold from the first video on the website.
Communication was seamless, booking was easy and very reasonably priced. The band were incredibly professional yet spontaneous and fun, throwing in extra flourishes and that made the evening. They provided great jazz-style music during dinner, then ramped it up for the dancing. Guests LOVED them, and did not want to stop dancing at the end of the night! If you love good live music and want your wedding to be a proper party BOOK THEM.

Slide and his band were fantastic, playing at Jen’s 60th at our place in Taralga , and then at the Argyle Inn the next afternoon .
All the classic rock n roll tunes – the band were professional and tight , catering to all generations on the dance floor .
We definitely recommend Slide McBride and his band!

Slide and his two piece was the perfect combination to entertain our guests during pre-dinner drinks. He had loads of personality and was lovely to deal with. I’ll be booking him and his band for future events!

Slide McBride was a great addition to our End of Year Staff Party – very flexible to accommodate the brief, very engaging and great at providing an amazing atmosphere with his diverse musical talent. Highly recommend.
– Jen Laub
These guys were terrific for our conference dinner band! They just knew exactly what to play and at what pace for the eating part, and really got the delegates up and dancing when the formalities were over. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!
