    About this Act

    If you’re looking for an alternative ‘festival style’ duo, you can’t get any more authentic than The Jackaroos. These guys have played all over the world with their music, from exclusive mega yachts, to sell out stadiums across Europe, to intimate and large UK festivals…they’ve done it all! This is the perfect act for music lovers

    Singers Paul and Helen have toured Europe with Simply Red, released an album with Universal Germany and they have been booked from clients all over the world in places such as the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai, Red Square in Moscow and all over Europe.

    For a duo, they have a huge sound. This is achieved through a combination of musical elements including Vocals, piano, guitar and foot drums.  This versatile sound therefore can be tailored to your requirements, from delicate and gentle ceremony accompaniment to foot tapping pre evening drinks and receptions

    Playing songs by Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Lady Gaga, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, David Bowie, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Arctic Monkeys and many more. The acoustic duo have an eclectic repertoire which appeals to all ages and musical tastes.


    The Jackaroos are equally comfortable playing at corporate events, as well as house parties! They are happy to have singers or musicians get up at an event and play or sing with them for a truly interactive musical experience.

    If you’re looking for a great daytime act, with a love of music from across the decades and genres, then look no further than The Jackaroos.
