The Mark Wells Duo are determined to entertain at all costs. With a repertoire that can set a perfect chilled out vibe, right through to cranking out hit after hit on the dance floor, the Mark Wells Duo tailors their show to your needs. Mark’s versatility and his multi-instrumental duo lineups can play acoustic guitar, vocals, saxophone, drums and electric guitar, allowing them to create a big sound from just the two of them.
Their gigs have built a reputation of being straight out, pure fun. Throw any weird and wonderful request their way – there’s nothing that Mark doesn’t like to play. He just loves great songs and making things as entertaining, and memorable, as possible.
From new and classic party staples like “Shake it Off” or “The Way You Make Me Feel”, to acoustic versions of electro-bangers like “Lean On”, there’s no style they won’t take on. Sing-a-longs like “The Horses” get the whole crowd singing, while rock anthems like “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters make you feel it in your gut. Mark loves playing country hits like Johnny Cash’s “Fulsom Prison Blues”, or going 70’s with “Take it Easy”.
The number of wedding, function and repeat bookings Mark’s duo receives up to two years in advance is a testament to his talent and his entertaining live show.

The entertainment went fantastic. As always with Mark – brilliant performance. His performances were fantastic, interacted with the guests and any requests were no trouble. We received really good feedback from guests again about him and everyone definitely seemed to enjoy their night! We might be partied out for a little now haha but Mark definitely is our go to for any future events as well as our family.

Mark Wells, we have no words to describe how good he was. He read the crowd so well and interacted well with them. Everyone was up dancing and he made it so personal in every way. Everyone kept commenting on how good his performance was and how they created an amazing atmosphere for the dance floor.
He was unbelievable along with Jason Bone. We could not recommend him highly enough! EAO made the whole process so easy and stress free. We had no idea how smoothly it would go but everything just flowed so well.
We are just so speechless and impressed with The Mark Wells Duo-UNBELIEVABLE!! We were just saying today how lucky we were that we were able to book Mark Wells. It was the absolute best!!”

Mark Wells Duo recently played at our 40th Hockey Club Anniversary. They certainly kept us entertained all night & everyone was up dancing from the very first song. Highlights included “Nutbush City Limits”. I can highly recommend them for any event.

Thank you so much for all your help in organising Mark and Jason to play at our wedding on Saturday. The guys did such an amazing job and kept the dance floor full all night which is just what we wanted.Even though it rained, everything went off without a hitch and we couldn’t be happier with how it all played out. I hope the guys had as much fun as our guests did. I have never so many different dance styles in one night! Thanks again for all your help. I have passed your details onto a few friends regarding the band as well so hopefully a few more booking will come your way.

On the night the boys were fantastic! They were well organised, professional and provided great value for money by entertaining our guests all night long. We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by them and EAO and will definitely be recommending to others that they give you a call for any entertainment needs!

Just a quick (and belated post-honeymoon) note to thank you so much for organising The Mark Wells Duo to play at our wedding. Mark and Cameron were absolutely fantastic and made an already great day even better. They were a big hit with all our guests and exceeded our expectations. So many people commented to us about how great they were – and that was only one or two songs in! Please pass on our thanks for their amazing performance.
– Colin & Kerrie | Wedding
All our guests absolutely loved the duo and were complimenting them all night. The night was just perfect and we can not thank the duo enough for the fantastic performance. Almost every guest came up to us and asked about the duo and thought they were all were outstanding. Also a huge thanks to Mark Wells for his MCing as well, it was so appreciated and was really well done so thanks so much. A big thanks to Jason as well, as everyone loved the sax. We couldn’t speak highly/recommend you guys enough to anyone. Thanks again!
