Guitar Teaching
With no personal tution I had tried on several occasions to teach myself the Guitar. Not having succeeded years went by with big gaps in trying to learn enough to get started. I decided to seek help and was fortunate to discover Simon. In a very short time Simon rekindled my interest and motivation to learn. I was so lucky to find that Simon was so patient and with a non intimidating teaching manner that I was soon making significant improvement. Furthermore I can say that I am having so much fun and I repositioned my guitar in such a way I could pick it at almost any time often for just a few minutes of learning and enjoying many of the old songs of my youth.

Private Party in Leawood Gardens, Aug 2025
The crowd was definitely pleased! Simon and Aden performed beautifully under the gum trees at our outdoor gathering. Their playlist matched and enhanced the mood creating an enjoyable and memorable event. Simon and Aden were very professional and easy to work with. They were a big hit!

Birthday Party in Yankalilla, May 2025
Absolutely amazing! Totally understood the brief of what we wanted! Everyone was raving about Simon and Aden! We had 3 different musicians at this event and these two were by far the stand outs! I wish I had known when I booked that they also had a further band component. Highly recommend these guys!!! 10/10

Jennifer's Pub or Club Gig in Mt Barker, Jan 2025
We recently had the pleasure of hosting Aden & Simon in our beer garden, and they delivered an outstanding performance that truly elevated the atmosphere. Their repertoire featured a fantastic range of classics that had our crowd singing along and tapping their feet throughout the afternoon. As requested, it was just the right chill vibes for our new years day afternoon. Would fully recommend. Thank you, Aden & Simon, for a great afternoon. We look forward to having you back in the future!

Wedding McLaren Vale Nov 2024
Where did you find these guys, they are AWESOME - is what we heard countless times at our amazing wedding. When we booked Aden and Simon music duo for our wedding in November it was a bit of a leap of faith. We had seen some clips and we were impressed by their music but also the fact that they rearranged songs that they performed. We got in touch, met for a coffee and chatted music and other things for an hour. It was evident from that meeting we had made the right choice for us. We didn’t have a list of songs for them to play just a feeling after meeting them that they knew our vibe and they would just go off that. We were not disappointed. The day started seamlessly when I arrived at the venue I saw Simon and asked if we could help set up. It’s all done he replied - one less thing to do then. We had them for the whole day and the brief was start off slowly and finish with a bang. They delivered. Acoustic music for our guests led into our special walk down the aisle song (acoustic style) which they learnt just for us, thanks guys. After the wedding some more beautiful acoustic music and then it was time for reception and speeches, these were aided by their generous offer of using a wireless mic which made things so easy. After the reception the party really kicked up a notch. The duo was now a four piece band that played funky party music where our guests danced up a storm. Mixed in with some nostalgic treats from back in the day - who are these guys and where did you get them became a regular query. To top it all off we added a saxophonist to end the night on a high. Our night ended with a medley of - one more !!! which the band were happy to oblige. Absolute legends all of them. Thankyou Aden, Simon, Audrey, Alex and Alevia. We had such a memorable wedding and you guys were a massive part of it. We would do it all again in a heartbeat. Cheers.

Wedding in McLaren Vale Nov 2024
Aden and Simon were absolutely amazing. They had a meet and greet with us, learnt songs per our request and touched base multiple times. So professional, yet so relaxed. Accommodated and played our personal song we made too. Very friendly and talkative to all our guests. I couldn't recommend these two enough ❤️ you helped make our day special and we can't thank you enough. Aden with his angel voice and Simon with his too many fingers for one hand! Played like no other, thanks again guys! x

Guitar Student
I have known Simon for many years and have recently started learning the guitar from him. He is excellent. If you are looking for a guitar teacher, I would be surprised if you could do better.
He is an extremely nice and courteous man and respectful of where you are at in your guitar journey. He is a fine guitarist himself, and also deeply knowledgeable about music more generally. I could not want a better teacher, and recommend him to others, with confidence.

60th Birthday in Launceston Tas Oct 2024
A fabulous, fully professional duo who went above and beyond to make my event a terrific success! Many of my friends said on the night or the following week how great they were, with the dance floor packed . Such a wide range of excellent songs and even getting them over from Adelaide they were still good value. Would I recommend Aden and Simon? You bet I would and so would my 105 guests!

Aden and Simon was absolutely amazing. We had a very fantastic night during my husband's birthday party. The choice of music that they played was perfect for everyone. They were very easy to deal with and responds quickly to our inquiries during the planning and was at the venue early. Definitely recommend having this two at your event.

Home Celebration in Christies Beach, Mar 2024
Aden and Simon were absolutely fantastic right for the point of engagement to the end of the night. I had a backyard party and they were very accomodating. All of my friends have commented how great they were too. Fabulous play list, engaging with the crowd. Do yourself a favour and book Aden and Simon, you will not be disappointed in any way. ENJOY 😁

Guitar Student
Perfect! Simon is an excellent teacher and guitar player, he is also very knowledgeable about music and instruments themselves, and shows his student things that would be hard to know or learn otherwise. He visually shows the correct hand placements and takes learning mistakes with grace and patience, while also writing down everything taught for later practice. Highly recommend for lessons to any level of guitar, and he’s also just a great person!
