About
​
Hey there,
My name is Ned Olive. I'm a saxophonist and booking agent based in Sydney, Australia. I coordinate 'Daniel Francis Entertainment’.
What we do
​
‘Daniel Francis Entertainment’ is an agency designed to curate groups of musicians for:
- Weddings and Corporate Events
- House Parties
- Venue Gigs
- TV performances - ‘The Voice’ and other
- Synch music licensing and commissions - Ad music
Years of experience as a gigging full-time musician has enabled me to develop a large network of professional and personable musical colleagues. I listen to clients and assemble groups of musicians that will best suit each given event.
Why the name ‘Daniel Francis’
Daniel Francis Entertainment was founded by Sydney based trumpeter, Jack Purdon. He chose to name the business ‘Daniel Francis’ after his Grandfather, Frank, who was an avid supporter of Jack’s musical endeavours.
Jack and I worked together on ‘Daniel Francis Entertainment’ for years before he passed the business onto me. We decided the business should remain as Daniel Francis Entertainment to honour his Grandfather’s legacy. ​
The Goal
​
​One of my favourite things about music is the way it makes people feel. My goal for every event I play at is to have everyone feeling incredible in their own way. I love the nostalgia, the moments and the memories a great event creates. I especially love how music is always key to that.
​
I try to get a hold of a photo or video from every gig I play. I love capturing and sharing moments that best depict an event in its realest, most raw form. All of the footage on this site reflects the fun and nostalgic times we all have at an event. Some of the photos on this site aren't even of music. Thats because a good event is never just about one thing. Its about the culmination of everything; the music, the location, the people and the moments. I try to take photos and share everything that makes an event great.
​
Feel free to give me a call, text or email to have a chat about your next event.​
