When you're event planning a wedding filled with vintage charm, glamour, and timeless romance, Greg Poppleton's music of the 1920s is a perfect match.

As Australia’s only authentic 1920s–1930s swing jazz singer and I bring these classics to life no-one else in Australia can:

  1. It Had to Be You – The perfect first dance
(which I sang to my wife at my own wedding)

  2. Ain’t Misbehavin’ – Perfect for cocktail hour

  3. The Charleston – Dance floor guaranteed

  4. Always – A romantic waltz about commitment

  5. My Blue Heaven – A joyful send-off or upbeat number

Bonus Tip: Make it unforgettable with live jazz from Greg Poppleton and band of world-toured musicians — bringing 1920s glamour and charm to weddings across Australia.

I'm an all-round entertainer, Australia’s only authentic 1920s–1930s swing jazz singer, award-winning swing radio broadcaster, and professional actor.

In 2001 I made my movie debut in a one-on-one scene with Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge! and have since been in one-on-one movie scenes with Adrien Brody and John Goodman.

TV roles include Barons (ABC), The Last Days of the Space Age (Disney +), Year Of (Stan), Mother and Son (ABC) and many more.

As a singer, my preferred music since childhood is swing and jazz from the 1920s and 1930s so I've absorbed the style naturally.

My vocal training is from opera singer and NYC club owner, Steve Ostrow, who himself was trained by two of the greatest tenors of the 20th Century, Tito Schipa and Lauritz Melchior.

Steve launched the careers of Bette Midler and Barry Manilow, relaunched Peter Allen's career (I have a role on TV in 'The Peter Allen Story'), and he booked such jazz greats as Sarah Vaughan, Josephine Baker, Cab Calloway and Margaret Whiting.
