Hailing from Scotland and now a cornerstone of the Auckland event scene, Frankie Mac blends classical pedigree with legendary stage energy. He commands any room with undeniable charisma, bringing decades of theatrical and musical discipline to every performance.
Trained as a professional percussionist at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD), Frankie is a world-class composer and the visionary director behind every Elite Events production.
Beyond his session work for film and television, Frankie has personally created, managed, and continues to perform in a stable of world-class tribute acts. From the high-voltage energy of Lead Zipline (Led Zeppelin) and Doors Live, to the anthemic shows of Oasis and the Red Hot Chilli Preppers, his finger is on the pulse of every performance.
His decorated career includes recording the soundtrack for the 1985 movie 'Solo' (UK Channel 4) and session history with Deacon Blue, Eddie Reader, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Elite Events houses all of Frankie's creative acts—from the tribal power of Clan Celtica to the jazz-fusion grooves of Bad Kangaroo.
