Hi David,
I just wanted to thank you for providing Antony Pickard for our "Annual Rally" BBQ for the Canterbury Vintage Car Club.
Antony was just wonderful with the crowd.  He played a good range of music and it wasn't too loud, which is always important when people are trying to relax and talk in a picnic atmosphere.
I got many positive comments and feel very encouraged to do something similar next year.
Please pass on my thanks again to Antony.
Many thanks

Hi David   Just wanted to give some feedback on The Rattlers and Mark who played at our Christmas party Saturday night- both Mark and the band were flawless as usual. We’re impressed at how professional Mark remained while there were some delays in our run sheet and were fluid with playing a little longer to “hide” the timings.   The band never fails to get everyone up on the dancefloor with a great mix of songs that appeal to a wide range of or staff. Both last and this year we have had staff raving about the band!   Please pass out thanks on to the team.   Kind regards, Stephanie TODD OIL

The HIPNOTICS @ Mission Estate
When I stumbled across The HIPNOTICS on DGM’s website, I knew I had to book them for my Dad’s surprise 60th birthday party at Mission Estate Winery, Napier. During the party and the following day’s “after party”, conversations began with positive comments and recognition in regards to the band. My two requests to them were a few Van Morrison bangers and to get the guests up on the dance floor. Both of these were fulfilled and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. A special mention to David for his rendition of VM’s ‘Tupelo Honey’, you nailed it and Dad was beyond thrilled. Thank you for making our night extra memorable. To those thinking about booking The HIPNOTICS, just do it. I couldn’t recommend them enough and I would without a doubt, book them again. All the best guys (and Christina), you’re all wonderful.

DJ BENNO 02.03.19 WEDDING WELLINGTON

Hi Ben,

Thank you for all of your hard work as part of our wedding reception – just over a week ago now.

We received a lot of really positive comments back from guests on the music and appreciated the professionalism that you brought to our reception event – someone even remarking that you are the best dressed DJ in Wellington!.

We’ve had friends say how hard it is to find a good DJ in Wellington, however your preparation and willingness to work with us (and the MC on the night) helped make the reception a great success.

Thanks again, and we will definitely be in touch if we need a DJ in the future.

Cheers,

Mike and Sarah.

DOGTOWN
David Greer and his new band DOGTOWN are simply fantastic. They had our hotel (The Royal) in Featherston absolutely rocking during their debut gig here. This is a band that literally stops you in your tracks and pulls you in with its astonishing sound ... something very special. David's original songs are stunning and its somewhat of a mystery how this man and his music are not well known to us all. Backed by Shapeshifter and Holly Smith drummer Darren Mathiassen, alongside legendary bassist Ross McDemot who has played with the likes of Dave Dobbyn, Midge Marsden, and When The Cats Away, these guys combine with a  dynamic chemistry that is spell binding. We are very excited to be having DOGTOWN return soon to The Royal.

Review
Charlotte Yates returned after the interval with two more songs from the "Beggar's Choice" CD, performing these with the engaging informality that one would perhaps encounter in a club or a bar. Described as a "gentle pop" number, the first song delineates a fruitless search somewhere in Spain for a flamenco club, while the following "Blood Red Moon" in classic ballad style, described the effect of the previous year's lunar eclipse - a stirring number , delivered with great panache and whimsy' Her first album Queen Charlotte Sounds was released in 1991. The single Red Letter was an APRA Silver Scroll finalist. Melbourne-based from 1993 to 1996, Charlotte directed the 1993/1994 Melbourne Fringe Arts Festivals. She studied Contemporary Music Technology and Composition at La Trobe University, Melbourne during 1995. Recorded in Sydney, her second album, The Desire and the Contempt won the Singer-Songwriter category at the 1997 Wellington Music Awards.

Dear David, The Lions Tour has come to an end. Ovation Business Theatre would like to thank you for your input and involvement during the tour. Being the largest ever corporate hospitality event this country has ever seen, numerous suppliers were required. We are proud of the team we had working on this event. Your contribution in sourcing, contracting and delivering top class bands during the tour was much appreciated. Quite clearly this was the largest portion of the ‘Show’ and Ovation was very pleased to have you on board from the early stages to deliver and meet expected outcomes. Your knowledge and contacts within the industry were invaluable during the operation. We thank you for your professional working relationship and look forward to future events in which we may be able to work together.

5th year running
This will be the 5th year running that we have had Shaun entertain at our Staff Christmas function. We keep asking him back because each year he just gets better. Shaun always manages to get people up on the dance floor and keep them there – simply from the choice and range of the music that he sings. He is always a true professional whose enthusiasm for entertaining people shines through with every performance.

No song was too difficult and we got exactly what we requested, even a choice of which tartan he wore!!! He was on time, and was immaculately presented. Would highly recommend Stu to anyone considering a piper... and definitely do have a piper... there's only so many weddings the guests need to hear "A Thousand Years"... great work Stu!

Better than the Original
Just wanted to say thanks so much you guys were amazing, we got so many comments on how you were by far the best covers band we ever heard. We have passed your details onto 3 of our engaged friends so far and I’m sure 2 of them will definitely be in touch. Your version of “All I Want Is You” was so good I think I liked it better than the original lol, speaking of which I don’t suppose you guys ever record your stuff? If you had a copy of that cover we would be very keen to buy it of you? Once again thanks so much I was so stoked you guys truly were incredible. Oh and thanks so much for letting Steve play with you for a song, it meant a lot to me. Please pass my thanks on to the rest of the band! - Richie (Groom)

You will not be disappointed
I am very happy to provide a reference for Madsen Promotions, and welcome personal phone calls from anyone wishing to discuss the suitability of this band for their social event. In my capacity as Director of Events for VetLearn (NZ Veterinary Assn), I have used this band on a number of occasions for conference dinners - most recently this has been at the NZVA Conference Gala Dinner; I also attended the CANZ (Conference Assn NZ) Conference in Nelson, where this group had been engaged to provide entertainment for the main conference dinner. I have found this group reliable organisationally, and their music has always proved extremely popular with a conference group. Their 'covers' often sound better than the originals, and the vocal quality and range of their lead singer is quite outstanding. Their repertoire is varied and extensive, with particular strengths in the music of the Bee Gees, Freddie Mercury, and Neil Diamond. You will not be disappointed. Yours faithfully Warren Webber CEO & Director of Events Division VetLearn Foundation NZVA

Fantastic well known classic songs
I just want to thank you on behalf of Agility Logistics Ltd for playing at our Brand Launch. Although not an easy venue in terms of acoustics and setting sound levels we thought you did an amazing job of balancing between being in the background and also creating an atmosphere of performance excellence. I had a lot of feedback from our customers and suppliers about how good the band was. People were particularly impressed with the range of music you played and the gradual change from easy listening jazz numbers to fantastic well known classic songs performed with freshness and originality. It really was a pleasure for everyone to have you at our event and it certainly made it a memorable and successful one for us. I can speak on behalf of our team in saying we would recommend you guys to anyone and would be more than happy to be a reference for anyone considering having you play at their function. Best regards, Grant Lowe Branch Manager Agility,

Exceeded my expectations
I just wanted to thank the band for a great evening on Saturday. You exceeded my expectations, with the high quality of your music, versatility & range plus overall willingness to listen to what we were looking for the party.  Everyone agreed that you were fantastic and the ideal band to set the background mood for a great night.  I would have you back again for any event I organise.  Thank you and I wish you all the best success in future.

"One More Song!"
Whitewash played at our wedding two weeks ago and they rocked! They played songs the crowd loved and at the end of the night we heard chants of "One More Song!". They have an extensive playlist and also learnt our first dance song and did a fantastic job of it! They are professional to deal with and were really flexible with all our requests. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good covers band! Thank you Whitewash!

FIVE STARS
FIVE STARS - We booked Whitewash for our beach/garden wedding in Waitakere after hearing them play in Matakana.  They have a fantastic repertoire and played an amazing set tailored just to us - they even learned a special song for our first dance.  We had so many people telling us how impressed they were with the band, even the people who 'don't dance' couldn't help but get up and jump around.  The guys literally played until their fingers bled!  When the night ended everyone called for an encore and I'm still getting requests for their contact details.  Friendly, professional, and totally the coolest covers band.  We had so much fun, thank you for topping off an amazing day.  Wish we could fly you back to the UK for wedding part two!

AMP XMAS PARTY 
7 NOV 2014 AMP XMAS PARTY Becks and Michael were wonderful, everybody I've spoken to has said they thought they were great (and I think so too). They were really professional but still friendly and happy to have a drink and a chat with us during the night. They were really flexible in terms of setting up as we decided to have the dancing in a different place in the end, and it wasn't a problem for them. And the singing was amazing of course! They are both very talented and looked like they were having fun. Thanks for a great recommendation, I'll definitely be recommending them to friends etc.

"You will not be disappointed!” 
“Becks and Michael provided the entertainment for the ‘Miss North Harbour’ beauty pageant that I was involved with organising. They were incredibly professional and accommodating, and were a perfect fit for our show. They even went above and beyond the call of duty when the judges took longer than expected to make their decisions. What could have proved to be a disaster turned out to be an unexpected success as neither of them thought twice when asked to carry on and kept singing until the judges finally came to a decision. I would highly recommend hiring them for any event you may be organising – you will not be disappointed!” - Tanya Jackson M.A.C Cosmetics

What a fabulous night!
  "What a fabulous night! Outstanding, that one phone call and a very short meeting at the venue, was all it took for you to grasp the type of event we wanted to create. Your suggested jazz segment at the beginning of the evening set the scene and when Super Highway came on a little later, their high energy performance took our event to where we had hoped... and beyond. The energy of the band, the song choices, the up beat nature of Super Highways performance and the way the band interacted with our guests (on and off stage) - getting everyone involved is a talent. The enthusiasm you created on the evening was infectious. You had people up dancing and doing conga lines that normally don't get up at events. Everybody that attended our event has contacted us with raving reviews..." Michelle Brown Director Reel Direct

Hi Kellie 
Jason and his band were absolutely brilliant. The feed back has been nothing short of staggering and over whelming from the guests in regards to Jason’s performance, he read the crowd and they danced the night away. Jason’s relaxed non stressful attitude really made the difference. I would have no hesitation in recommending Take Note for any performance and in fact my wife’s company will be looking to secure these guys for a function later in the year. Again thanks very much. Please forward this on Jason (Mate you rock!!!!! Thanks again for your brilliant act)

I highly recommend the Gee Bees
We're a small club in a small rural community and the guys were probably a bit apprehensive when they arrived in our "blink-and-you-miss-it" village, but as happens in these little places, everyone comes out of the woodwork on big nights and the club was packed with happy little bee gee fans. The guys are very friendly and made for a very pleasant afternoon before the gig while they were setting up. Our members are still talking about it today, so thanks very much! For your next function I can highly recommend the Gee Bees."

50th Birthday: THE HIPNOTICS

"I wanted to drop you a note to (formally) thank you for a truly fantastic performance from the Hipnotics at my 50th Do at Prefab Hall  last night. I stopped counting the number of people that came up to me during the night to say how fantastic the band were - and in the next breath what  an amazing singer and performer the lead singer (Christina) is. It has been a similar theme this morning. I have received numerous texts and emails from friends saying what a great night they had and, without exception, everyone has mentioned the band. I was pretty confident that the band would be good, as my husband Matt is a musician and did a bit of research choosing them. However they far exceeded both Matt and my expectations. They really made the party - and I now have very sore feet from dancing. In short, the Hipnotics are a class act and they are an absolute credit to your agency. Cheers and thanks". Sarah Kemp

The band were fantastic - same as last year. Our staff had a great time
 and really enjoy the band. They play to the crowd, were very obliging
 with the quiet dinner music and then ramped things right up once the
party started. 
I don't think the dance floor was less than completely full from the
minute the dance music started.

Hi Greg and Linda A slightly late note....to say thank you very much for travelling into the provinces to play for us at Rivercelts in July. Those who had worked with you or heard you play before assured me that you would be absolutely wonderful, and they were right. The ceilidh was a huge success, as you saw, no doubt due in part to the advertising of your attendance. So, thank you for you attendance, and expertise, and for a jolly good evening. Kind regards

Just wanted to let you know that the band were absolutely fantastic & everyone at the party including some friends who are in their own bands raved about them. I spoke to Jason on the night & thanked him for really making it a great night as we all know that the music can make or break a party. The floor was packed the whole time. Would recommend them in a heartbeat
The only down side was that it had to end!!
So please pass on to Jason & the band again that they were fantastic & really accommodating and helped to make a fantastic birthday. Thanks

We let Sarah choose what songs to play to get all the guests up dancing and that is exactly what happened. 90% of the guests were dancing which was a great sight. Sarah has an amazing voice and we have been referring Coverstory to everyone. "They are the perfect party band."

The HIPNOTICS 6 dec 2014 ROTARY CONFERENCE DINNER A quick note to thank you all for your efforts and to report that the punters loved the night! The venue looked spectacular, the music was spot on and not too loud, the meal was delicious and everyone I spoke to had a wonderful time. We also raised $11,000 for the world-wide fight against polio. So all in all – a top class event that sold people on Wellington and that we do things extremely professionally in this ‘capital' location. Regards Howard

Milford Reserve
We have had so many expressions of thanks for the pleasure the concert brought to people. It was a delight to see the audience appreciating the true musicianship you each brought to the performance. Your song selection was perfectly suited to the heritage theme, but I also think your arrangements gave them a unique feel that was distinctly your and the band's own style. People not just in the marquee but all over the Milford Reserve enjoyed your lovely rich tones and the sheer pleasure of an afternoon of jazz. We thank you for sharing your talent and professionalism with us and would certainly like to engage you in future years".

7 NOV 2014 AMP XMAS PARTY Becks and Michael were wonderful, everybody I've spoken to has said they thought they were great (and I think so too). They were really professional but still friendly and happy to have a drink and a chat with us during the night. They were really flexible in terms of setting up as we decided to have the dancing in a different place in the end, and it wasn't a problem for them. And the singing was amazing of course! They are both very talented and looked like they were having fun. Thanks for a great recommendation, I'll definitely be recommending them to friends etc. You made things really easy and were very helpful too David, so thanks very much for that. It made the process much easier. The only thing I would add is that the credit card charge for using Paypal worked out to be quite high, but I understand that there are limited options for online credit card payment (and we could have done it through an invoice too) so it's not a big issue. Kind regards, Louise

Thank you, from all your fans
Just wanted to say thanks again for Saturday night, everyone had a great time (though some couldn't last longer than 9pm, they'd been there 12 hours already ).Your music was heard half way round the world, a mobile phone call to the UK while you were playing, and it was loud and clear. Thank you, from all your fans at Redwood Park

There were also a number of comments on how great the lead singer's voice was. As we have a very wide age range within our business it was great to hear how everyone enjoyed them. Please pass on my sincere thanks to The Hipnotics - there were great. Many thanks Anna anna.dickinson@beca.com
