Photo of Ginger & Tonic Ginger & Tonic "The last show we saw was Gold Dust Woman, but I have been to almost all the shows and they keep getting better. Beautiful Charlotte and the talented band are such a great secret. Don't tell all the tourists! Alexa and I love squeezing into the Blue Door, it feels like a French cabaret, only funnier!! I always have a good buzzy earworm stuck in my head for days. Keep up the good work G&T xx 11 out of 10!!"

It truly set the perfect tone" Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (1,337 miles from Wanaka) 16th May 2026 Suminda Photo of Jump’n’Jive - Adelaide Jump’n’Jive - Adelaide "Their musical talent, And all around genuine nice guys! And they don’t do what most 50s 60s rock ‘n’ roll bands do ... go off on their own tangent , they stick to the agenda and they do it SO well !! You can actually dance to all their amazing music! 🎤🎸🥁🎸🥰 Wait ‘til you hear “Cry to me” ! A standing ovation the first time they performed it ! 😍 We love this band, It proves you don’t need quantity, just quality! We even had them play at our wedding last year! 10/10 💃🕺" Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia (1,743 miles from Wanaka) Joy Baxter Photo of Eu4ria Eu4ria "Jason's group performed wonderfully at the end year corporate Gig. It was the first time we hosted with a band, we often get a DJ to play music. The music they played was amazing and very hip I recommend him for future gigs." Based in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa (6,702 miles from Wanaka) Jeff Daniels - Corporate Gig Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (7,609 miles from Wanaka) Ashley V - Corporate Party Photo of Jazz Hutch & Friends Jazz Hutch & Friends "A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song." Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (8,043 miles from Wanaka) 12th October 2026 Kurt Elling - Acclaimed International Jazz Singer
