The Party Singers
"Absolutely brilliant night at our MUNZ Mid Winter Xmas Do on the 27th July at the Loons in Lyttelton. Can't thank The Party Singers enough. I have heard nothing but great comments regarding that night. IN FACT the crowd wished you would've kept going onto the early Hours 😅 they didn't want you to leave even after your 4hrs of NON STOP entertainment!! In all honesty it was the first time in 3 years that I have seen so many up on the dance floor and the Oldies stick around and Boogie the night away. FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much we will definitely re book you again for the next one. Very very happy thanks again"
The Queen Bees
"The Queen Bees were a fantastic addition to our event. Their performance was elegant, stylish and perfectly suited to the occasion. The musicians were extremely professional, with a lovely stage presence and beautiful musical arrangements. They added a very special touch to the evening and were appreciated by all our guests."
Boom Unit Brass Band
"These guys did an amazing job at the Livermush festival! It got people on their feet and attention. It’s always worth investing in live music especially when it’s a bass brand."
Skyline Club Band
"We had the band booked in Chur. Absolutely fantastic for our company anniversary. Lounge music, and a party where everyone danced, which we had never had before. The DJ was also very good. Communication was a bit slow, but very good."
Whiskey & Shades Country Band
"Whiskey & Shades were fantastic at the Little Country Fest! Great country vibes, brilliant music, and an amazing atmosphere. They really got the crowd going and made it a memorable festival. Definitely a band worth seeing live!"
Drunk’NFunk
"I've seen a few performances already. Every time, sparkling, energetic, and the fun just splashes off of it. Tasty music from excellent musicians who are well attuned to each other. Enjoying it again and again every time!"
