SIMPLY FOR - Cover Band - Johannesburg, Gauteng Event Location: Sandton Johannesburg Event Type: Birthday Party 16th September 2021

Jenna Clifford Design Jewellers hosted a birthday celebration for its founder and CEO. We researched we got very recommendations for a few bands. However Lady Bernadette Britton and one of our own customers recommended Godfrey and his team. After Interviewing other bands , we decided on Simply For. From the start they were very professional , always on time for meetings, which made it easy to decide on going with them. Their quote was not the cheapest but very reasonable. On the day of the function they were setup and ready well in advance of our start time. From the start our guests reacted very positively to the bandana the band succeeded in building a repore with our customers. They created a wonderful fun atmosphere for the evening. The were contracted for a number of hours. But they stayed without prompting another hour as they could see how much fun we were having. They never even charged us for the extra time.

Experience

Godfrey Ried not only has a passion for music but for people.
Clients approached him for additional services and as they did, we added additional services to our business offerings.
Working with a DJ who knows the bands repertoire is a value add to a client, so we built a network of DJS and incorporated a DJ offering into our packages.
Today, our DJS are known for professionalism, reliability and making functions memorable when booked with Simply For Band or alone.
From renting gear for restaurant gigs, we now host events with our own gear for up to 3000 people in an open-air envir ... onment.
As our reputation grew so did our inventory with staging and audio-visual equipment. We then ventured into conferences and road shows.
