Singers for Hire in Otago, New Zealand

Gary plays at our venue regularly and never fails to bring the house down with his unique voice and upbeat set list. Always a pleasure.

An exercise in knowing one's audience, and trumping one's own stereotypes, Two Brunettes & a Gay was so tongue-in-cheek it was deep throating itself. In an evening of salacious, ostentatious and fabulous entertainment, this self-professed "cabaGAY" show took audiences gleefully through generations of songs accompanied with a delicious cocktail of personalities. Despite this reviewer's reservations regarding the sobriety with which their place in the audience was taken, the evening was pure enjoyment. Sisters Deanna and Celeste Kangas tripled up with Aaron Collis during their days performing for children, but have discovered similar talents shaking up the city of churches with their bawdy humour, individual personas of ballbreaker, bitch and booze-hound respectively, and polished vocals. The audience were more than willing to vouch for them and get on board with the jokes of the evening, even getting involved in the sauciness themselves as each performer showed the chops to tackle a rowdy bunch of 10pm Fringe-goers. A delectable evening, fraught with the kind of debauchery and delirium that makes you want to take both your extramarital lovers!

I had the pleasure of being entertained by Christopher Graves on the Carnival Pride on 2/7/17. He has a great voice and is an entertainer who truly interacts with his audience. I can see that he enjoys making people happy.

We had the pleasure of Chris performing as a secret Singing Waiter for our Wedding. What an amazing surprise from start to finish Chris Sang and got everyone up on there feet during the Wedding Breakfast. Can't THANKYOU enough. Excellent Voice. along with your Entertaining .

Good morning Jay, Just a note to say that we have had excellent feedback following our Hogmanay Hoot last week, many thanks for all your efforts to make this a success, which was much appreciated by all those who attended especially after the disappointment we had in 2015. I have been asked to make a provisional booking with you for 2017, appreciate well in advance but if you can take this now then that sort of gets it done and dusted so to speak. Let me know what you think, will see you in March in any event for the Curling Club Dinner dance. Regards, Ken

Steve Simone is a fantastic act. He has always delivered a great show for us, wherever we put him. Both on land and at sea, he never fails to get the crowds going and make sure that everyone heads off dancing into the night!

Just a quick note to thank you for attending my wife’s party at the weekend. We all had a great time and everyone thoroughly enjoyed your performances. You are the talk of my dance club and we would love to see you again some time.

Carly is a consummate professional as a singer and entertainer. She's easy to work with, accepts direction when needed and happy to lend her amazing voice to charitable projects as well as for profit gigs.

David Atmore is highly recommended for any event, very professional, awesome stage presence & great showmanship for all size audience

"A real swingin' band and you croon like a champ!" – ALAN PAUL (Manhattan Transfer) “There’s a kind of intimate quality to his voice. An honesty that is really remarkable and mellifluous…and rich.” ROBERT ENRIGHT – GLOBE & MAIL "One of the finest singers on the jazz scene today. Wolfe is forging new ground and steers clear of the rigid guidelines that ensnare most jazz musicians...he is his own man!" PAUL DEBOY - XTRA MAGAZINE "His tender and resolute voice uncannily captures the ebb and flow of the human heart...outstanding!" - METRO TIMES, DETROIT "Drips with feeling and shows Wolfe's attuned sense of phrasing and timing...he leaves just enough space to keep the listener hooked. A versatile singer who hits the mark with each tune!" – DAVE NATHAN, AMG "Wolfe's voice is a sweet, reverberating tenor perfect for his material…Conveys both serenity and strong emotion, knowing just when to lay back and when to pour it on…" - CADENCE MAGAZINE "A pure and subtle voice…wonderful to listen to!" - DETOUR MAGAZINE "A clean, lean sexy sound. His singing is tight and right on!" - THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT "Takes well-rewarded chances vocally…an exciting performer!" - BOSTON PHOENIX "So fine…he's been blessed with a golden sound." MARLENA SHAW "This versatile vocalist seems at ease with whatever he decides to sing…catch him when you can!" - TORONTO JAZZ "Canada has spawned still another excellent jazz performer! With his soft but effective delivery, his ability to swing and to caress a slow ballad, Wolfe has the vocal tools to be ranked high on the male jazz vocalist roster, which could use some good new blood." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE

My experience on the QE2, QM2 and Carnival Australia, as Maitre d'hotel leads me to thank Charlie Griffin for his performance on the Pacific Sun on my watch, for cruises from New Zealand to the Fiji Islands and beyond. He was rotated daily amongst 3 differing venues. His music was always appropriate - never the wrong tune or sound, never too loud. He was constantly aware of surroundings, weather and atmosphere as we travelled. He has an intuitive and ability to move with the crowd's mood. His extensive repertoire made song requests easy. He was careful to limit his repertoire at the Pool, to voice and guitar mostly, reserving his repertoire with excellent backtracks for later in Smugglers Bar, or the Ball Room. On cocktail nights, he adjusted his play accordingly, constantly keeping an eye on the scene. He plays with diligence and knowledge, has an excellent voice, is stylistically versatile and coaxes really tasteful sounds out of the guitar. He was chosen to perform at the Captain’s cocktail function On a hot afternoon in the Pacific islands, I passed through the outer decks to find Charlie playing to a subdued, quiet crowd who were sat reading or lay back sleeping in the late afternoon shade around the pool. He played all the right songs, even getting guests to lift their heads in acknowledgement - a pleasing and soothing sight to an afternoon tea time situation. Bravo! I highly recommend him for any kind of functon. Craig Hammond
