"Hi Nicole"
OMG how good is Matt Hetherington. He totally wowed everyone in the room. You couldn't move on the dance floor in fact it was overflowing. Matt was so chilled and obliging and gave 150%. The hip hop number went over amazingly. Everyone loved Matt and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. His band was great and worked so hard. We are extremely happy.
Cheers
Ros and the Dine for a Cure team.
"Hi Ella,
Matt Hetherington was superb, songs were great and interaction with our guests was spot on.
WALK LIKE A MAN - (A Salutè To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons) performed brilliantly and certainly got everyone up on the dance floor. Made John"s birthday night a very special night! We would have no hesitation in using Matt and the band again. Please pass on our appreciation."

We really enjoyed the performance of the Tim Campbell Band at our recent Gala Night. The band was really great and Tim himself was a “ball of energy” during his performance – he was terrific."

"Hi Laura
Housequake were fabulous!!! Every person at the function on Friday night has said the band were excellent, extremely entertaining. I have received nothing but rave reviews about them and would highly recommend them to anyone. They played a great mix of music that catered perfectly to our varied ages of guests and constantly had the dance floor full.
On behalf of our Social Committee I would like to thank both the band and the people at bandshop for their professionalism during the organisation of the function and on the night itself. The band were fabulous, they worked into our schedule even after we were running behind time. I would, in the future, recommend both Housequake and Bandshop to anyone.
Thankyou so much for making our Christmas Party such a wonderful and successful night."

"Yvonne,
I must say that the band was exemplary in their behaviour. They were very professional and had people dancing all night. I spoke to Dale Ryder a number of times and he was a gentleman.
We had one instance during the night where the venue did not put a reserved place card on their table and staff had already sat at the table. Instead of being justifiably frustrated Dale said "Don't worry about it as this night is for you and not the band". This typified the professional approach and friendly nature.
General feedback was the band was great."

"Alyce (Alyce Platt - In The Flesh), Jeremy Pete et el were fantastic. They played more than required and were a big hit with the 20 - 60 year age cross section.
Our 500 guests were entertained and danced off their feet."

Re: Matt Hetherington
"Dear Matt,
Thanks for agreeing to play at the Rabobank Conference. The night was an enormous success for the bank, and for me as producer of the event. And one of the main reasons the evening was such a success was the fantastic show that you and your band gave us. Your choice of material was perfect for the evening, the quality of the band and the vocals was excellent and the entertainment factor was sensational. Thank you for putting on a knock-out, energetic and dynamic show. The audience loved it. The other thing I wanted to say was that it was a pleasure to deal with you and the band. You were all extremely pleasant and professional and I really appreciated that. At the end of the evening at least 10 women asked to be introduced to you. The worrying thing is that one of them was my wife!
With thanks."

"Hi Peter!
Hope this finds you well. I just wanted to let you know how fantastic Rohan Hammit, the showgirls and Bjorn Again were on Friday night! They were a big hit, everyone was up & dancing, and there was so much good feedback at the end of the night - Best Event they have had in the long time! Also they were all lovely to have around backstage. I'll be in touch when I get the next event!"

On behalf of the Hawthorn Football Club I would like to thank Bandshop for all your hard work and enthusiasm with Hawthorn Football Club's Family Day. Your professionalism and flexibility is certainly your strength, always being there for me whenever I called up with any concerns or questions.

We have only received positive feedback from the supporters, staff and players of the Hawthorn Football and full credit goes to the performers and to Bandshop. It has been a pleasure working with Bandshop once again and I look forward to working with you for future Hawthorn Football Club events.
Kind regards,"

"Dear Peter,
On behalf if the Western Bulldogs, I am writing to thank you for your support in 2002. As you know Matt Hetherington played at our Grand Final Eve Luncheon, The Big Bounce, on 27th September. As always he was fantastic and I have to say he makes it difficult to consider booking anyone else! Having said that, Big Deal performed at our Charles Sutton Medal Dinner last night and I received rave reviews. The guys were great to deal with, very easy going and topped off our night beautifully. Please pass on my sincere thanks to both groups for a superb job. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the past couple of years and wish you all the best for the future.
Kind regards,"

"Dear Peter,
RE: Pogo at Vision Systems Company Dinner Dance, Saturday 30th November 2003 I would like to let you know that Pogo were fantastic! The dance floor was never empty. Mick Malone was extremely helpful and caring through the night which eased some of the stress from me. The band members interacted with the crowd and the music selection was great - lots of really good "dancing" music. We had 465 people attending and the feedback I got the following Monday was "the band was fantastic". I thank you again for your assistance.
Yours sincerely,"

I was wondering if you can let me know the dates that Plastique are available in the end of September early October. Yes we are having our Dinner Dance around this time and I think my life would not be worth living if I organised it with a different band.
Look forward to hearing from you."

Thank you for your help in finding us the perfect band to play at our wedding on 30 November 2002. When Harry Met Frank were fantastic - they played the exact music I was hoping for at the perfect volume and were very professional at all times. Please extend our appreciation to them.
Kindest regards and thanks."

RE: QUEENSLAND WEEK PICNIC IN THE PARK
"On behalf of the Promotions & Marketing Department at Channel Seven, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the team from BABBA for their involvement in the Picnic in the Park on Sunday, 9 June 2002. Even though the wet weather leading up to the event did cause a few minor problems, the sun shone upon us on the day and an estimated 100,000 people streamed through the gates. The stage entertainment is what makes this event such a huge success and we couldn’t do it without the hard work and professionalism of you and your colleagues. Once again thank you and we look forward to working with your organization again in the future."

"Dear Tony,
The feedback from last week's IOSCO Dinner at the Botanical Gardens has been absolutely outstanding, due in no small part to Combo Fiasco. It was the first time I had seen the group perform, and along with the rest of the audience, I was captivated. Some senior corporate sector people have specifically asked for your contact details from which I deduce that the evening will result in further work coming your way. I certainly hope so. Thanks for the special "securities regulators" song. It was enthusiastically received.
Kind regards,"
David Knott

"Hey, you guys are great!
Not only was Angie Hilton, MC, bubbly, vivacious and very adaptable to change on the day, but you managed to create magic (literally) when Peter was able to provide a replacement ‘magician’ – within an hour and a half! (By the way, Peter Rodda was terrific and had the kids eating out of his hands). Thanks so much for ‘pulling a rabbit from your hat’ when another agent let us down and failed to deliver promised performers."
Ann-Maree Eckersley

"Please can you pass on my congratulations to the Alyce Platt Band who performed last night to 1000 guests at Crown for the Committee for Melbourne Dinner.
They were absolutely fantastic. Just the right band for the right evening.
Everybody loved the music and Alyce herself was delightful.
I am really looking forward to booking them again for a similar evening."
