Band for Hire Live Music Dunedin Entertainment

[Band for Hire Dunedin Entertainment Live Music for Weddings, Corporate and Conference Functions]

The following references are from 2006 to 2009 when Grafix performed regularly with the late Jane Clarkson, a dear friend and a great vocalist.

Brendan, Tony and Jane,

A note of thanks for your outstanding performance at the recent Mitre 10 end of year staff function. Having the 70's theme created a real buzz from the minute guests arrived; the music you played was a perfect match! The dinner set you played was also great, there were toes tapping in the buffet line and all the way through dinner.

It is a great sign when the dance floor is full and stays full all night - I didn't think people were going to let you off the stage at the end of the night!! You created a great atmosphere from beginning to end.

It was a pleasure to work with you throughout the planning and
implementation stages of this event, I would thoroughly recommend Grafix and Jane to anyone looking for a professional, versatile and down right fantastic group of musicians.

December 2009

On Saturday August 23rd we held the Dunedin Hospital Ball at the Town Hall and Grafix & Jane Clarkson provided entertainment for the first 2 hours.
The 460 people present really enjoyed the repertoire of music that was provided by Grafix and Jane and this was very evident by how quickly the dance floor filled up. Grafix and Jane have the ability to read the crowd well and they vary their song list accordingly.
They are a very professional group to deal with and are always reliable and punctual when attending sound checks and arriving for their performance.
I also have to comment on their very well groomed appearance and their onstage dynamics. They truly present a very polished act.
Following the ball we have received a lot of positive feedback about Grafix and Jane and they have left an excellent impression on all those who attended.
We will certainly hire them again in the future. (In fact that is exactly what I am doing in my capacity as a committee member for the Dunedin Cancer Society Ball to be held in 2 weeks time- they will be our opening act). In my mind that is a very definite recommendation.

Yours faithfully

Lyn Bunton (Hospital Ball Coordinator)

"Jane Clarkson & Grafix were excellent. Nothing was a problem for them during preparation and set-up. They read the group mood perfectly and got us up dancing and kept us up until the wee small hours! A polished, professional performance in every way. It was a fabulous, happy occasion and they kept it that way."

On behalf of the Cancer Society Ball committee it is with great pleasure that I acknowledge Grafix and Jane Clarkson as top class entertainers. The band played a big part in the success of our Cancer Society Ball last year and the many comments, we as a committee received, spoke positively about the high quality of their music and the professionalism of the entertainers. They are able to gauge the crowd accurately and select highly appropriate material which contributes hugely to the success of an event. Their presentation is immaculate and they interact most effectively with the guests.We look forward to Jane and Grafix being part of our 2008 Ball which will be held in Dunedin this September.

Birthday Celebration, Dunedin, September 2007

Dear Brendan, Tony and Jane

You all really do know how to make a party happen. What a fantastic combination you are. You made my birthday party the success it was, not only for your amazing musical talents but also for the way in which you all interacted with us and involved us in your music.

My family and friends (from Australia and New Zealand) are still raving about my party. Everybody was on the dance floor at some stage of the evening - even those people who say they don't normally get up and dance were seen to be having a great time.

I'm so glad I engaged you, Grafix and Jane Clarkson. You worked so hard and it was the best money I have ever spent. Thank you all again, your talent and entertainment is so very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Annette

Corporate Function-Dunedin Town Hall, June 2007

Dear Grafix and Jane

We very much enjoyed you playing at the Town Hall for our work function.
Your band very much suited the venue and the evening. Very hard to
please all age groups, but we have not had one negative feedback in
regards to the band, even the impromptu occurrences that happened
without your knowledge seemed to go down well. Everyone is keen to do it
again and have the same band.

Thank you again

Rock and Roll Dance-Dunedin Heritage Festival-25/03/2007

Grafix & Jane Clarkson were great and we have had excellent feedback about the whole night. As you know, live music makes a dance like this and you certainly provided an excellent and suitable play-list The number of dancers on the floor throughout the night was testimony to this. That you hadn't performed some of these numbers together at all, or for a long time, was a complete surprise to me, such was your polished performance!

Should I ever organise something like this again, I will definitely call on you! In the meantime, we will recommend Grafix and Jane Clarkson for any future conferences, dinners, awards etc in the Town Hall and Glenroy.

With kind regards

Debra

Dear Grafix and Jane

You were very supportive to me in what I was trying to achieve with the Milton Ball.
Great stage show. Tony’s Dean Martin number was amazing. We had 120 people for our dance, 85% of them were on the floor most of the night. You read the crowd and played what made all happy—young and old.

My feedback is that you were great and you are to be booked for our next ball. Well done!
