"Hello Greg,
I happened to be at Hazelhurst Gallery a few weeks ago and enjoyed your performance so much - even my 7 yr old son was up and dancing with his cousins for quite a while.
We were so impressed we purchased your CD and visited your website.
We will absolutely consider you for any parties we have in the future. Thank you for exposing our son to such wonderful music and for such a special day. Yours truly,"
Mrs L Shimooka, Sydney

"We were delighted to be able to nominate you and the band for the ABIA!! We couldn't have hoped for a more perfect musical ensemble! You guys were absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed listening and dancing to every swinging beat. Old and young alike adored the music,"
Libby & Hugh, Bride & Groom

"Greg and his band completed the picture of the evening - a 20's inspired theme was taken to a completely different level with their performance but also his genuine nature and happiness to accommodate all requests... thanks Greg. On the night - I was approached by so many guests asking where we had found them and others were already looking to book them for other occasions. They really were fantastic,"
Phil & Laura, Bride & Groom

to our guests and not enough time dancing"
