Pete
McGregor Entertainment (PME) is owned and operated by Pete McGregor,
a well known Auckland jazz and rock 'n roll bassist Pete
originally started this web site in 1998 to promote his own bands and
those in which he worked as a sideman. However he started to get inquiries
for other types of bands and entertainers, so he added these to the
site as well. This grew and grew and still grows with more acts being
added each month. Not just bands, but also tribute shows, comedians,
and public speakers. All acts added to the site are either known to
Pete and/or his experienced staff, or undergo a audition process and
evaluation by PME staff before they are added to listings. This assure
quality.
Currently PME have hundreds of acts listed on this site plus hundreds
more available.
Even if you cannot find your favourite band on the site, chances are
PME can get them for you with their extensive industry contacts.
PME include acts right throughout New Zealand
PME offer clients:
Professional
prompt service
PME
is run by entertainers so we know what can be done and what cannot be
done. We know what band will not suit a certain style of event. We know
the stage size required etc. A lot of small details like these are missed
by other entertainment agents who largely leave the booking arrangements
to young office girls with no entertainment experience. (apologies to
all office girls- Sorry girls!)
All
acts offered through PME have been vetted by the PME listing process
as to suitability. We choose which acts we add to our listings. Not
all applicants are accepted - your guarantee of quality.
Full
discussion with client as to suitability of act(s) for your event
All
bookings secured by written contracts for both Client and Act
Clear contractual arrangements
regarding meals, refreshments, dress codes, set up times, stage size,
etc (no surprises - better than dealing with an act direct!)
Only top quality, reliable
acts provided
All
Taxation issues handled by PME
Client and act contacted
in week preceding event to ensure everything is as arranged.
Fees
