Adrian Keeling Band

Adrian Keeling
is a singer, actor, television and stage star.
He is most famous in New Zealand for his performances on TV's SHORTLAND STREET, where he was Marge's first husband. He is also often seen in advertisements on television.
In addition to this Adrian has spent some years working in London's West End on various stage shows. He has also worked regularly in shows and with bands since his return to New Zealand.
This is a very experienced entertainer. One who knows how to "work" the crowd to make for a fun evening of entertainment.
Adrian performs from a huge repertoire including the crooners like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. But the great thing about Adrian is his ability to also perform more modern numbers covering such well known and popular singers such as: The Blues Brothers, Joe Cocker, Louis Prima, Ricky Martin, Chuck Berry, Neil Diamond, Bill Halley, Meat Loaf, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones and The Beatles and many more.
This means that there is something for everyone in Adrian's performances. He is just great at a wedding dance where you have a wide range of ages in the audience.

He dresses with aplomb, he is the epitome of the entertainer.
Whether it is a smooth crooner or a full on rocker that you need for your event, Adrian can fill the bill with style.

Adrian performs with a professional rhythm section of keyboards, bass, and drums. A tenor sax can also be added if required for even fuller sound and more excitement.

Ideal for: wedding dance, wedding reception, 20's themed event, 60's r 'n r party, corporate dance, background for dining

Hi Kellie,
Selena has forwarded your email on to me – we were more than happy with the band, we only wished we could have had more time with them but unfortunately our evening didn’t allow for that. A number of people commented on the band and said how much they enjoyed.

Just a quick reply to say thanks for your participation in our wonderful wedding day. Everything went really well, and the music was appreciated by all.
Thanks again,

Thank you Pete,
we were thrilled with the band and the feedback from the guests was marvelous. We all had a great time – thanks so much for pegging our needs so well and providing such a professional performance.
Finally, apologies for forcing on you the amateur performance from the bride – highly unusual – handled with great aplomb by you all, much appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Pete!
Thanks so much for your e-mail.
Everyone had a fantastic night on Friday and I have had loads of great feedback about the band. A couple of people have photos which hopefully they'll pass on to me and I can send them to you!
I hope that you all had an enjoyable night and were looked after well by Hamish! I trust that you had a safe journey home on Saturday.

Hi Pete

We were delighted with the entertainment, thank you! The whole day was a great success, and the music was a big part of that. I had lots of comments from guests on how much they had enjoyed listening to all those old favourites, and what happy memories they brought back - just what I had been hoping for!

Thanks also for allowing the children to take to the floor from time to time!

I will certainly be recommending your services to friends and acquaintances.

With many thanks

Tutes - Oyster Entertainment
Hello Tutes & Duane!
Just wanted to let you know it was another successful evening. The band were just what you described - they were a real hit with young and old. My Mum (the cutie she is!)had a chat to the lead singer during a break and he said when they saw the age group here they got a bit concerned that they were at the wrong party!!! But once they were into only their second set the dance floor was full. We even got Bill's beautiful niece who has an amazing sultry jazz voice, to get up and sing with them for a song.

Cheers
Delwyn (21st Birthday Oct 2003 through Oyster Entertainment)

Good morning Pete,
The staff were all talking this morning about the fantastic time they
had on Friday night. Your choice of music couldn't have been
better. I think we all felt we really were in a MASH unit being
entertained by a USO group so thanks heaps to you and the band.
Kind regards,
Carole
(Prime TV Xmas function Dec 2003) [M.A.S.H. theme - Adrian with Jane Horder and Mike Walker Trio)

Thanks for your email Pete. We had a fabulous day, thank you, and we loved the band! We really appreciated your coming up with a "plan B" so quickly when Truda was ill - and, as you commented, Adrian and the band were probably a better fit for the day in the end anyway! We will definitely recommend you and the band to our friends and family looking to book live music.

Kind regards and all the best for 2004,
Sally and Dan Parker (wedding Dec 2003) Adrian plus Mike Walker quartet

Hi Pete
I have just got back from our Honeymoon and seen your email now.
Thank you for the entertainment you provided for our wedding reception. The band and Adrian set such a great atmosphere and were very professional, Adrian was a fantastic performer and did a great job in getting the guests up and participating. The choice of songs that the band played were ideal for the occasion, a good range.
Thank you once again.

Kind regards
Lisa Bridge (wedding March 2004)
