Hey Pete, Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Yes thank you - the band was fantastic on the 7th! Better than we expected even! Thanks for organising them for us. Your service is fantastic for people like us who dont know much about bands etc. We will definitely remember your website and service when we next need entertainment. Thanks again, Coren & Robert Humphries Jan 2011 Hi Pete, We were very pleased with the entertainment and your professional organization. It all worked very well. Many thanks Paul Shanahan Marketing Manager Hopper Developments Limited Ray Woolf Larry Morris, Jane Horder, Mike Walker Trio Oct 2010 Hi there Just want to say thanks so much for the great night-I can thoroughly recommend the Two of Hearts-everyone at the party has provided very positive feedback about the music, everyone had a ball. And a big "thank you" to Pete McGregor Entertainment, the service has been amazing. I was very impressed with your prompt response to any questions/queries I had.I shall certainly be recommending you to all my friends. Many thanks again for what you did to ensure I had a great birthday party. Kind regards Helen McLeod Hi Kellie, Sorry I have just found that I never replied to your email. Club Manouche were FANTASTIC!! We had some wonderful feedback from the guests. They really enjoyed listening to them and that they were wonderful to watch perform as you could tell the enjoyed playing great music. We would definitely use them and yourselves again for future events. Everything from booking the band to the day of the event was very simple and hassle free. Thanks very much. Kind Regards Bailey Phillips Good morning Pete Yes we had a very successful 60th birthday party. Our DJ was terrific he knew exactly what songs to play to keep our guests on the dance floor for our age bracket. He was also extremely obliging when we asked for requests. A big surprise was that he could actually sing as well. I was also pleased that he stuck to the curfew time of midnight despite some of our guests asking him to keep going as the hotel we used had a no noise policy after midnight. I will certainly recommend to any one using your agency to book a DJ or band in the future should the opportunity arise, the whole process has been handled very professionally and without one hitch. Thank you again. Michele Ormrod (Feb 2010) Hi Kellie, Jafa was amazing...everyone was amazed by them. They were definitely a highlight of the night. It was God's blessing that we found them and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wanted to have a duo for their function. They are professional and their voice are great :) Thanks heaps Pete for being so helpful. Kind regards, Michael Jen Jie Chu (Feb 2010) Hi Kellie, The NZ Blues Brothers and Abbey Road where both standout hits with the festival crowd on Sunday. After selling out on Saturday it was a great way to finish the festival weekend with more than two thousand people dancing and singing along with them. Thanks also needs to go to the Mike Nisbet Trio for a great set, it is always a hard act to start any festival however the music was great and helped to set the tone for what was a great day enjoyed by all. Thanks again to you for providing such great entertainers. On behalf of the Kia Motors Devonport Food, Wine & Music Festival and the organizers B3 Events Limited. Gavin Busch Hi Kellie, thanks for your email. The group were fantastic and even one of my 'pickier' musical guests was saying how he really enjoyed their music and selection. I'd highly recommend the group and your service to others. Thanks for all your help through the process as during a slightly stressful time, it's great that someone else can put your mind at ease. Cheers Carleen Wright Hi Pete, Thanks for your follow up email and for all your help in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Your professionalism and prompt correspondence has made the lead up to the big day stress free & we are truely grateful. I will certainly be recommending your service to others and if I ever get the chance to theme an event such as our wedding Erna will be our first choice !! I'd be more than happy for you to use our comments below on your website. "Erna and the band were absolutely fantastic. They made the whole evening and theme of our 1920-30's vintage inspired wedding day tie in together perfectly. Erna was decked out in 1920's attire and her cheeky grin and amazing voice delighted all the guests. People continue to talk about how wonderful they were and how much they enjoyed dancing the night away. The music was perfectly suited to our theme and was timed for the progression of the night. The mixture of old and new could not have been better done. Having Erna specially learn our first dance song was very special for us. My husband and I would personally like to thank Erna and the band for their amazing performance and for helping make our wedding night the most amazing night of our lives ! " Thanks again Pete, All the very best for 2010. Warmest Wishes, Anna & Damian Murnane Hi Kellie, Shelley and I would like to say how pleased we were with the duo you arranged for our sons wedding on Saturday. The duo arrived on time, looked the part, and performed exceptionally. The choice of music was left to them and they blended numbers delightfully to match the mood of the occasion. All the guests remarked on how well they played and how they added to the ambience. We would recommend them and yourselves to anybody. Thanks for your assistance at such short notice.

Thank you Pete McGregor Entertainment for your excellent service throughout the planning of my wedding. Tongue and Groove were fantastic ..once the band started the dancefloor was the place to be and not once through the evening was there no one dancing. So many of our friends and family commented on how great the band was. I would and have already recommended your services to a number of people searching for the right entertainment for thier event- you guys helped us to put on a fabulous wedding. Thank you so much!!! Nicky Stanners P.S. I am more than happy for you to use the above comments to post on your website. Hi there It was a great pleasure dealing with Graeme Webb prior to the event, he made things very easy. Unfortunately as I was the groom, and the band played while we where away doing our photos, I only got to hear one song when I returned. But that one song was excellent, set the tone and mood precisely as I'd wished, and the feed back I got from all the guest I spoke to about the music was glowing. They where spot on by all accounts, so I couldn't ask for more. If I ever was in the position to hire or recommend a Jazz Trio in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to sing the Graeme Webb trio's praises'. Please pass on my sincerest thanks. Thanks for your outstanding work on the production/managerial side too Kellie. Thanks again, Gerry Parke. (Jan 2009) Hi, Sorry it has taken me awhile to return your email. We thought Roundhouse was a fantastic band. They really captured the theme of the evening and played some fantastic music. Our managers and suppliers who were invited to the party commented on how awesome the band was and enjoyed what they played. We will definitely keep you guys in mind for any future events. Thank you and kind regards, Lyzzy and The Baby Factory Hey Kellie, We had an awesome time with Crush they were fantastic and really made the party a very special occasion J we wouldn’t hesitate to get them back again another time J Thanks for all your help at pete Mcgregor as well. All the best for the new year Libby Sharp MANAGED FUNDS FNZ Hi Kellie, Thanks for your email. We had a great evening and Phil Garland was excellent. My mum was really impressed because she said he was famous in the sixties! It has been great dealing with you and we'll definitely bookmark you for any other upcoming events. Thanks again, Kirsten Aaron. Hi Kellie Every thing was great on the day, and nothing went wrong, weather held out for the photos, so was very lucky. Laura & I would like to give a huge thanks to the band, they were fantastic and made the night even more special. They were very professional, were on time and the music was exactly what we wanted. Everyone talked all night how great they where and wanted to know where we booked them through. Could you please pass on a big thank you to all of them, they are fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better band, and would recommend then and you to anyone that asked. Thanks, once again for the great service. Regards CORY MUDFORD Good evening Thank you for your email. Am very impressed with Pete McGregor Entertainment.

Regards Julia Clancy Director Eden Event Management Limited Hi Kellie, Soulcage were AWESOME! it's very true that a band does make a wedding! It was a challenge to organise a band from Australia for our wedding in New Zealand and we only hoped that Soul Cage were as good as what their samples indicated on your website, and I must say they were even better than expected. Paul was very accommodating and our wedding was more successful and fun that we could have imagined, so to Paul and Celeste a big thankyou for your involvement in making our day perfect! and also to you and the team at Pete McGregor Entertainment, thanks for making our decision to use your company so pleasant.

Sasha was also perfectly on time and entertained well with his beauiful music and fun personality while the bridal party were away on a photo shoot, and also later as the guests were seated in the marquee. Absolutely brilliant! Then, of course, the DJ Eddie added the perfect ending to the perfect day!

I have received fabulous feedback from the couple and guests. They have all commented on the selection that you played and found it to fit very well with the guests. Evidenced by the full dance floor most of the night. Pete I wish to personally thank you for your guidance, support and expertise regarding the musical stuff for this one. Your patience with my lack of experience in bringing together so many musical arrangements / talent was amazing. Thank you so much. I would welcome any feedback that you can give me on how I can make things run smoother for future weddings / events. I look forward to referring future clients to you for their musical / entertainment needs. Have a great Christmas and I will be in touch again in the New Year. Kind regards Gayle (Garmez - Blockbuster Entertainment) Hi Pete I am just writing to thank you for all your efforts in organising the band for our Christmas Social. As usual you are very efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Well done Pete. As for the band Rectroactive, they were absolutely fantastic. They contacted us the week before the event to make sure they had all our details correct. They arrived early on the day and were fully set up ready to go by mid afternoon. They started the gig bang on time and from the moment they started playing the crowds hit the floor. The quality and choice of there music was brilliant and their ability to engage with the audience was quite unique. They seemed to be enjoying themselves more than the crowd. The music kept coming all night with only two 10 minute breaks and it was a very happy crowd of party goers who reluctantly said goodbye to Retroactive. We have had nothing but great feedback from our staff about the band, many of them commenting that its the best band we have ever had. That is saying something as we have been organising these functions for 20 years now. I have no hesitation in recommending Retroactive to anyone. Please pass our thanks on to the band.

We were delighted with both, your recommendations certainly helped the whole party go with a swing! Have a very Merry Christmas and a great new year.

Thank you once again. kind regards, Katherine Dowdall Marketing Coordinator GHD (Beatgirls (sound system also supplied by PME) at St Mathews in City Hi Pete Sorry just realised that I hadn't responded to your email of a month ago - oh well better late than never.

We were really impressed with their professionalism and style. We also appreciated the help that you and your staff provided - if it wasn't for you, we probably wouldn't have thought of booking Kevin - so glad that we did. Cheers.

The Larry Morris band were superb. and Susy (Lee - as Helen Clark) gave an outstanding performance.

Thanks Anne Larnach Auckland City Council Events Feb 2002 (Panmure Basin Festival) "Just want some kind of general entertainment. Could be something like dance instructor or some kind of group participation thing like line dancing. Maybe a good covers band that would get everyone up and dancing but will be quite a broad age group attending. Am open to suggestions also. Have a fairly limited budget. Love the website!" Matt Little Feb 2002 "Everything was great thanks Pete, and thanks to Mojave too. Not much dancing but that wasn't their fault, the music was beautiful." Cheers Mark and Amiria.

The vocalist had a great voice and the bass player (was one myself a few years ago) was possibly one of the best local guys I've heard. The drummer and guitarist were also very good and the overall performance of the band was tight and polished. I also think your web site is excellent - it enabled us to see the band (picture) and also hear a montage of their sound -which actually proved a pretty acurate sample!! Everyone enjoyed the evening - a great location, good food and great entertainment. Fron feedback that I've has we willbe doing something similar next year so I'll look you up again then. Thanks!
