Mike Nisbet Trio Strolling Dixie bands are always popular with young and old alike. It is fun bubbly music. This band is one of the best around with banjo, double bass and leader Mike Nisbet on Clarinet. Requiring no power and very little space this band can fit in most anywhere. In your lounge, on the deck, on the boat. Ideal for small parties, fairs, outdoor weddings etc Mike is a very professional bandleader ensuring good service and reliability The original Trio, Mike, Cliff and Dick have been playing together since 1993.They have added other musicians eg trumpet,trombone, sax for functions requiring a larger group. They have played at many venues in the North Island, Jazz Festivals at the Bay of Islands, Whangarei and Tauranga. Their normal gigs vary from restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, corporate functions, weddings, birthdays and funerals round the north of the North Island but predominantly in Auckland. Their primary objective is to play attractive melodies with a swing and that make people happy and remember the good old times. The line up produces a Dixieland sound and plays many of the old standards producing a feel good factor. They have made 2 CDs, the first in September 1998 with Kelly Mahon on vocals the second with Bob Ward (trombone ) Julian Russell (keyboard) and Len Fretwell (drums) in August 2002. Another CD is hoped for.

Hi Robyn Yes, the event went very well; and the trio were just great – perfect for our event and environment. Will definitely have them back here again for other suitable events. Kind regards Mieke Fookes Activities Coordinator VISION FOREST LAKE RETIREMENT VILLAGE - Independent Retirement Living March 2011 Thank Kellie, The Mike Nesbit Trio were fantastic. They looked and sounded great and a large number of the guests at the wedding commented on how good they were. I'm happy for these comments to be posted on their page on your site. Best Kirsteen Ure (Feb 2010) Hi Kellie, 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 Hello Kellie, We were very happy with the trio.......they provided the exact atmosphere we were hoping for. Many thanks, Merle Newland Hello Kellie, We were very happy with both groups. They day was quite stressful getting underway and we were rushed off our feet, so the relaxed attitude of both groups was enormously appreciated. They were both very professional and got on and played with a minimum of fuss which made life much easier for us. The Mike Nisbit Trio's mobility and initiative in locating themselves at various places was also a great asset. Both groups had a really good response from the people I spoke to also. Many thanks, we were very happy with the day, nice to see you there. Regards, Jeremy Randerson ‘Theatre Stampede Ltd’ Hi Kellie, The Mike Nesbit Trio was absolutely fantastic. The music was great, really fitted in with the overall ‘Great Gatsby’ theme and was the perfect finishing touch to what turned out to be a very successful event! I will definitely be in touch with you again, the next time I have an event to organise. Thank you so much for all your help. Have a great weekend! Kind Regards Jennifer Boyes ‘Intermediary Communications’ Morning Kellie, All your musicians were great. We would have no hesitation in using them all again in the future. Thanks Alan Sherris Chancery Body Corporate Hi Kellie Thank you for your email. The band was fabulous!! Thanks again Jenny Barr Dear Pete, Just to let you know that the Mike Nisbet Trio's performance on our wedding day on 29th December was absolutely fantasic. We didn't tell the guests about them so it was a lovely surprise for everyone and much fun was had. Mike was incredibily kind and friendly and let my dad join in and play the sax with the trio! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a unique strolling band. Many thanks, Catherine and Jeremy Pete, to reply to your follow up note re my 80th party on 22 Sept.at Mantells-- Mike Nisbet and his mates played for 2 hours before the Dinner. They were great,- played all the old tunes - creating a wonderful atmosphere to start off the evening. Our guests - including the young ones- all loved the music. It was a fantastic night. ThanksJohn Tuck Hi Pete Just to say a big thank you to the Mike Nisbet quartet. We, along with our guests throughly enjoyed their music and cannot wait until we have an occasion to use them again. We can not highly recommend them enough to other people wanting a professional and finely tuned band. Many thanks Jenny Watkins Hello Pete, Thank you and yes, we did enjoy the Mike Nisbet Trio very much, they were instrumental (excuse the pun) in making our day just that bit more special. Thanks & regards, Simon Dawn (July 2005) The Mike Nisbet Trio were great. A cheque for the outstanding amount that we owe you ($698.75) has gone out in the post today.
