Everything went really well. Everyone was happy, band were there early, set up went fine. General feedback was great so I’m sure we’ll book them again down the track. Thanks again for your help with everything.

Everything went great. I was going for an Oscar Peterson Trio/Bill Evans Trio feel, and they nailed it. The guys played plenty of the tunes I requested and were flexible with the timing of their breaks. Overall, a very professional looking, sounding, and acting group. Many of my guests commented on the group as asked me where I found them. Apparently the functions manager took down their details, so as to be able recommend them for functions in the future if need be. Thanks again for all of your help in booking and organising, and pass on my thanks to the guys. They really made the night.

The night went very well. We have a lot of Jazz lovers but you can’t please everyone….esp the country music lovers. But anyway, they did a great job and we all had a wonderful night. Simon was fantastic and was a hit! It was a great way to start the evening. Thank you for all your help and patience. Also thank Simon and the band.

Thank you very much for organizing the Jazz Australis Trio. They were very good, we had lots of comments throughout the night on this. The lead singer had an amazing voice. Their songs were what we needed for this dinner and really added to the atmosphere. They were also lovely to speak to and were happy to accommodate us and let us use their microphone and share their stage. We would be happy to hire them again if we have another event in Brisbane. Please pass our thanks onto the guys.
