Testimonials

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being so professional and wonderful to work with in every way, leading up to the 2013 “Camp Quality” Giggle Ball, which took place on Saturday May 25th.

The band “Hornet” performed on the night and we have had nothing but rave reviews ever since. Ty and the band were not only professional, reliable and easy to work with; but brilliant on stage, and able to keep the crowd dancing and enthralled all evening.

The song selection was perfect for the evening and the quality of performance was outstanding. This, combined with Hornet’s enthusiasm and talent on stage, meant they contributed immensely to the fun atmosphere of the evening and the ultimate success of the ball.

My only complaint is that the Hornet were so entertaining the night was over in a flash! We were that impressed we would like to book Hornet again for next years ball!”

– Sarah Farley, Camp Quality Giggle Ball

“Hornet were absolutely fabulous – both in terms of their energy and attitude toward the event, and their musical talent. They played 4 items during the ceremony at the church (plugged in) and consequently amazed and delighted guests. It’s probably the first time I’ve seen nodding in time, toe tapping and broad smiles in a church service…it added significantly to the atmosphere of the ceremony. They then had to re-set up for the reception in a different location so it would not have been an easy gig for them.

Hornet’s broad repertoire was also appreciated by us all. They’re a talented bunch of guys and we loved all that they played for us. Please pass on our appreciation.”

– Sue Strickland, Wedding Ceremony & Reception

“Hornet were absolutely fantastic! They were a huge hit thank you very much!

We really appreciate the great deal that they gave us and will certainly be

recommending them to others! Thanks again :)”

– Justine Rochow, Westpac Rescue Helicopter Charity Ball
