The Hunter Trainers and Assessors Network (HTAN) is an industry association for managers and employees of private registered training organisations and TAFE colleges. On 24th August 2011 I engaged Sam McCool on behalf of the HTAN Management Committee to entertain at our annual dinner, which was held at a Newcastle TAFE campus. Unfortunately the comedian‘s main tool of trade, the microphone, was not provided and Sam was interrupted several times in the middle of his act by wellmeaning TAFE students, who were responsible for the overall staging of the dinner. Nevertheless, Sam delivered a superb show regardless. His ability to channel numerous international alter-egos was amazing and he kept the audience guessing all night about his real nationality. His choice of material was hilarious yet inoffensive, which is no mean feat. It’s always a challenge to find a comedian that is equally at home doing a pub gig, conference or a corporate dinner. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Sam McCool to anyone as our audience was delighted on the night and the organising Committee felt that he delivered in spades.

I am a free-lance photographer and have hired Guipravio for a number of occasions to collaborate in weddings and corporate functions. With Jenna’s lyrical voice and Anthony’s virtuosic guitar playing you wouldn’t want to miss out on hiring these two. They are highly professional and entertaining musicians which always leave their clients with a very satisfyed outcome. They can tailor their repertoire to suit the atmospheric mood that is wanted for any event.

Guipravio play a diverse range of pieces conisiting of beautiful classical works for voice and guitar. The vocalist is capable of singing in various languages including, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian ,French and Latin. They also perform many well known Jazz and Contemporary pieces making themselves very adaptable to entertaining venues

Your contribution really made our night-so many guest have commented on their great enjoyment of the music and dancing. The race to the dance floor was testimony to this! Thank you most sincerely for making our event such a success”.

The Paparazzi & News Reporters were brilliant! Every person who came into the function room did so with a smile on their face and a lot of people asked “who were those reporters” and “where did you hire them from?” Having them meet and greet everyone proved to be an excellent way to start the evening! Thanks so much!”

On behalf of the farmers, researchers and regional participants associated with the national Grain & Graze program, I write to thank you for the utterly brilliant presentation you gave last week. Wow! No-one left the dinner without having taken away a totally new perspective on how to give their all in any endeavour they pursue. You had the audience spell-bound not just by your own incredible story, but by the possibilities that they too may one day have an incredible story to tell. For days we talked about one key message or another that you presented and as a result, you not only made the dinner enjoyable and successful, but indeed made our whole event successful. You certainly touched all the right buttons, cleverly tailoring the messages by knowing your brief well.

As a speaker, your presentation style and skills are indeed unique, standing you apart from the myriad of after-dinner speakers I have engaged previously. Your professionalism shines through as much as your shear enjoyment of all that life throws your way. I do hope that you never lose your relish for speaking, your humbleness or that larrikin persona so many Australians instantly relate to. Perhaps I shouldn’t say this, but you do underprice your services compared to your speaker-circuit competition, particularly given the rapport you establish with your audience.

If ever I feel a group’s batteries getting low, I know exactly where to go to get the required recharge. Thank you again for sharing your story and inspiration.

“You guys were fantastic last night. It was a privilege to be awash in such a beautiful soundscape. The audience was so appreciative and respectful of the class of music you provide…You were stunning.”

Originally a Perth based acoustic guitar duo, Gypsy Fever are now a Sydney duo, trio, quartet or even more. On this particular album, the core of the group remains as jazz / Latin guitarists Gavin Libotte and Gordon Tan, and their omnipresent resonant strummery is felt everywhere. Their finely crafted plucking is enhanced with the addition of extras such as violins, bass, drums, percussion and oud, which allows the group to create a hypnotic world of sound that is unrestricted and open to experimentation. This extended freedom has seemingly encouraged the pair to extend their boundaries stylistically, as they produce a culturally crossed over brand of music that mixes jazz, Eastern exotica, Latin, Gypsy and Classical. The soft focus sound is clearly aimed at the living room or the café, but the energetic prowess of the players makes for some fine concentrated listening indeed. Just listen to the blistering acoustic lead runs on the Ottmar Liebert flavoured String Theory, the dreamily restrained percussion on The Promise or the harmonic interplay on My Place. Top notch little moments like these that populate the entire recording. Classy and smooth – check it out.
