It was fantastic. Everything went well. The guys in The Essentials were looked after and they produced some great song choices and importantly they were able to go with the flow when it was necessary. Overall it was a successful night.

Thanks again for your support.

Best Regards

Good Afternoon Frank (Benedetto)

WOW! What a night.

You’ll recall Sofia’s story about how we came to book you for Sofia’s 40th Birthday Party…

She’d been to listen to a local group of four artists who sing Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett etc songs. When she came home, she was hesitant…She wasn’t certain about their suitability so she asked me to come along and listen to their performance. I knew immediately that this meant she wasn’t happy…so I took her into the study, sat her down and with eyes closed; I played her your sample tracks. “I love it…That’s who I want for my party,” she cried, and the booking was made!

I take this opportunity to thank you sincerely, on behalf of Sofia & myself, for the professional manner in which Instinct Music handled the booking.

Special mention must be made and our thanks to Robert Severini who is such a talented musician and whose addition to the band greatly enhanced the harmony and melody. The Band was outstanding!

I extend our appreciation for the time you personally invested in ensuring your musical/technical requirements were met by our local jazz band (Larry Thompson); and that the opening song, accompanied by the Adrenalin Girls, was a show-stopper. You were the ‘headliner’ act for the evening and you certainly lived up to that reputation…from your personable nature, your smooth tunes and immaculate presentation.

Our friends have all commented on how superb your act was – how much they enjoyed it- and we certainly couldn’t ask for more!

We’d love to catch up with you when next we are in Melbourne and thank you for you kind invitation to do so. It would be a real treat to listen to you and your band…we’ll be in touch.

We recently had the band Kind of Blue play for our wedding. I just wanted to express how happy we all were with their performance. The music really added something special to our day and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. I would not hesitate to recommend Kind of Blue to any one looking for a quality jazz band to play at their function. It would be much appreciated if you could pass on this feedback to the band.

I also found the service from Instinct music to be extremely profession and helpful.

Thank you kindly

The guys were fabulous on the night, they were prompt, interacted well with all of us and had a great repertoire. Everyone commented on how great they were and wanted to know where they could see them again.

It has also been a pleasure to deal with you and Instinct music – I will definitely recommend Instinct Music to anyone

Thank you for you help and to South Side for being a great part of the night

R. Cleland

We would both like to say a massive thank you to the band for playing at our wedding at Bather’s. We had such an amazing day, and the music you guys gave us was a huge part of it. Everyone commented on how great you were, and I think you judged the mood and atmosphere perfectly.

The whole experience from booking through to the end of the night was really easy and completely stress-free, which is exactly what you want. We’d have no hesitation recommending you to other people for any occasion (and we have already passed on your details to a few of our friends).

So thanks again for a perfect evening, and hopefully we’ll hear you again soon.

Chris & Michaela

Gavin Libotte and Simon Phillips have been playing together for 2 years, and have developed a playful style, with intricate interplay, original melodies and flashes of virtuosity. It’s hard to pick a single track for airplay. The whole album is a satisfying journey, with influences from a world of jazz, flamenco, groove, and Latin rhythms. The delicate percussion forms an integral part of the sound, allowing the guitars more space to create beauty. The production is superb, with attention to the tone and warmth of the guitar. Sauvage is seriously impressive!

We are away on our honeymoon and were defiantly going to give you feed back on Clear View,as you told me they were fantastic,they were a large part of the reason we had the best night that was everything we wanted,it was a huge party,the guests all were amazed at how amazing they were,The Pier Hotel staff said they had never seen a wedding where the dance floor was partying the whole night and how great the band was! We couldn’t tell the difference between them stopping singing and putting between set music on as they had the music chosen so well for the crowd!

Thank you so much for taking care of us and knowing what we wanted!

We have just returned home to Abu Dhabi after holding our Wedding at Aria which we had Charlotte Jane perform and I just wanted to take a moment to say how absolutely perfect they were and how talented this duo is, the mood, song list and their appearance / presentation was incredible and I would strongly recommend them for an cocktail event. We have some images of them performing with the Sydney Harbour sunset in the background which I will send through for you in the coming weeks but please pass on our sincere thanks and highest compliments as they were without a doubt the perfect performers for our wedding.

Hi Steve

I wanted to send you a note to rave about Acoustic Shoes. The boys played at our wedding on the 8th of November in Terrigal and they were absolutely brilliant! They were so professional and even allowed our family members (fellow muso’s) my cousin, sister and Uncle sing which meant so much to all of us. Everyone had a ball and was raved about how brilliant the boys are. I was so pleased to have found them and highly recommend them; in fact a friend of mine at the wedding was so impressed I believe she will be in contact to use them for an upcoming party.

Again thank you and please pass on our comments to the boys and say a HUGE thank you.

Hi Steve & Richard,

I must mention that a week before my husbands’ 50th I rang and spoke to Richard with a few reservations as I previously had a bad experience years ago with booking a band thru another agent.

I had no reason to worry as the Duo “First Class” were absolutely amazing, they turned our function into a memorable night. We constantly had people complimenting the entertainment that night. A great time was had by all.

Many thanks to Sam and his partner on the night and to you all at Instinct Music. I will definitely recommend your firm to all.

Yours sincerely

G. Scoleri
