The Crystal Set

Description

With a wide range of well-known material from the 50's to the present (including a couple of self penned numbers), this dynamic 5 piece fully live band has been receiving an incredible response each time they perform. Providing their own quality sound system and interactive lighting rig they will keep any occasion partying deep into the night. Featuring the talented and energetic Sarah Newman (lead vocals / acoustic guitar), and highly versatile seasoned musicians Damien Rowlands (guitar / vocals), Mike "Fud" Fudakowski (bass), Dene Thurston (drums / percussion) and Dave Josland (lead guitar), The Crystal Set is an impressive professional act. Now we could rave on for hours about ourselves but we’d rather let a few satisfied customers do that: "The Crystal Set played for our public New Years Eve concert in Wanaka. Being a very diverse crowd, it was hard to chose a music genre that suited the masses, but The Crystal Set were a huge hit, covered all bases and had everyone up dancing. We look forward to working with this very professional crew again in the future." Kerry Quin Director - EveNZ PR - Marketing - Event Management 19/01/2009 “Gday, Superb set last weekend – you had the full age range dancing, 19 – 60yrs! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Hope you guys did too. Until next time… Cheers” PBNZ 20/08/2008 “Once again I would like to say thank you soo much for an awesome night – you guys were amazing and we enjoyed every minute of it. The day was just perfect! Good luck for all your up and coming gigs!” Hayley & Michael Gallagher 02/03/2008 So, for the best live band you've seen in a while, inquire now!

Testimonials
To the Crystal Set Crew
Many thanks for such a great evening at our recent Christmas Function. RX has had many bands and disco’s over the years but this has been by far the best entertainment we have had. As in so many work places today it is very hard to cater for all the staff’s needs and taste in music. However with such a diverse range of music you more than accomodated our eclectic tastes. From the moment we made contact until the end of the function your staff were professional, obliging and very helpful. We would certainly recommend you to any prospective clients.
All the best for Christmas Regards Lyn Scammell Admin Manager December 2009
