Hi Corey A testimonial for you below, although its hard to put in to words just how amazing we think you guys were. YOU GUYS ROCK! From the inital meeting, right through to the wedding you guys were so easy to deal with and accommodating with what we wanted. We appreciated you learning new songs for us for the ceremony and the atmosphere you provided was amazing. You completely rocked the reception playing songs that everyone loved so the dance floor was never empty from the moment you started playing. Many of our guests said that you were so good at the ceremony that the wanted to clap and by the end of the night everyone was asking who you were. When I told one guest that you guys are the best covers band in christchurch he said "No they aren't, they are the best covers bans EVER". Thank you so much for making the night everything we wanted it to be. I will be singing your praises to anyone and everyone. Also, Tim and I are going to put a DVD together of some of our wedding photo's. Do you guys have the facility/ability to record the acoustic songs dream catch me and hard to concentrate? If you do we would pay you for it. We just love what you guys did on the day we would like to hear it again and use it for our dvd photo. Cheers, and if there is anyting else we can do to help in the future. If anyone wants to talk to someone who has hired you guys I am more than happy to help. As i said on the phone I think you guys should push the ceremony singing becuase it was fantastic and you really blew our guests away. Leigh 19/12/2009

These boys rocked our wedding and made our amazing day perfect. Everything from the booking to the setup to the packup was sorted so we could focus on everything else! The performance was outstanding and got everyone up and dancing so much that we didn't want it to end. The acoustic set to start was ideal and the range of songs they delivered suited all our guests. We would thoroughly recommend TNE to anyone wanting a great night. Esther and Chris 24/03/2009

I first spotted The New Entrants at Kaikoura Seafest and thought they were fantastic, so asked if they could play during our Orientation period at Lincoln University. They played the latest popular music with a few 'oldies but goodies' thrown in there too and they kept a huge crowd of students entertained for 4 hours (which is difficult when dealing with uni students with short attention spans)! They were professional, friendly and I would definitely use them again. Highly recommend. Laura Hitchon, Events Officer, Lincoln University 09/03/2009

'The New Entrants' band were a huge highlight of our wedding in January this year. They were absolutly fantastic and young and old were on the dance floor the whole night. We didn't want to have to leave early, as the bride and groom, cause we were enjoying the band so much! Corey was extremely professional and encouraging in organising everything and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests, Mike and I, recommend T.N.E for any big event-they're awesome! Thanks guys. Anita and Mike Smart Anita & Mike Smart 16/02/2009

We organised the New Entrants to play at our staff Xmas party. We had a crowd of over 300 people - aged 18-60 and these guys had everyone up dancing. We started off with a chilled out acoustic set at the start - and then turned up the volume later on. A great bunch of guys - very flexible! Have had many staff ask for their name to use them for other functions. Thanks heaps! Hazel Barrer 01/12/2008

The New Entrants were very professional with their organization and communication before the gig, and also with the set up at the venue. Having a sound technician in the band ensures that the quality of the sound was optimal! They know how to work the audience, and the line up of songs is extensive enough to engage a diverse crowd. The punters at the LAWSOC Ball didn't want them to stop! The songs are delivered with passion, energy, and skill - the dancefloor was fill within seconds. Thanks heaps guys for a great night! Josh Daniell Canterbury University Law Society Committee Josh Daniell 23/10/2008

Wow, these guys were fabulous. I have been involved in or responsible for dozens of corporate events over the last few years and heard these guys for the first time recently. They were superb. Professional, timed well, audience aware and quite frankly rocked! They pulled off Bohemian Rhapsody in such style the crowd were electrified. Highly recommended ***** Rank as good as any bands I have seen play the South Island or better. Carolyne Grant, Corporate Fundraising Manager, Ronald McDonald House South Island 16/10/2008

These guys are fantastic! I have seen them out in town playing at various venues and they played at our company Annual Awards in May 2008. Great range of music and they will play whatever you want them too (within reason of course!) We had a real mix of ages at our function of 400 people and I didn't get one complaint of the music not being good. Go the New Entrants, you really rock. Would use these guys over and over again..... Teresa, RAY WHITE REAL ESTATE ANNUAL AWARDS 18/09/2008

Hi Corey, Just a quick note to again say thanks to you and the guys for a huuuge night on Saturday at Westpac for our HOT Awards dinner and party. You guys were fantastic – and as you saw from the size and heaving mass of the dancefloor during your sets, the entire audience absolutely loved it. A thoroughly professional , well executed performance Great mix of music that really suited the whole crowd, and loved seeing it absolutely go off with Sex on Fire and Sweet Child – brilliant ! All in all – a great job, thank you for rockin the house. Hope you’s enjoyed it Also – just wondering if I might be able to get a copy of your nephew’s final video edit if that’s at all possible and agreeable by you. Would love to see it Cheers Thanks once again . Will keep in touch re future gigs Ian Ian Yee | Event Manager | HOT Events | House of Travel Christchurch City Ltd 30/03/09

Thanks Corey, you guys were absolutely A W E S O M E All we heard the day after "tha band" "the band who was the band" We gave them all your name, you guys made the reception so primo Thanks again, hope all went well at the festival Good good! I'm sure you will ! Andrew and Rachael Wedding 12/03/2010


Corey, I wanted to write to express our gratitude for the wonderful performance at our wedding in Wanaka on Friday 29th January 2010. You guys were absolutely amazing and worked the crowd like true professionals and had everybody, young and old, up dancing right from the start. Later on it was actually quite difficult to find a spot on the dance floor. You guys were very professional to deal with throughout, and we greatly appreciate the effort you guys made to make the trip down to Wanaka, and were honestly blown away by how good you guys are. Everything went according to plan for our big day, and we believe that the top notch performance of the band on the night was just the icing on the cake !!!!! I might be slightly biased, but I’ve been to loads of weddings over the years but I honestly believe that your performance was one of the best I have had the pleasure of witnessing from a band. I have already provided your details to two friends who are both interested in using you guys for weddings which are coming up. Additionally, I will gladly act as a referee and speak to potential customers to tell them how good you are (mob: 021 221 4811). You guys rock !!! Many thanks, Shannon & Rebecca Richardson Wedding 29/01/2010
