“You were fantastic!!!! Before we entered the room we could hear you from outside. I said to my new husband “listen to them, our wedding is awesome!!!!” You made the party! Thank you so much for coming” Kate & Andrew

“It would take an extremely jaded heart not to smile and tap your feet, much less dance around the room, to Greg Poppleton”
 Budd Kopman, All About Jazz (U.S.A)

“Last year at the Melbourne Jazz Festival and the Thredbo Jazz Festival I saw some great acts. I made Greg Poppleton an offer to play at the Waiheke International Jazz Festival ON THE SPOT” John Quigley, Director, Waiheke International Jazz Festival

“A very big thank you once again for your absolute stellar performance at last Wednesday’s Great Gatsby event. Everyone has not stopped telling me how wonderful the Greg Poppleton Band were and I have to completely agree. What a perfect fit for the theme! It was such a wonderful night made so much more pleasurable dealing with you and your band. Greg, you are an up most gentleman and professional down to the tee. Your flexibility and dedication to what you do (and do very well) is a testament to you and made by job that little bit easier! I very much look forward to working with you again soon and have sent an email around to the floor letting everyone know your contact details and how wonderful you are” Angela Freeman, Event Manager, cievents

“Thank you for your amazing performance at our wedding. Out of the 3 x bands we had performing on the day, you were without a doubt the highlight for us and our guests. We had so many comments from people about how good you guys were, so we wanted to pass on the feedback. You really did help create the atmosphere that we wanted. We hope you all enjoyed the day with us. I think we've nearly worn your CD out as it's been played plenty of times this past month. Thanks, and next time something comes up we'll be sure to keep you in mind” Kane & Nicole (re-booked three times)

“Our guests were thrilled” Katherine & Chris

“Hummmmmmm... que disco adorável” JouJoux, Rio De Janiero

“I'm writing to say how pleased we were with the band - and how much all our guests enjoyed the music. Alex and I were particularly impressed by your rendition of 'Beyond The Sea' and how easy you guys made it to perform our first dance (which we were very nervous leading up to it but greatly enjoyed on the night.)” Alex & Angus

“Greg and his band played for my 50th birthday and were fantastic. They were perfect for my vintage Hollywood theme with a song list great for mingling and dancing at the Golden Age Cinema Bar” Jacqueline

“We couldn't have hoped for a more perfect musical ensemble! You guys were absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed listening and dancing to every swinging beat. Old and young alike adored the music, and thanks for the special dedication to Grandma Nellie!! She loved it! Thank you also for being so obliging in teaming up with our friend Lanie Lane. It was certainly lovely for us to have our friend perform, she seemed to shine when supported by your band!” Hugh & Libby

“Greg and his band completed the picture of the evening - a 20s inspired theme was taken to a completely different level with their performance but also his genuine nature and happiness to accommodate all requests... thanks Greg. On the night - I was approached by so many guests asking where we had found them and others were already looking to book them for other occasions. They really were fantastic”
Laura & Phil

“A very warm thank you for your magical addition to our wedding day. Everyone has commented that the band was just excellent and asked how we found you guys. It was such an honour to have your band playing at our special day and thank you very much for accepting. All in all, the band was a wonderful hit and we will no doubt be recommending you to everyone for years to come” Alenka & Justus

“I couldn’t be happier with my decision to entrust my exclusive Gatsby: A Roaring Soiree to Greg Poppleton. The music, the atmosphere, and the professionalism were all exceptional. Everything was perfect and thoughtfully managed” Lyna Duong

“We both thought that the music was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more from you in fulfilling our requirements and helping to create the ambience we were looking for. All the band looked amazing on the day and we would like to thank you wholeheartedly for the effort you put into the music and the look, dealing with you throughout has been exemplary. Regularly we listen to your Phantom Dancer CD especially when we have people over for dinner! We are hopeful that sometime in the future we are in position where we need music for another purpose (maybe for our first child's birthday party!) as we know who to ask first! We will recommend you to all we know as the results you produced were simply delightful. Thanks for everything Greg and we wish you all the best for the future, please make sure that if you ever come over to the UK to mention it to us as we would love to meet up” Eva & Andy

“Greg and his team were nothing but a pleasure to work with. They were professional, easy going, flexible and of course ENTERTAINING! I would recommend him for ANY event and hope to use him again in the future. Nothing but class!” Daniel Rivers

“You chaps were fantastic, our guests loved you as well. You helped make our night really special. Our only complaint is that we didn’t get quite enough of you! I think its often that way at your wedding though. We spent far too much time talking to our guests and not enough time dancing”
Carol and John

“Greg & his band recently played at my 21st birthday party and it was certainly one of the highlights of the night! The music was fantastic!” Charlotte

“A fabulous night. We had a super time that was equally enjoyed by all!” Malcolm & Harleen

“We recently booked the "Greg Poppleton Band" for our "Hills Turns 100" Celebration at Hills Marketplace, Terrey Hills. A frequently heard comment at the end of the day was "great day....and the music was the best part!" Yes, Greg and his very talented band, and I mean VERY talented band, entertained and got people dancing for the afternoon programme, which was the highlight of the day. Greg's ability to understand our purpose, connect with the audience and select a suitable setlist for the day was most appreciated. We have absolutely no regrets in booking Greg and his band and we are so grateful for the generous and professional way Greg and each band member shared their expertise and creativity with us. Highly Recommended!!” Ian Freestone, Hills Market Place 100th, Terrey Hills
