Thanks for a great performance by the band on the 12th. You were terrific and we got lots of positive feedback. Apparently a number of the old guys don’t normally get up to dance but they did on that night.<\/div>\n
Please also thank Yvette for a wonderful show.<\/div>\n

Hi Steve and Gavin<\/div>\n
We are still happily musing over the success of our gig last week at the Fitzroy Town Hall on Wed 5 October. The Pearly Shells were a significant part of our satisfaction. : ) Please pass on our thanks to Yvette and the rest of your five piece outfit; we are really grateful for\u00a0 your fun energy and professional musicianship. Your sound check and start up were seamless, which I really appreciated. You gave us a terrific high to finish on; well done!<\/div>\n
My special thanks and gratitude go to you as the booking organizer. You were always positive and helpful, and you always got things done. Nothing was ever a problem, and you have a talent for reassuring slightly anxious\/perfectionist event managers. Great work. : )<\/div>\n
I hope to dance to your music again sometime!<\/div>\n
Warm regards<\/div>\n
Janoel<\/div>\n

\u00a0Dear Steve,<\/p>\n

A quick note to thank you once again for a fantastic night last Friday.<\/p>\n

We had an absolute ball and all of our guests have told us they had the best time.\u00a0 Many people asked us about the band and we received numerous compliments.<\/p>\n

We particularly loved how you were able to adapt to the setting and come out onto the terrace to be amongst the action, and allowed us to sing or perform.\u00a0 Jenn in particular was thrilled to have a chance to perform with such a talented and easy going group who plays exactly the sort of music she loves to sing.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt you were a key part of the success of the evening, and your warm and friendly personalities added to the atmosphere as well.<\/p>\n

Hopefully we might see you around the traps one day soon.<\/p>\n

All the best, and Happy Christmas\u00a0Keith and Jenn<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hi Steve<\/p>\n

Thanks so much to you and the Pearly Shells for playing at our wedding on April 5th. You guys were fantastic, we had so many positive comments from guests about how great the band was! Everyone was up on the dance floor at one stage. \u00a0We would definitely recommend you and will hopefully see you again at one of your gigs.<\/p>\n

Thanks again<\/p>\n

Hi Steve,<\/p>\n

Now that the excitement of the night has slightly diminished and the blood alcohol has been reduced to zero, I like to thankyou again for your part in our night. You were sensational! We (including Dare) really appreciate you allowing the opportunity for Dare to get up for a couple of tunes. I know there is a risk involved when that happens.You read the state of play beautifully all night\u00a0and\u00a0when you played \u201ccompared to what\u201d it blew us away, it is a masterpiece that does not get any where enough recognition.For people like our family, we never get sick of being reminded what a great place this part of the world is for music<\/p>\n

Now doubt we\u2019ll see you about<\/p>\n

Regards<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hi Steve<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t get a chance to thank you on Saturday and I was completely blown away by the music, Thankyou for doing such a fantastic job. It made me so happy that everyone got up to dance, they have been raving about the music over the last few days.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hi Steve,<\/p>\n

We are absolutely ecstatic with how everything turned out, we can not thank you enough for the exceptional job you did on saturday night.\u00a0We have had so many phone calls to say how wonderful the night was and wanting to know your name and details. \u00a0I can not thank you enough for everything you did to make it the best night of our lives.<\/p>\n

The venue were blown away and I think will be recommending you guys for future use there.\u00a0Mission accomplished getting everyone on the dance floor! Oldies, young ones, sour pusses and even Anthony with his crap back.<\/p>\n

I think my favourite part was doing the Hokey Pokey with my dad \u2013 who doesn\u2019t dance!\u00a0The whole event was a constant roll of amazing song\u2019s and I was singing the whole night through.<\/p>\n

I could not have asked for a better night.\u00a0Thank you for being amazing and easy to work with from the start and I will be highly recommending you to anyone and everyone.<\/p>\n

Carly and Anthony.<\/p>\n

p.s. I knew I would want to give you a tip, and I\u2019m glad!<\/p>\n

Hey Tom and Steve,<\/p>\n

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and the rest of the Pearly Shells for your amazing performance at our wedding on March 23rd in the Grampians! Our guests just could not stop raving about how much they loved the music and how it made them want to dance \u2013 you even got one of our grumpy old uncles who had not danced in 40 years on to the dance floor and he has been complimenting our wedding ever since!<\/p>\n

So thanks again and great job!<\/p>\n

Wow- what an awesome night!! our feet were so sore from all that dancing!! You guys did such a fantastic job & I\u2019m not surprised you didn\u2019t give in to our requests for playing for longer- it would have been hard work keeping that going for all those hours!! I especially loved the austin powers theme song\u2026it is still stuck in my head.\u00a0\u00a0 Hope you guys also had a fun night!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Mate, mate, what can I say? The Pearly Shells saved the wedding! They were just awesome. Your guys are really serious musicians \u2013 the way they make those instruments do what they want is beautiful to watch.<\/p>\n

And their spirit, given the deluge, was much appreciated. True professionalism.<\/p>\n

We would love to have you back again. There is a great old hall near here, real 1920s atmosphere, and I\u2019m wondering how you\u2019d feel about a night where we\u2019d invite parents and friends of the school to a dance, bring a plate, have a supper etc I think you\u2019d raise the rafters. And you know what? It\u2019s waterproof.<\/p>\n

Thanks for everything Steve, hope to hear back from you,<\/p>\n

Would definitely love to get you guys to do something again \u2013 maybe look at a bigger function next time and get the orchestra setup!<\/p>\n

Hi Steve-thanks for Sat Night at AQ wedding-I felt you guys were \u2018on fire\u2019 and the feed back from the guests was all positive.<\/p>\n

Sorry to see you stuck out the back- as I had hoped the seating arrangement had you in the main area (something was lost in the translation between PQ to AQ to Mel Aquarium \u2013so I hope you got fed and looked after. I didn\u2019t realize you were not in the main room till our late arrivals arrived. They I know were blown away with their dancing time<\/p>\n

Anyway thanks heaps-your band certainly contributed to making the night one to remember \u2013 I hope your team enjoyed it also. Sure to see you out and about some time<\/p>\n

Hey Steve,<\/p>\n

Jason Rollheiser here, I just wanted to say Thank you for the fantastic show
\nyou and your band put on at my wedding reception, back on the 28th at Sails
\non the Bay! Everybody had a great time and I give you guys full credit for
\nthat. It looked like you guys were having a great time playing and I think
\npeople picked up on that.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say I had never been to wedding before where all the guests
\nstayed untill the very end. It has been my experience in the past that
\npeople start to peeter out soon after the meal untill only a handful are
\nleft at the end of the night, but this occasion everybody seemed to be
\nenjoying them selves so much that the night ended much to quickly for them.
\nI never had much of an oppritunity to thank you properly or even ask if you
\nhad enough to eat and drink that night, sorry about that. I hope that it all
\nwent well from your side.<\/p>\n

Please pass along my sincere and exuberent thanks to your fellow band
\nmembers for a fantastic evening!!! I will be passing along your names to
\nwhomever might be needing a great band for their special night!
\nWell Steve, I look forward to seeing you at the \u2018Bendigo\u2019 soon, please keep
\nme informed of you upcoming shows!! Thank you again!!<\/p>\n

Regards,
\nJason and Lauren Rollheiser.<\/p>\n

Dear Steve (and the Pearly Shells)<\/p>\n

Thankyou so much for playing at our wedding on March 27th 2004 at the Baths in Sorrento. Ever since I saw you play years ago at the Night cat, I have always wanted the Pearlys Shells to play at my wedding and I was so happy that when the day finally came, my dream came true. The band was fabulous. All the guests commented on how brilliant you were, the atmosphere your tunes produced was perfect. Very cool, laid back and swingin. Ed and I had the best time dancing the wedding dance to a live band. You all looked super cool and I am looking foward to dancing to you again.<\/p>\n

Kind regards,
\nNicole & Edward Burnes<\/p>\n
