The Hustle
The Hustle were our opening act for the Summer Concert Series and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the long weekend! Not only were Mish and the boys super professional and easy to deal with, but they lit up the stage with a wide range and number of hits that had everyone singing and dancing (or good ol’ Kiwi foot tapping) from start to finish. Definitely won’t be the last time we get The Hustle in to perform for us!

Jumpsuit
We couldn't be more happy and grateful to have the band Jumpsuit make our wedding magical and perfect. The band was incredibly professional, talented and amazing. What a magnificent voice he had. The drum and guitar solos so much fun to listen to! We had so many complements about how fantastic they were, we all danced and sang the whole night. I can not express how wonderful it was to have chosen them!! Best night of our lives. Thankyou!!!

Jamie and the Gents
Jamie and the Gents were absolutely fantastic at our end of year function! They really played to the vibe of the crowd, knowing when to play the mellow tunes and when to play something to boogie to. It’s been over a week since our event and I still have people asking after the band and making positive comments about them. I would highly recommend them and look forward to having them again at any future events we will be hosting!

The Hustle
The Hustle performed at our Christmas party and really were the icing on the cake! Their song selection was fabulous which meant there was something for everyone, and they had everyone on the dance floor. It was also cool how they interacted with the crowd! Everyone was impressed and on Monday everyone was talking about what wonderful performers they were.

High Society performed at our Private Christmas Work Cocktail Evening last week and were truly amazing. They are a wonderful pair that are truly talented and read the crowd to what music was needed.

Twistin' The Swing
“Twistin’ the Swing were the perfect choice for the garden party we held in celebration of the opening of our historical cottage. The guests raved about how fantastic the music was and how friendly the band members were. I’m sure we will be seeing them again here at Summerset at Monterey Park for future events.”

Wolves and Ravens
The old saying goes that music for any event can “make” or “break” it and I’m so thrilled to say that Wolves and Ravens certainly lived up to our expectations for our wedding with a dance floor that was never empty! Our guests loved the band, as we did, thank you.

The Black Quartet
The Black Quartet played beautifully as I welcomed guests to my event. They are professional, creative and immensely talented. It was a great pleasure to enjoy the great classics as well as their surprising interpretations of contemporary songs.

The Black Quartet
A massive thank you to The Black Quartet for their superb performance at Tourism New Zealand’s Business Events National Awards Dinner. They created a wonderful atmosphere and added another layer of sophistication to the event. Many of the guests commented on the calibre of the beautiful music and the great selection of classic kiwi songs they performed. I was also extremely impressed with their professionalism. Would highly recommend.

Jumpsuit
We hired Jumpsuit Trio for our wedding - they were nothing short of absolutely amazing! Very professional, dressed for the occasion, read the room and played all the right songs! Jumpsuit even played an encore well past their intended finish time! Thanks so much! Would definitely recommend Findaband as well. They made the whole process easy and stress free. Website was great - detailed overviews and videos of the bands demos, you’ll get exactly the performance what you see (and probably better)!

Asch-Rose
Asch-Rose played at our conference opening function recently and was amazing to work with. She is incredibly talented, lovely and professional – we would have her back in a heartbeat, and recommend her strongly to others, no matter what the occasion. Thanks Asch!

Bring in the Band
We recently had Bringing in the Band at our wedding in Clevedon. We had very easy contact with them leading up to the big day and they were incredibly flexible in our music choices. The arrived exactly on time (which is incredibly important in wedding preparations), set up promptly and their sets were amazing. Even though we had a small wedding, our guests couldn't help but hit the dance floor. They kept everyone entertained, performed requested songs and left an absolutely wonderful feeling as our day came to an end. I would highly recommend Bringing in the Band for any function you might have. Booking through Find a Band was easy task with great communication, the team are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for making our whole event such a success!!

Kid Radio
Kid Radio had our dancefloor pumping in a matter of minutes!! Song after song the dancefloor was packed and our guests loved every minute of it! They read the crowd really well and knew exactly what to play song after song – for a corporate firm with an age range of 20-60's year olds, they couldn’t have done better! The guys are also super easy to deal with and very professional.
15 Sep 2019
Kevin Clark and Fran Barton
We booked Fran and Kevin through Findaband and they were incredible! They’re professional, adaptable to quick changes in timings and able to read a crowd perfectly. Our dinner and pre-drinks event had the perfect vibe held together by Fran and Kevin’s beautiful performances. They’re both very talented and had many of our guests caught by surprise when they realised the music was live – they’re THAT fine-tuned. We can’t thank them enough! Matt and the team at Findaband made our whole experience really smooth and made finding local enterainment a breeze.

Luna
Findaband were super easy to work with from start to finish and I'm so glad I found Luna through them. She was the perfect fit for our unique function. Luna was professional, prompt and lovely to work with. But mostly, she is a phenomenal talent with a beautiful voice. She went above and beyond to make our night a success and we are very grateful.

High Society
High Society were spot on for our Tall Blacks dinner at the SKYCITY Convention Centre. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how it made the evening for them. They delivered three sets that matched this event perfectly. I can’t wait to organise another event so we can have Ra and Hayden back again to entertain us with their mix of laid back soul.
18 Aug 2019
Allenby Park
Allenby Park performed during our welcome function which greeted guests from America, to New Zealand. Their ability to showcase the tones of New Zealand and set the mood to the crowd was impressive. Our client was shocked when so many guests started dancing later on in the evening after saying they were not a ‘dancy crowd’. Thank you Sam and Manoah, truly spectacular.

Blue Steel
I honestly don't know how to put into words how AMAZING Blue steel was for our wedding. I was nervous, obviously being in that we had never seen them play, and here they were to entertain our wedding party. But WOW!! You guys were the BEST! From start to finish, you kept our whole crowd entertained, I don't think there was any part of the night that the dance floor wasn't full. They even played through there scheduled break times due to the fact that our families speeches ran well over time. No matter what song the band played, they ROCKED it! They read the crowd so well. And even to this day I have guests asking me who the band was, and no one can stop talking about how amazing Blue Steel was! You guys made our day so perfect! So thank you for that! All the best Angela and Mikey Cook

Blue Steel
We choose Blue Steel for our Awards Night and were not disappointed! These guys really know how to make a crowd dancing. Playing hits all nights, they made sure our guests have a great night.
04 Aug 2019
Ministry Of Tone
Ministry Of Tone were simply fantastic! Our outdoor event was a 6km fun walk and those participating and who just came along for the entertainment thoroughly enjoyed the line up of songs. Thanks to Ministry Of Tone, Matt and Sam for bringing this together.

Mish & Wade
Findaband were so great to deal with. We had the duo Mish and Wade from The Hustle and they were sensational. My only regret is having so many guests as all I wanted to do was sit and listen to them intently! They absolutely made the night what it was. I had so many people comment on how amazing they sounded. Mish has an incredible voice. They created a lovely relaxing vibe at the beginning and then ramped it up to dance worthy tunes later on. I could not have been happier!

Blue Steel
We had the pleasure of Blue Steel playing at our wedding this year in February and they were fantastic. Very organised and on time with arrival, set up, playing and ending. Would highly recommend them to anyone interested in getting a band for an event. The music was fun and relevant, I have had great feedback from my guests and would not hestitate in using them again!

Blue Steel
We had The Blue Steel for our client’s gala dinner and they were absolutely amazing! They were so accommodating with all of our requests and the band made the whole crowd dance and sang along. Would definitely recommend for any types of function!

Oval Office
We were lucky enough to have Oval office at our wedding and we all agree, they were absolutely amazing!! Every single guest has mentioned them since the big day and how they made the night just unreal. The sounds was fantastic- as were the cool lights and the tunes were fab, got everyone up dancing. Was actually surreal dancing to such wicked, professional band under the eves of my house!! They were so laid back, just like us, so fit in so well and nothing was a problem. Would love to book again!

The Jazz Age
It was great to have live music at our village, the Jazz Age Trio did an amazing job at creating a fun and entertaining vibe for our current residents and new prospects that walked in our doors, it was upbeat, fun and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you, we can’t wait to have you back!

Quantum Blue
We had Quantum Blue play at our graduation ceremony and they were absolutely amazing! Clo’s voice is out of this world and they were so accommodating with all of our requests! Our guests really loved the upbeat vibe of Quantum Blue as we usually have a string quartet play. Would definitely recommend!
04 Apr 2019
80sX
80sX were absolutely amazing at our launch party. From the first song they had the guests wowed and dancing the night away – even the ‘too cool for school’ advertising people. Everyone is still talking about the party and the amazing performance from 80sX. Thanks so much, you guys rocked it!

Quantum Blue Duo
Myself and our customers were very pleased with the outstanding level of entertainment delivered by your musicians on our Christmas Family Night. Your Quantum Blue Duo was wonderful and very professional. They felt the mood of the crowd and worked with it 😊
24 Nov 2018
Quantum Blue
Quantam Blue were amazing and Chloe’s voice is simply breathtaking! They were so professional right from when they turned up until the end of the night. The music they played fitted so well with our event which was a fundraiser - and they were sensitive to our requirements with regards to the feel and the volume changes that we required during the night. Many people commented on how great they were and we would certainly not hesitating in recommending them.
24 Nov 2018
Pepperjacks
The Pepperjacks were an amazing band – organised and professional. Everyone was up dancing straight away and up all night. Talented band and singer. Would highly recommend them for a great dance off and hugely fun night.

Kid Radio
We had Kid Radio perform at our student association 50th anniversary ball in front of 600 people. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from the guys running the show behind the scenes to the band themselves, super professional, super approachable and all around lovely people to deal with! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an on-to-it band who want your event to be as much of a success as you do!
13 Oct 2018
Quantum Blue Duo
Sam from Findaband went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect musicians. I appreciated how Sam showed initiative from day one and gave invaluable advice based on his years of experience. He responded to emails immediately and truly was exceptional to deal with. Their expertise meant I could relax and enjoy the night. Sam from Findaband was continually positive, “on to it”, and brilliant to deal with.

Kid Radio
We recently had Kid Radio play at our national conference and they were AMAZING! Everyone was raving about them at the time and they got TWO encores - the fact that the dancefloor was still heaving when all the lights had been turned on is a huge testament to them! Awesome guys too, I would have them play again at other events in a heartbeat. I would give more stars if I could!
18 Aug 2018
Kid Radio
Recently had Kid Radio perform at my birthday and they were absolutely Fab. Had the dancefloor always full and so many positive comments from my guests about how good the band was in the days following. They were super friendly and sounded amazing. Great range of songs. Clean, sharp sound. Thank you so much for a great vibe.

Scotty Stone
We had Scotty Stone Duo play our joint 40th. Their volume and song selection was excellent. We had such a great night although I still feel cheated by the crowd voting that my wife won our dance-off!

The Gramophone Band
A sell out annual event, Night at Auckland Museum kicked off on Saturday 7th July with the first ever offer of an Adults evening event. As a secret finale to the night the Gramophone Band were positioned in the lofty levels of the Museum and thoroughly surprised the audience with a superb collection of songs. The entire band was professional and accommodating around all manner of challenges with the event.

Jamie and the Gents
We had Jamie and the Gents perform for our ball of approx 500 people and they were absolutely incredible!! We have had such good feedback from everyone that attended, with many people telling us that they were the best band that we have ever had (and we have held a ball every year for more than 20 years, so that is quite an achievement!). The dance floor was full the moment the stood up to start another set. I could not recommend them any more highly!
28 Jul 2018
The Pickups
On behalf of the RCSA, I just wanted to say thank you so much to all of your musicians in the PickUps for creating such an incredible event. You had the dance floor packed from the end of dessert until we had to finish up at 11.30pm with guests wanting more and more! We have received many compliments from our guests about the bands range and the way you kept the party moving. In fact some said it was the best band that they’d ever heard. Thank you.
20 Jul 2018
The Relatives
We recently booked The Relatives, a local band from Wellington to play at a private function. They had the whole crowd absolutely rocking the entire night. I would highly recommend this band to anyone, and if we’re ever back in Wellington doing another gig, we’ll certainly book the boys again!

Blue Steel
I booked two bands with Charlie at Find a Band for a major event I was running in Auckland over 4 days. Charlie at Find a Band with a dream to deal with, professional and prompt in her replies.

15 Jun 2018
Asch-Rose
We used FindaBand to look for a live entertainer for the Auckland leg of our our roadshow. The process was easy as we were able to select after seeing playlists and hearing samples of the bands from their website. We booked Asch Rose. Asch-Rose was brilliant! Really lovely voice and soulful performance. She was very well received and in fact, one of our guests asked us how to book her.
09 Jun 2018
TJ Taotua
I discovered the amazing talent of TJ Taotua online and contacted Findaband to request to have him play at our wedding.

Findaband were so easy to work with and happy to answer any questions we had.

Dragonfly
Dragonfly were fantastic at Vodafone Derby Day. They arrived in the afternoon and set the tone for a wonderful evening playing a mixture of songs from classic to modern and some of our kiwi favourites. Many customers and staff in our marquee commented on how great the band was and it lifted the energy in the room. Sam and Joseph are both great to work with and their set-up and pack down seamless.

Becks and Michael
We had a fantastic experience with the team from FindaBand. They were incredibly helpful when it came to narrowing down an artist to perform at our wedding. Throughout the whole process they offered prompt communication and were always happy to help. Becks and Michael were OUTSTANDING! They had the dance floor pumping the entire night. They read the crowd well and mixed it up for all age groups. They put 110% into their performance and were super easy to deal with - we couldn't have been any happier with our choice.
02 Jun 2018
Kid Radio
The guys in Kid Radio (via Find A Band) blew away the crowd at our wedding with their fun energy, extreme talent and diverse selection of full songs and medleys/mash-ups that kept all of us dancing until the very end. They exceeded every expectation, and I would hire them again tomorrow.
19 May 2018
Kid Radio
We had Kid Radio from Findaband perform at our wedding. The band were brilliant! Very friendly, professional, great performers and looked like they were enjoying what they were doing. We would highly recommend these guys, they are fun and play a mixture of new and old tunes without the typical juke box/karaoke songs. If you want to get people on the dance floor, THIS IS YOUR BAND.
16 May 2018
Blue Steel
Findaband super easy to deal with - quick responses to all my questions and they recommended the perfect band for our event (so much so that we talked them in to playing for a bit longer!) Certainly made life easy to get things organised.

Kid Radio
Kid Radio - fantastic covers, suitable for a wide age range and guaranteed to get everyone up! Kid Radio played at our recent wedding at the Hunting Lodge in Waimauku.

They even had the bar staff showing their moves!
14 Apr 2018

Amelie played at our annual industry awards ceremony last week, they were the perfect backdrop to our networking sessions playing a wonderful collection of songs that helped set the mood for the night.

Jamie and the Gents
Jamie and the Gents played at my work's Christmas party which I organised. We had an audience of people ranging from age 20-65, and the band managed to play songs which appealed to everyone! Lots of my colleagues commented on how good the band was and said it made the night. Findaband was also very easy to deal with and made organising the band hassle free. Would definitely use the band and Findaband again!

Blue Steel
Findaband were not only extremely professional and efficient to deal withl, but they left nothing to chance and followed up in a timely manner with clear steps at every communication point. Our selected band, Blue Steel, were supreme on the night. The feedback was consistently high from the all of the team including “I have never seen a room get up and dance on the first song performed by the band” it was unreal and a very successful night. The play list selected was perfect and appealed to the different age range.
24 Nov 2017
iJebu Pleasure Club
We are so so grateful we found findaband. Through them we got Ijebu Pleasure Club to perform at our wedding and they seriously exceeded expectations. Findaband staff were a dream to deal with the whole way through and the band members were so professional. I worried that we were squishing them into too small of a space but they managed it perfectly. They worked the room so well so the volume was just right and perfect for dancing. Everyone wanted to know where we found the band. Totally recommend findaband!

13 Jul 2017
Vintage Blue
Vintage Blue played at my wedding and as soon as they started performing I knew I had chosen the right band. They had to perform outside in rather chilly temperatures but the sound was up to recording standards. They provided a nice background music for everyone to listen, have a chat, and just relax to and it was exactly the atmosphere I wanted for my reception. Thank you once again for your great contribution to my special day.
17 May 2017
The Relatives Duo
Findaband was so easy to deal with. I was able to select after seeing playlists and hearing samples of the bands from their website. The night went great, and everyone was really thrilled with the band we had chosen The Relatives (2 piece). The sound from the 2 piece was great for approx. 70 people.
