Willow's Birthday Party in Newcastle, Sep 2024

WOW! Hiring Roger to play for my Mothers Birthday Party was the best decision I made. He start with lovely acoustic music while lunch was being served, and by the end of the boat cruise had everyone up dancing! I could recommend Roger more highly!!



Gary's Event in Shortland, May 2024

Highly recommend Roger
