IF YOU WANT YOUR FUNCTION TO BE A SUCCESS MAKE SURE YOU BOOK TIM!
Thank you so much for playing at my 40th Birthday last month you helped make my night absolutely perfect. For anyone who is looking for a band to play at any function stop looking you have found the best person ever. I found Tim on the internet and didn’t get a chance to see him perform before booking him so I had to take pot luck. After choosing my favourite songs from his extensive song list I noticed one problem. He didn’t play any Bon Jovi. I mentioned this to him and he said he was happy to learn a song especially for me for the night. And he did. He had everyone dancing and having great time. I received so many comments in the days after the party about the music and how fantastic it was. If you want your function to be a success make sure you book Tim.
Kindest regards

YOU GUYS WERE THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR WEDDING
We just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou for making our special day even more memorable. You guys were the highlight of our wedding.
Every single person at our wedding has commented on the personal touch you added, and had a blast dancing and singing the night away.
The professionalism you showed throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding gave me one less thing to worry about. The fact that you agreed to stay longer after our mishap with the boat timing, shows that not only are you a great guy, but are truly one of the most professional people i have met during my wedding planning. Most would ask for extra money or would flat out refuse, you had no issue with playing for the extra time, and for that all i can say is a HUGE thank you!!!
The music you chose was perfect for our night, and kept everyone entertained, we couldn't have picked a better mix of music ourselves.
Finally we would love to thank you yet again for the MC work you did throughout the night. We had a hard enough time trying to decide on the perfect MC, and in the end we couldn't have thought of anyone better then you. The fact that we hadn't met made no difference, we feel through the many emails over the 6 months leading up the the big day gave you a great insight into the type of people Brad and I are, and this showed in your work. You kept the night running smoothly and kept everyone in line ( including those few who had too many champers ) .
We just want to have another party and have you play again!!!!
Thank you Thank you Thankyou.
Brad & Jodie Turner
THERE ARE SO MANY ASPECTS OF YOUR SERVICE I WANT TO MENTION
Thanks so much Tim for your awesome performance at our wedding. There are so many aspects of your service I want to mention.
The website in the first instance, was great. Everything I needed to know was on those pages. Price was reasonable. The wedding song list - I did not want to choose the reception songs, I thought it was great that a narrowed down list of really good wedding songs was supplied for us. (You had a great mix that I knew everyone would love), From your performance and numerous emails we could tell that you were very friendly, professional and experienced (ie. had done weddings before). The price was extremely reasonable. You were a great person to deal with, always responding to my emails very efficiently, listened to what Paul and I wanted and incorporated those things and also had some great suggestions and just a very friendly always answered my questions which was a big issued with other vendors and generally just a nice down to earth person - what else could a bride/groom ask for ?
Your performance was fantastic - great songs, great voice, and you did a wonderful job MC'ing as well, exactly what we wanted for our wedding
Our expectations were exceeded ...so many people at the wedding and also afterwards have said to Paul and I how fantastic they thought you were - two of my cousins who are getting married next year asked for web address and details !! There is nothing I would change if I could about Tim’s wedding service – it was fantastic !
Thanks again.
Gabrielle & Paul Cheeseman
WE'VE NEVER BEEN TO A WEDDING BEFORE WITH SO MUCH DANCING!
Thankyou so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding reception. Throughout the course of the night and the following weeks there has not been one single guest that hasn't mentioned how great the music was and how it really topped everything off perfectly. We've never been to a wedding before with so much dancing. Thankyou for the fantastic energy and atmosphere you helped create. Thankyou so much.
Tegan & Jonathon.
WE THANK YOU DEARLY - WHAT A BLAST
Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a blast. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it to be and our belief in backing talent has been reaffirmed. The obvious fact that everybody had such a good time was evident by how many of our friends and family enjoyed your wonderful talent and spent most of the night on the dance floor. It is one thing to watch an entertainer play covers but it is another to watch an entertainer do covers and truly believe that you are feeling the real thing (we believe this is your true talent).
The number of people who witnessed you rip the broken string of your guitar during the ceremony and not miss a beat is testimony to your professionalism. We, as you know, would not have noticed, however our guests were impressed and expressed this to us.
You were an integral part of the unification of our family and we thank you dearly.
Scott & Tracey Cunliffe.
THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOUNDED AMAZING AND MADE OUR CEREMONY EXTRA SPECIAL
Glenn and I would like to thank you for performing such a class act on our wedding day!
The acoustic guitar sounded amazing at the lighthouse and made our ceremony extra special, and as for the duo evening entertainment… what can we say! Everyone was up and dancing from the word go… and could have danced well into the hours of the morning if you'd kept playing! The selection of songs played kept everyone happy from our 7 year old niece to our 80 year old Nan! It was tremendous to see such a mixture of generations on the dance floor having such a great time!
It is with many thanks to you that we have these cherished memories of our day!
Kathryn and Glenn Filtness
THE MUSIC WAS 'THE ICING ON THE CAKE' AT THE CEREMONY
Tim was highly recommended to us by a family member who was lucky enough to see him perform at another wedding. We had several phone calls and conversations via email leading up to our wedding day, however we actually met Tim for the first time on the wedding day were Tim was very accommodating due to the nature of our cliff top wedding and extremely professional.
The wedding ceremony went without a hitch (apart from my wife being late!) The three songs we had chosen (two of which Tim had to learn from scratch) were great especially the Keith Urban song (Memories of us). Watching a DVD of the ceremony the music was the ‘icing on the cake’ to the whole set-up. Tim’s acoustic sound, due to the lack of electricity at the location we had chosen, was more than adequate to entertain the 80+ people gathered for the ceremony.
We are extremely glad we chose Tim to perform at our wedding and will be recommending him to friends and colleagues who require musical accompaniment for their special occasions.
Simon & Nikki Ley
THANKYOU FOR HELPING US HAVE THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES
Scott and I would like to thank yourself, Derek and Oona for the time and effort put into our wedding. It was not only what we expected on the night but more, both you and Oona were in contact with me at all times before the wedding which I found very calming and professional.
There is not one guest that has not metioned how great the band was and questioned us on who and where you guys are from. You are exactly what Scott and I wanted to have on our Wedding Day, a band that new how to party along with the guests and make everyone stay on the dance floor and we got exactly that. I can't say it enough but thank you for helping us have the best night of our lives
Thank you
Scott and Tymeka Lawson
A FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE
Thankyou for an amazing performance at our wedding. From the first song to the last, a flawless performance. On the night you provided just the right atmosphere and not one person needed encouragement to get on the dance floor. We are still getting feedback from our guests letting us know how much they enjoyed the Band. Looking forward to your next gig!
Michael & Louise Hughes.
EVERYONE SAID IT WAS THE BEST WEDDING THEY HAD BEEN TO
Well, we've always been fans of live music and when it came to our special day we knew a DJ just wouldn't cut it. To find the right musicians though is like looking for a needle in a hay stack, so we are more than happy to share our secret with lovers of great music and fun times! When it comes to your special day, you want it to be memorable and fun and thanks Tim, you gave us exactly that! Great covers of all our favourite toones (sic) by Bernard Fanning, You Am I, Hoodoo Gurus, Paul Kelly, The Chilli Peppers, Eagles...you name it there was something for everyone. How good do you sound? We sang, danced, partied all night...everyone said it was the best wedding they had been to and that you guys really rocked - big time. Thanks for the music, thanks for the care and passion you put into making our big day so memorable, we haven't stopped smiling.
Best regards
Theresa and Marc Beaumont
A FIRST CLASS AND UPLIFTING PERFORMANCE
Any marriage is a special day but when a perfect afternoon is coupled with great food, superb wine and the top class entertainment supplied by you, it resulted in a day that will be remembered for sometime to come. Tim you will form part of our memories for providing such a first class and uplifting performance that not only left my wife and I wanting more but our entire wedding party young and old asking where we managed to find such a class act.
Tim, Kellie and I thank you dearly for helping to create a perfect day by assisting us, in every step leading up to the wedding and also for your professionalism and inspiring music on the night.
Thank you

EVERYONE FROM GRANDCHILDREN TO GRANDPARENTS GOT UP TO STRUT THEIR STUFF!
Abby and I would like to thank you very much for the fantastic job you guys did at our Wedding! What can we say; the Tim Pringle Duo Act rocked the ‘casbah’!
Tim kept the dance floor alive from start to finish, with a fantastic energy and vibe which did not wane throughout the evening. They did it all, from mingling with the guests to making the most of the small area they had to work with. Everyone from grandchildren to grandparent got up to strut their stuff! The music selection catered for all ages and was well arranged to keep guests on the floor all night. The Duo was continually complemented by guests (some of which were musicians themselves!) throughout the evening and after the event. Tim also worked in with the staff at our venue as well as our chosen MC to ensure a professional and seamless arrangement for our wedding.
Thank you Tim, not just for the performance on the night but also for the professionalism and care you showed toward us both during the planning stages of the wedding, which essentially gave us one less thing to worry about! Yet again, we would like to express our appreciation to both yourself and your duo partner for helping us in making our day unforgettable! We will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a lively and entertaining act!
Iain & Abby Robinson
WE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER
We wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your performance at our wedding on the 17th of March. Thankyou so much for your expert interpretation of our wedding song at the ceremony. We had many many comments from our guests regarding how good you were as a duo and solo act. We could not have been happier. Everyone was up dancing and all our guests commented on what a great repertoire you had! We were delighted with our choice and thank you both again for adding so much to our day. We had a fantastic night and will recommend you to anyone who asks.
Mark & Elaine Dempsey
OUR GUESTS ENJOYED THE EVENING LISTENING TO LIVE MUSIC INSTEAD OF A DJ
The wedding was a
tremendous success and Alex and I would like to thank you for your part
in making it such a great day. A number of our guests commented on both
the choice and quality of music you played and said how much they had
enjoyed the evening listening to live music instead of a dj. In
particular I'd like to say thanks for coming up with a perfect opening
number after we had failed miserably to agree on our 'first dance' song
-- your choice was impeccable!
All in all it was a great night at a great spot with some great music -
just what we wanted our wedding to be like.
Mark & Alex Green
WE FELT THAT LIVE MUSIC WOULD BE BETTER THAN A DJ - IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!
While planning our wedding reception, we knew what we DIDN’T want………..a DJ blasting out the usual Funky Town and Nutbush. We had seen Tim at a gig, and felt that live entertainment would be much better. It turned out to be the best decision we made. Tim not only entertained our guests at the reception, but learned songs of our choosing for the ceremony, and took on the MC duties. Comments from our guests ranged from how lovely the acoustic guitar at the ceremony was, to how professional and entertaining Tim was during the reception. From our point of view, we knew we had one less thing to worry about.
Thank you Tim for making the both the day itself, and the lead up to it as painless and worry free as possible.
Heather and Shane Buckley
REALLY APPRECIATE YOU DOING THE MC DUTIES AT THE RECEPTION, THANKS FOR ENSURING THE NIGHT RAN SMOOTHLY
A big thank you from Simon & I for the awesome music you provided at our wedding on 18th October 2008. Your Website gave me comfort that you were experienced with wedding gigs. Song lists looked like the type of music our guests would enjoy. Responsiveness to emails was very good. Having you play some of our favourite songs at the ceremony was brilliant, it helped make the service really special for us and enjoyable for our guests.. I don't remember the bridal procession music unfortunately, so didn't get to enjoy One Crowded Hour, as I was a bit nervous & focusing on getting up the aisle without crying or tripping over. Really appreciate you doing the MC duties at the reception, thanks for ensuring that the night ran smoothly. The music that you and Mike played after dinner was fantastic & had everyone dancing for hours, including our parents which was so much fun. A lot of our guests have mentioned how good you guys were & that they had such a good time. Thank you for helping to make our wedding so enjoyable.
Alison & Simon Freeman
THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR MC AND CONDUCTING THIS WITH A SINCERE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and being our MC, we had a fantastic day!! We thank you Tim for making our day so very very special. The music and its quality are often what people remember most from a wedding, both us and our guests were certainly impressed. It was fabulous to see such a mix of generations on the dance floor having such a wonderful time!! We were also very grateful for the varied song list we had to choose from and even more so with how you learnt our song for the first dance in such a short period of time. As we were living overseas when we placed our booking we were very happy with the service you provided, not only on the night but in the proceeding weeks. Thank you for also being our MC and conducting this with a sincere level of professionalism, it is with thanks to you that we have such great memories of our day!
Sue and Scott Falkner
THE TIM PRINGLE DUO ABSOLUTELY ROCKS
The Tim Pringle Duo absolutely rocks, you guys did a wonderful job at our wedding and we could not have being happier with how the night went! Everyone was up and dancing and could have danced well into the wee hours of the morning! The feedback was all positive, thanks again guys and look forward to catching up with you at one of your many gigs.
Yvette and James Roberts
EVERYONE THAT CAME SAID THEY HAD AN ABSOLUTE BALL
When my husband proposed to me the one thing we knew immediately, was
that we wanted Tim Pringle to be the entertainment. Everyone that came
said they has an absolute ball and that the music was what made it so
great. There was not one person who did not get up and have a dance, from
our 7 year old daughter to our grandparents. Tim accomodated every request
we had, we only gave him 10 weeks notice about the wedding and he still
managed to learn 2 new songs which will always be special to us because of
that day.
Tony and I would like to thank Tim for helping to make our special day
just perfect for not only the bride and groom but also the guests.
Tony & Nicholle Preston
TIM TOOK REQUESTS AND DID NOT DISAPPOINT
From the initial phone contact, to meeting Tim in person on our wedding day,
both Erin and myself were impressed. His web site provided a song list which
appealed to us both, and we found it easy to converse via email in order
to set a songlist for the wedding.
Both Tim and his duo partner presented themselves
professionally at the reception, and were friendly from the outset. The
songs were performed brilliantly, and all guests were up dancing in no time.
Tim also took requests, and did not disappoint.
Thanks Tim for the memories.
Regards,
Brendan and Erin Johnston
WE HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON THE NIGHT
Thank you for making our Wedding so amazing. Having live
entertainment at our reception was absolutely the icing on the cake;
it was a personal touch that made the day a memorable one for
everyone. You played our favourite songs and had everyone up on the
dance floor - all night long! We had so many compliments on the
night, and we know we have you to thank... so from the bottom of our
hearts, thank for making our night!

Music & Trivia Show Testimonials
THE BEST, MOST ENTERTAINING AND MOST MEMORABLE EVENING EVER
We have sailed on over a dozen luxury Cruise Ships all over the World, each featuring fine entertainers and great Trivia sessions (which we always attend), but when we stumbled upon Tim Pringle’s Music & Trivia night in the Lakes Hotel at The Entrance last November, we witnessed what we still consider to have been the best, most entertaining and most memorable such evening ever. Tim adds a new dimension & infectiousness to Trivia sessions which tends to draw-in people who would otherwise have remained mere bystanders. We’ll definitely be seeking-out Tim’s show next time we visit the Central Coast, and meanwhile thank Tim for our very best night out in 2006.

Private function Testimonials
THE MUSIC CATERED FOR ALL AGES AND PROVIDED A WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE
Book Tim Pringle for your next event, he was brilliant!
Almost every guest at my party commented on how great he was. The music catered for all ages and provided a wonderful atmosphere. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tim for any function. Don’t think twice about it, way better than a DJ or jukebox. Thank you so much, Tim.
Amie Graham (30th Birthday Party)
TIM'S SOLO PERFORMANCE WAS EVERYTHING WE WANTED
We danced and sang for hours and still couldn’t get enough. Tim was excellent. Not only was he professional, organised and courteous, he sang all the songs we wished for plus learnt a few new ones specifically for us.
Tim’s solo performance was everything we wanted. The live music impressed everyone and the guests said it was the best party they had ever been to. Thanks for making it a great night.
Mark & Gay Peters (40th Birthday Party)

Great sounds, we were walking out the door and heard a great version of Soft Cell after hearing early Beatles and had to come back and steal a front bar table to hear some more. Thanks for a great birthday!

A man who takes on U2, The Beatles and Tracey Chapman songs and succeeds is a man worthwhile in my book!
