WEDDING 2024

Thank you sooooo much for playing for our wedding reception!!! You guys were absolutely amazing! We had the best night and all the guests were raving about the band scoring you a 10/10.  They all had sore feet by the end of the night. Our two favourite songs were played “Angels” and “Wagon Wheel”.  Absolutely recommend this lovely band to play at any event. Great song selections which were loved by all. Regards, Kim and Richard.

INDUSTRY DINNER (Cordis ) 2023

We enjoyed Tall Poppies at a recent corporate event. With 400 people in the room it's tricky to cover everyone’s taste in music but Tall Poppies got loads of people on the dance floor! They were easy to work with, were professional, on time and organised!

AWARDS NIGHT  (Dome, Auckland Museum ) 2023

Tall Poppies were great to deal with in the lead up to the event and cooperated well to make sure the organisation and delivery of the event was a success.

On the night, they read the room well and were super interactive with the audience to ensure the dancefloor was full of happy, dancing attendees. They had a load of fun!
