Introducing Mr Wayne Anderson Singer of Songs
Star of the TVNZ Mockumentary "Glory Days"
Wayne Anderson sings songs from the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies, Eighties and Nineties. He's got a huge three and a half octave voice and performs to karaoke CD's of all the classics. He can sing ten minutes, he can sing up to an hour and is in my humble opinion the greatest singer that I've had the pleasure to hear in the wider Manurewa area if not the world.
If you love the classics and classic looks and think most modern music is sadly lacking in these departments then Mr. Wayne Anderson might just be the performer you need.
Having an office party? Getting married? Are you in need of cheering up? Music puts wings on the spirit and Wayne Anderson is Mr. Music.
Influences:
Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck, Elvis, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, Neil Diamond, Pat Boone...and so the list goes on, basically the "big-voiced ballad singers" of the 1960s-70s

Jasper Hawkins was born and raised in Nelson, New Zealand, and now lives in Auckland where he performs on a regular basis. His passion lies in both playing music and song writing. He also has a love for the instruments themselves which led him to taking Paddy Burgin’s guitar making course in Wellington in 2011. The guitar he made (named Stevie) is a beautiful OM style guitar based loosely on a martin construction. It has a beautiful dynamic response and Jasper often uses it during performances along with his Cole Clark Fat Lady. He regularly performs his original compositions with a band and also plays solo acoustic shows. Jasper’s style has evolved over the years and he is best known for his raw yet smooth vocals and colourful finger picking style that creates a dynamic set with one voice and one guitar. He also performs his music with other talented Auckland musicians which adds a whole new dimension to the experience. He is an energetic performer and enjoys engaging the audience by telling the stories behind his songs. One particular fan summed up his music in the following way:
“I love your music. I truly do. It gives me energy to hear it and it inspires me to keep the main thing the main thing – loving people and enjoying good times and experiences together”.

STRATMAN AND ROBIN "THE DYNAMIC DUO"
I would like to introduce Toyah Jensen aka Robin to you. Toyah is going to join the show as the lead vocalist in this dynamic new act. Toyah says " I had my start in music fairly young with both my parents exposing me to their eclectic tastes and both sides of my family having backgrounds in theatre and jazz. I started singing at age 12 doing talent shows and progressed to karaoke competitions and then my own bands throughout my college years. I have been lucky to have met many talented and accomplished people along the way who have helped grow and mould me by introducing me to new influences and encouraging me to try new things stylistically to evolve as a vocalist. I met Marty at a gig local to our family bach and since then he has been a massive influence and mentor to me. I look forward to creating something special with him as a musical partnership and sharing it with other people."
" You were absolutely fabulous! So glad I got you along for my 40th! All guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and you really helped me have a fantastic night. I truly recommend Stratman and Robin for any birthday! " Lauren (April 2022) "
"We highly recommend Stratman and Robin! Their setlist last night was perfect and was enjoyed by us all and thanks so much for allowing us to pay tribute to our beautiful friend Toni with a champagne toast and a moving rendition of Wish You Were Here. Should you be keen on live music for your next special event, hit up Marty Mitchell for a booking. We will be having them back in March for our joint birthday celebrations." Joy (January 2022) "
We enjoyed the band for my dad's 60th birthday party and are completely blown away by how good they are! All communication was super easy and the entire show was fun, exciting and worth every cent! Got people up dancing and having a fantastic time. Toyah's voice is incredible and Marty's guitar playing is insanely fantastic! Would highly recommend this band to everyone! " Angelique (June 2021)

Sandpiper is the coming together of musicians Dylan Storey and Catherine Walker, who join forces to take you on a journey of late 60s/early 70s easy-listening rock by the likes of Cat Stevens, The Temptations, Carly Simon and many more. The band has a strong emphasis on vocal harmonies and catchy songs that are a bit off the beaten track compared to the usual covers band repertoire, but still well known and ‘sing-alongeable’.
