Hi Chris
Just a short note of thanks for a great night. To be honest great doesn't cover it.
I really don't know how to describe the evening other than, you created an atmosphere that was very special and very unique.
We have a saying, which is part of the training we give our managers and sales staff and that is " You alone set the tone" You sure hit the mark in setting the tone for our group.
I know there were several people in our group who were keen to talk to you regarding booking you for future events.
Your act, energy and talent were the talk of the conference. Your ability to get everyone involved was amazing. I have been to many conference functions over the years but I can truly say I have never enjoyed an evening as much as the one you put on for us.
We wish all the best for the future, and don't change a thing.

"Adjusted His Performance to Suit... interface with guests and audience participation very special... virtually everyone was dancing... an outstandingly talented performer... includes comedy with his musical performance... a competent and professional entertainer, with adaptability for a wide range of functions."
Farmlands Trading Society Ltd
On the recommendation of Celebrity Speakers (NZ) Ltd, I recently contracted Chris Moore to provide entertainment during the formal dinner at our company's National Conference. I had had no previous dealings with Chris and relied primarily on the recommendation.
I was delighted with the way in which Chris adjusted his performance to suit the format of our dinner. During the first two courses, he circulated among the tables, effectively as a minstrel, playing background music. Once the main course was completed, Chris commenced what is perhaps best described as a "floor show" performance based on the history of popular music with the performance of cover versions. The interface with our guests and audience participation made this very special. In spite of our team being 35 men and 10 women, virtually everyone was dancing to Chris's music. He is an outstandingly talented performer.
Chris includes comedy with his musical performance, He takes infrequent and very short breaks, during his performance. His technical equipment is excellent and enhances his performance.
Later in the evening as some guests departed from the venue, Chris, after consulting with myself, assumed a casual position at a table with his guitar, playing requests for those still keen to party.
I am pleased to recommend Chris Moore as a competent and professional entertainer, with adaptability for a wide range of functions.

"Triumph at Company 35th Birthday... controlled the evening to schedule... amused and entertained... well researched stories written to song re various staff members... later the dance floor was always packed...organised... flexible to work with... hugely experienced and very talented... knows how to entertain and deliver fun."
Chris Moore was a triumph at our company 35th Birthday party. Asked to act as MC, entertainer and one man dance band, he controlled the evening to schedule, amused and entertained with well researched stories written to song re various staff members and then later in the evening we rocked the night away. The dance floor was always packed. Chris was well organised, on time and easy and flexible to work with. He is a hugely experienced and very talented musician who knows how to entertain and deliver fun. We will have him back and we strongly recommend him.

"Everyone in Fits of Laughter All Night.. hitchhiker on the side of the road... guitar in hand... immediately starts pumping up the atmosphere of the exhausted audience... had us all up singing and dancing for the entire night... Chris was amazing... the night was an absolute blast... an amazing night out... the best entertainment you will ever get."
For PKMC's 5 year anniversary Paul decided that he would take the whole staff out on a day that we would never forget.
The whole day was months of organising from Rock and Ice and the entire day was kept a secret from 31 staff members. So at the end of an exhausting day after abseiling, helicopter rides etc we were travelling along to Washpen Falls for dinner when Peter from Rock and Ice shouts out "hey look theres a hitchhiker on the side of the road, shall we pick him up??" So of course we pick him up and on walks Chris Moore, guitar in hand, smile on the dial, who immediately starts playing a song and pumping up the atmosphere of the exhausted audience. Everyone (still in the dark) is like who is this crazy fella??? So Chris is asked to come along for the night to play for us in exchange for a couple of beers and a feed. 10 mins later we arrive at Washpen Falls where Chris has immediately started to get right into the swing of things, which had us all up singing and dancing for the entire night.
Chris was amazing, for a one-man band with only a guitar and tambourine this guy sure makes alot of noise, Chris had everyone in fits of laughter all night, from his comical jokes and ridiculing of staff members (info provided to Chris prior of course), the night was an absolute blast.
For an amazing nite out filled with contagious fits of laughter,
boogeing, and the best entertainment you will ever get, I say VOTE CHRIS MOORE!
Thanks Chris from everyone at PKMC!! We won't forget you in a hurry! (P.S - a comment from a couple of our guys on the night "Is this guy really a hitchhiker???") Washpen Falls - Rakaia - 13 April 2003.

"One of the Worlds Best-kept Secrets... guaranteed to entertain... a wide repertoire that suits all ages... unique blend of music, commentary and comedy combined with his skill at working an audience make for a memorable time every time."
I'm conscious as I write this that I might be doing myself a disfavour. I don't want to recommend Chris Moore to anyone else - I want to make sure he remains one of the world's best-kept secrets so that he is available only to us. But that would be selfish of me and I guess I have some sort of social responsibility to make sure that anyone else who wants a rollicking great night out need go no further than to ask Chris to come along.
With no fancy sound gear or other artificial props, Chris and his trusty guitar are guaranteed to entertain. He has joined us at two of our team conferences and both times has been a highlight. He will be welcomed back any time. With a wide repertoire that suits all ages, his unique blend of music, commentary and comedy combined with his skill at working an audience make for a memorable time every time.
I just hope no one else finds out….

From a bedraggled hitchiker to an honorary patriot - Chris captivated our team, dishing out as much as he copped from a busload of Aussies who lapped him up straight away.
From the moment he took the stage, there was no stage. Chris allowed for no obstructions, just pure, energised, down to earth campfire fun, music, entertainment and dancing all night long... and it didn't stop until we arrived back at the doorstep of our hotel.
Thanks for being you and making our night one to always remember.

Chris was awesome, he has the knack of including all ages and getting everyone to dance. We were married in a winery and he ended up playing 'unplugged', outside with everyone dancing bare foot on the lawn.
His energy is endless, which creates a perfect atmosphere for a fun wedding. Chris has played for us at 2 family weddings, and lots of friends weddings, each time guests have commented on the fantastic entertainer.

"Within minutes of starting his first song the guests were drifting towards the music, within half an hour we were all fighting for space on the dance floor... an awesome entertainer, brilliant musician and you made our night just perfect."
17th November 2001
Chris played at our wedding for our 130 guests and within minutes of starting his first song the guests were drifting towards the music. Within half an hour, hardly anyone was seated and we were all fighting for space on the dance floor. He got everyone up and going and the topic of conversation all night was "where did you find him; he's brilliant".
We wanted to make the night as informal as possible and ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves. With Chris as our musician we didn't have to do a thing - Chris and his music did it all for us.
Thank you Chris you are an awesome entertainer, brilliant musician and you made our night just perfect.
