REFERENCE

 

I have had the pleasure of knowing Short ‘N’ Horny on both a professional and personal level for the past five years.  I have used their services in my capacity as an Administrative Assistant with the Faculty of Law at the University of Wollongong, and I have also watch them perform to large audiences as many of their local gigs around Wollongong, the Southern Highlands and Sydney.

 

I have hired the band to play at Faculty Conference dinners and every year our Law Student’s Society conducts an Annual Law Student’s Ball, and for the past three years, they have used Short ‘N’ Horny as the entertainment for the evening.  For the first four years in which I worked for the Faculty, I had never attend this Ball as musically it was never very good, until 1998 when the Society started using the services of Short ‘N’ Horny.

 

Before Short ‘N’ Horny came along, the music for the Ball was provided by Disc Jockeys or bands of an unsuitable nature for a Ball.  Then in 1998 the Society agreed that there was a dire need to change the face of the Ball with regards to both the music and venue.  Thus Short ‘N’ Horny were chosen and the new venue for the Ball became the Novotel Northbeach in Wollongong.

 

These changes proved to be extremely successful.  Never before had a DJ or live band been able to capture the right mood for the evening.  Short ‘N’ Horny provided such a wide range of music from traditional jazz during dinner, through to rock and roll and modern music, giving us a great night of dancing and entertainment.  Which, I might add, left all 300 staff and students raving about the evening for months after the event.  The band also looked the part, as all members were dress is black tuxedos.  Making them a very attractive band to look at as well.

 

With regards to satisfying all musical tastes, it is not easy to find a band that will cater to a wide range of age groups.  The students who attend the Ball every year are usually aged between 18-24 and they have been amazed by the versatility of the band.  I have also seen Short ‘N’ Horny play for more mature crowds and they always leave the audience begging for more.

 

I would have no hesitation in booking the band for any function that requires great entertainment.  They are perfect for weddings, parties, balls, festivals, pubs, clubs and even conference dinners.  The band members themselves are extremely reliable, hardworking, friendly and honest and I feel that this band would enhance any function that they are hired to perform at.
