Having seen The Leanne Crawford Band publicly and then at a corporate event, I decided to hire them for a big night to celebrate my milestone of Elliot Goblet reaching a 1000th corporate event performance.
Leanne was a delight to work with and as I’d witnessed before with her other performances, the response to the band was just fantastic. With a wide range of songs the band very much impressed my guests and several of them picked up the band’s promotional flyer and CD.
Also many people commented about Leanne’s warmth as a singer and her wonderful stage presence.
Through my 24 years in the entertainment industry, I’ve seen lots of bands at corporate events and I believe that The Leanne Crawford Band is one of Australia’s best kept secrets and I would unequivocally recommend them for a corporate, private and public event.

I have had the pleasure of knowing The Leanne Crawford Band for over 2 years. As the Manager of "Bar Deco" at Grand Hyatt Melbourne, it was a pleasure to have this group perform on a weekly basis. Their professionalism and passion for entertaining was evident and filtered through to the audience.
During the period that the band had played at the bar they had developed a great rapport with many of our customers. This was evident with the build up of a regular clientèle on Thursday nights. Through my personal experience the Leanne Crawford band always put the establishment first.
It would be my pleasure to personally recommend the Leanne Crawford Band for any establishment. I know that who ever is lucky enough to have the band play for them will not regret their decision. If you would like any more information regarding the band please feel free to contact me."

I was impressed with The Leanne Crawford Band. They were a delight to work with - being very professional, pro-active and thoughtful in their manner. Their music was fabulous - many people commented to me about how well they played and performed. They were perfectly suited for our needs - as they were able to create a mood and work with the audience appropriately. It was a very long day - and they were suitably animated right until the very end. I would be honored to have the Leanne Crawford Band in our marquee again next year.

I am writing to say how much you added to our 10th Anniversary and Christmas function held at Banks Rowing Club.
Since that evening I have received many complementary comments as to how much everyone enjoyed our party, and this was due to a great extent to your performance and vivacious personality which certainly helped to provide such a great atmosphere. We all noted how your performance varied between being "full on" entertainment to a complementary background.
We congratulate you and your band on the professionalism and enthusiasm you displayed, and we were most impressed with the way you embraced our special night.

I would like to thank you so much for a fantastic performance. It is quite obvious that you love performing, as it shines through… and believe me… many noticed.
You and your band can be very pleased with your work as it contributed to the success of the Awards Gala Dinner.

I attend the Deco Bar at the Grand Hyatt regularly. I am writing to say just how much I have enjoyed the entertainment provided by Leanne Crawford.
In particular, I enjoy the sultry, smooth and warm tones of her performance, which to my mind very much suit the bar. My friends share the same view. More than that Leanne is very welcoming and a joy to chat to in between sets.

Listening to Leanne Crawford is very similar to reading a good book, once you get into it, you can’t put it down, and that’s how Leanne Crawford and her band will affect you, once heard you’ll want to keep listening.
The very relaxing and sultry sounds of the Leanne Crawford Band are easy on the ear and once seen and heard, you’ll feel like the song is just for you.
From the layback "Crazy" to the up-tempo "Mack The Knife", LCB will help you to forget the problems of the world and bring you to a place in your mind where you should be at all times - relaxed.
Leanne Crawford is bright and breezy like a breath of fresh air and you’ll find her that way too.

The entertainment that was on in Sofi's Bar, Sofitel last Saturday was AWESOME!!!
The guests were very satisfied and applauding all the time. A guest even gave them a $100 tip in chash! Leanne who is the vocalist went to every table to see if the guests were happy with their performance. Compliments to them and preferably, if they can play frequently in Sofi's Bar, it would be great!

Ross and I would like to express our sincerest thanks to yourself and the Leanne Crawford Band for your fantastic performance at our wedding and your support leading up to the event.
We had many guests comment on the great atmosphere the band created, and what a superb voice you had! The music perfectly captured the mood we were after – lovely background music for a relaxed Sunday lunch, with some great numbers to get the guests onto the dance floor afterwards.
We were so happy to be able to dance to our dream bridal waltz song (Only You), and were only able to do it as a result of your flexibility and professionalism.
I also really appreciated your visiting the venue prior to the day to help us work out the best set-up for the band.
We will always remember the immportant part you played in making our wedding a success, and will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends.
