We've also included links to a few businesses that we're happy to recommend based on our experience of working with them. We do not accept payment in cash or in kind for these endorsements - they're genuine recomendations.
Thoughtscape Strategic Communications
Like our website? Do you think it's well written, easy to find your way around and pretty good looking? Talk to Thoughtscape! Websites are only one of a range of strategic marketing communications services they offer, and the quality of their work is second to none. We cannot recommend them highly enough! And yes, we'd say that even if Dave wasn't married to one of their consultants!
Jazzopoly's female vocalist Margot Leighton and guitar/bass player Tim Nikolsky delight listeners with what they call 'caffeine inspired jazz'. They perform regularly around Melbourne and have released two CDs: "Songs We Know" (as a duo) and "Moonlight Drive at the Famous Blue Raincoat", which also features Melbourne musicians Leo Dale and James Wakeling playing original jazz, seasoned with a liberal dose of latin flavour.
Kinju Quintet
Formed in 2001 by Jazzopoly bass player Tony King, the Kinju quintet is an eclectic blend of jazz, blues, world music and funk. Their debut CD, "Seven Moments", is a collection of Tony's original work and was recorded without prior rehearsal, no retakes and no restriction on the soloists. The result is a joyful, fresh compilation that will delight and intrigue listeners.
Soggy Dog Recording
What do you get when you cross an experienced musician with a recording maestro? Well it's not quite a labradoodle, but it is a Soggy Dog...recording, that is. Steve Vertigan, the man behind Soggy Dog, recorded our Trio de Jazz demo (several clips from which are featured on this site) with supreme talent and good humour.
The Esstee Big Band
Many of Jazzopoly's musicians are members of the Esstee Big Band, one of Melbourne's most popular and entertaining big bands in the grandest style of the genre. Esstee performs both instrumental and vocal big band classics as well as original and more modern works. The band recently released its first CD, and is available for corporate, function, wedding and other performance engagements. If you'd like to see the band, you can catch them on the second and fourth Mondays of every month at Manchester Lane in the city CBD.
Classic and Prestige Car Hire
We do a lot of wedding work and we think it's worth highlighting this company as the best in the business when it comes to luxury wedding cars. Their classic Rolls-Royce cars are magnificent, having been restored to the highest standard. More importantly, the level of service they provide, their attention to every detail and their genuine love for what they do makes them the only choice for your special day.
