| "Steve Walls was the host at the opening event at The Vermont Hotel in Newcastle. He gave a great performance in making everyone feel at ease and welcomed. He then regaled us with a repertoire of songs spanning the decades. A cool, relaxed entertainer who would successfully grace any occasion" |
| |
| Julian Weightman; Tynedale Business Awards Chairman |
| "With all events, you rely on your compere and entertainer to pull of that special job to ensure all your guests have a great night. Steve certainly did that for us at the Tynedale Business Awards at Langley Castle. He is a natural entertainer, and has the ability to judge the mood of the audience in seconds. As with all events, the success is judged by those who attend. To date, the feedback we've had on Steve's performance has been excellent. He ran the awards with ease, and ensured everyone had a good laugh! I would without question recommend Steve to anyone organising an event." |

| “Steve came to us recommended by someone who attended one of his other functions at the Hilton in Newcastle. To say the least, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I was so thrilled to be in such capable and professional hands. The evening was a great success, and we’ve had some tremendous feedback from our guests who thought the night was the best we’d had so far. Without a doubt Steve was just fantastic !! I am so looking forward to next year, as we have asked Steve back for a second time, so here’s to another great night”. |

know, people look far and wide for expertise and sometimes
its just staring right at you!!! Thank you so much
for all of your help at our ‘maiden voyage’.

us through a brilliant evening" |
| |
| Amy Wilson; Community Fundraiser - St Oswald's Hospice |
| “Steve
was a terrific host, funny at the right times, clever,
witty and really really kept the show moving. The
event was extremely technical and took a great deal
of co-ordination by the hosts, and Steve rose to the
challenge without a flicker. He even dropped in a
song for us at the end of the show. He was professional,
did extremely well at selling both the Heads and Tails
and the Auction and worked well with his wonderful
co host Kim Inglis. “I was so impressed with
Steve I have already booked him for next year’s
event" |

and engaging, an excellent evening superbly hosted,
I’d recommend Steve to anyone.” |

him to anyone for other such roles". |

was a fantastic MC for our Awards dinner in Brussels
in September this year. He established a great rapport
with guests and award winners alike and really kept
the momentum of the evening going. His passion for
the Beatles was evident when he introduced the entertainment
for the evening, the Bootleg Beatles, in such a way
to whet the crowd's appetite. We look forward to working
with Steve again in the future". |

Your professionalism and confidence instantly created

would just like to say this lad (Steve Walls) was
a great compere. He is very professional, and made

| Sir
Leonard Fenwick; Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust chief
executive |
| "I
would like to congratulate everyone involved in the
success of the Charlie Bear Ball. It was a wonderful
evening, and all credit should go to Compere, Steve
Walls. This proved to be an inspired choice. A talented
all round performer who would be invaluable to any
event. I particularly enjoyed his singing during dinner.
The money raised from the auction, far and away exceeded
our expectations. We enjoyed heads and tails, and
he even made the raffle entertaining! You always felt
the event was in safe hands, well done to Steve, Pzazz
Events, Angie, Christine and all involved in what
was a very successful evening for Charlie Bear". |
| |
| Des
O'Connor |
| "It
is great to see a young man who knows how to host
a show as it should be run. I was impressed that not
only Steve could sing, and do comedy, he also give
me one of the best introductions i have had for many
years. He does it with warmth, charm and a big smile
on his face. It's a pity there aren't the TV openings
these days that there once were, as he would be perfect.
That said, Steve will never be short of work, and
i wish him the very best of luck in his career". |

| Carole
Beverley; Chief Executive, Entrepreneurs Forum |

Steve, I wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank
you for Compering for us at the Newcastle Hilton Hotel
last week. You are a truly multitalented and an exceptional
entertainer and your enthusiasm and professionalism
contributed immensely to the success of the evening.
We raised over £59,000 and could not have done
this without everyone having a thoroughly enjoyable
evening. You were a delight to work with and reduced
my stress levels ten fold. I sincerely hope that we
can work together in the future and wish you much
success in your career". |
