Colin Holloway; Marketing Manager; BT Retail
“Dear Steve, Just a quick note, to say thank you for what you did at our BT Sales Conference last week. Ken and I were extremely happy with your performance. It was professional, credible and entertaining, and it added a great deal to our presentation. The response from the sales team was very positive afterwards, and I think we drove home the key messages. If we do this again, I’ll definitely be in touch. Thanks again”

Claire Farrugia, Operations Manager, Tarsus Group Plc
Steve 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.
 
Helen Attley; Events Manager - Ramside Hall Hotel
Steve, thank you so much for your attendance at Ladies Day on 28th February 2010. You certainly played a huge part in ensuring the day ran smoothly and our ladies were kept entertained. You are getting quite a fan base here at the Hotel with lots of parties checking you are hosting the next event when they book. And of course you always keep my nerves at bay when I start to panic. See you for the next one June 13th with Chico ~ can’t wait.
 
Hayley Forster & Kelly Carrotte; Event Organisers - Lots, Frocks and Dickie Bows; Royal Armouries, Leeds September 2009

"It was great to have the continuity of having you there throughout the evening to do the intro, the singing and the auction. We think it tied it all together quite nicely and everyone knew who was in charge!! From our point of view as the event organisers, you were a very reassuring presence. It was great to know that we could have complete trust in you to get on and do the job as we would expect. You were very professional throughout and we could tell how much the crowd loved your singing (especially table 15 we noticed!) We are absolutely thrilled with the amount raised in the auction and can't thank you enough."

 
John Milburn; Director of Hotel Operations - Ramside Estates
"Hi Steve, thought i would drop you line to say a massive thank you for hosting the Oyster Festival last Friday at Hardwick Hall (and of course the Lobster Fest in May) As always, you were first class, and took any worries away from me and the team on the day. This is the sixth year in a row you have hosted for us (I think you can safely say you have passed the audition!) i thought it was about time i told you how much we appreciate what you do for us on our events. The whole show was a great success, and everyone agreed that Patrick Kielty was superb as our guest comedian. Before you put anything in your diary for 2010, make sure the 7th May and 10th September are down for us for the Oyster Festival and Lobster Fest. It wouldn't be the same without you! Best wishes, John."
 
Deborah Ward; Campaign Co-ordinator - Fashion Targets Breast Cancer UK
Dear Steve, We are writing to thank you so much for the Compering the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Fashion Show at the Metro Centre. Your style of Compering was perfect for the event. As you know we held a series of fashion shows throughout the country, and the thanks to you, the Metro Centre Crowd was by far the most responsive, thanks to the way you encouraged them to be involved in the show. Our Sponsors Avon and Miele both commented on how superb you were. Thank you again.
 
Denise Dobson Cudmore; Dandy Event & Party Specialists - Incostume Party Show
"Hi Steve, Thank you so much for your all your hard work at the Ricoh Arena, My client was absolutely delighted and asked to me to forward their thanks . I am confident we will be working together again soon"
 
Sir Bobby Robson; Newcastle Civic Centre (Following the Christmas Light switch on)
"I would just like to say this lad (Steve Walls) was a great compere. He is very professional, and made it very easy for me. I think he deserves a big round of applause"
 
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"
 
Cora Bolsom; Senior Commercial Manager; April-Six Limited
'The team thought you were amazing, I hear you did a great job and really know how to work the crowd. Thank you so much and we will certainly get in touch if another project comes in.'
 
Des O'Connor; September 2008
'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'
 
Steve Dourass; Area Fundraising Manager; Macmillan: Johnny Briggs charity golf day

Dear Steve, Many thanks for compering our staff festival, you were fantastic. We had a lot of feedback about how good you were, and easy to work with. Hope you enjoyed “Leeds talent”! Many thanks.
 
Carole Beverley; Chief Executive, Entrepreneurs Forum
"Dear 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"
 
Jon Harle; Senior producer BBC Newcastle
Steve came to our attention because he hosts most of the major North East Events. We decided we wanted to use him for Children In Need. We weren't disappointed! Steve is great, he has an infectious personality, and had the audience eating out the palm of his hand, He is a real pro!"

Claire Finn; PlanIT Perfectly- Event magement & Party Planning

Hi Steve

Just a quick note, to say thank you very much for your help and support on Friday night. Your professional approach to the evening was appreciated and it made all the difference to the event itself to have someone so professional to take control of the auction and entertainment. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again.

 
Hannah Parrott; NSPCC
Steve was a great MC for our BIG BIKE RIDE and really got the crowd excited and gave the whole event a fantastic atmosphere.
 
 
Most audiences at showcase sessions usually need the showbusiness equivalent of jump-leads to be attached by the compere to get them in the collective swing of things, and maybe just more to the point signify that the entertainment is really underway. To that end and throughout the evening, compere Steve Walls proved an excellent compere, in fact his was one of the best Compering performances seen for a fair while.
Derek Smith; JMA Showcase 2004
 
The most prestigious light entertainment showcase of the year requires a fittingly prestigious venue and Warner’s Thoresby Hall Hotel, nestling nicely in the Nottinghamshire countryside, fitted the bill perfectly as the new home of Showcall. In chirpy, multi-talented Geordie Steve Walls, there was a new compere too - and what a great choice that proved to be.
Derek Smith; Showcall Showcase 2007
 
The Showcall band delivered their final overture and compere Steve Walls, who has been quite a hit this year, strode on looking very smart and suave to make his eighth and final welcome.
Mark Ritchie; Showcall Showcase 2007
 
Steve Walls then had a few minutes to remind us that he is a fine singer and engaging comedian while the stage was set for another act.
Peter Hepple; Showcall Showcase 2005
 
In the event it was genial compere Steve Walls who got the ball rolling. His opening version of Just a Gigolo, followed by expressive warm up chat, set the tone nicely.
