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

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" |

a true professional (which helped keep our stress
levels to a minimum!) and your experience of events
really shone through. I would not hesitate in recommending
you to others organising any type of event; large
or small. You are an absolute joy to work with,
and we wish you all the best for the future. Best

"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." |

"Steve,
thank you so much for your attendance at Ladies

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." |

"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" |

| 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" |

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" |
