“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"
