Description

Many people hire DJ's when they book a party. Why? some are looking to save money, others are looking for great music they can dance to, or maybe it's both of these reasons. And that's why we would love for you to consider Absolutely Jack. We are a cover/dance band built on the premise of a successful dance party. We are here to play fun music for people attending corporate events, fundraisers and private parties. We know that a successful function is one where people hear a tune and they say "Oh, I love that song," and they get up and dance. They smile, and they eventually go home with great memories of a great night. So that's what we do: we play the tunes people love, tunes that cross the generations and result in an infectious rhythm that doesn't stop. And we're affordable.

We have a full sound – with great harmonies, a dynamic female lead singer and two great male lead singers, plus keyboards, guitars of course and lots of percussion. We dress well, and we treat our clients with respect.

We also take time to find out the special tunes you love – the tunes that make your event extra special. We'll even invite party guests up on stage to sing along.

Absolutely Jack was created by, and is managed by Steve Prentice, who has been involved in corporate event production for almost 20 years, both as a producer and as a professional speaker. He understands what companies are looking for and the importance of a successful corporate party.

Have a look at the song list in our press kit. We offer fast tunes, and some classic slow ones; some Motown, some disco, and lots of great danceable rock.

We have great fun and it shows, and we would love to share that experience with you.
