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

Today is my day for sending thank you’s, and you are top of my list Steve. Thank you so much for your fabulous entertainment, company and dedication to help us here at Macmillan. It is ''real' stars like you that help us make a genuine difference to the lives of people living with cancer. You gave your time for Macmillan Cancer Support and Johnny - a magnificent gesture. It was a real pleasure working with you and I really do hope that we can work together in the future Steve.

Ann & Dave Hutchinson of Billingham

Steve delivered a truly exceptional performance at our wedding, and his vocal range was outstanding. We have received numerous comments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed his performance and with some even commenting that they thought we had a CD playing!!! Steve really contributed significantly in ensuring our wedding was a huge success and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him as an all round entertainer. Fantastic.

Wendy Gurr and Allan Ostell: Tillmouth Park Hotel and Country Club

"As you were recommended to us for our wedding, we didn't know what to expect. As soon as you begun our first dance, we knew we had made the right choice. You entertained every one of our guests thoroughly, and we can't thank you enough. You had music for literally everyone. Both Allan and I have had lots of friends and family ask for your number for future functions and work related events. We were told you were the best entertainer in the North East.......which we would fully endorse. Once again Steve, thank you for your contribution in making our day so special. We will be in touch."

Inspector Iain Logue; Northumbria Police

"I write to thank you most sincerely for the top class entertainment you provided at the Northumbria Police Charity Dinner. I have received numerous comments of praise from those present, delighted with the quality of your performance. As well as being extremely talented both vocally and as a compere, you light up a room with your presence. You are a delight to deal with and a credit to your profession."

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, not only strong vocally, but an infectious personality. He had the audience eating out the palm of his hand, He is a real pro!"

Dean Sullivan; Actor, Jimmy Corkhill- Brookside

"Steve, as well as being very talented, has a great air of confidence about him, but with humility. I defy even the hardest audience not to be won over by this likeable Geordie; he wowed guests at my Birthday Party."

Carole Beverley; Chief Executive, Entrepreneurs Forum

"Dear Steve, I wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for playing Vocalist (and Compere!) at the 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"

Nolberto "Nobby" Solano; Ex- Newcastle United Footballer

"Hi Steve, thank you for singing at my farewell party at St James' Park, both you and the Paul James band were excellent. My own band the "Geordie Latino's" were well impressed with what you did. Thank you and I hope to see you soon when I am back in Newcastle."
