Sara's Corporate Event in Brisbane CBD, Jul 2025
What an amazing group of musicians. The Gypsy Cats are a real treat. I hired them for a conference Gala Dinner, and they were perfect. The beauty is they can turn things up a notch for those that want to dance, or dial it down a little for a more sedate dinner where it isn't a dancing crowd, but you still want a great ambience. Roberto was great with communication leading up to our event. They were on time and were the perfect choice, and everyone I spoke to on the night thought they were fantastic. We didn't want a rock band or a duo that would be more suited for a wedding, and these guys fit the brief 100%. If you want to add a touch of difference to your event, the Gypsy Cats are the choice for you.
