Testimonials

We have had Phil perform on numerous occasions at The Bays Club, Browns Bay, Auckland.
Each time the show just gets better and better.

I have heard many people try to take off the Sound of Frank, Dean, etc.
Phil is the best I have heard.
Shut your eyes, and it is almost as if you have been transported back could be a Vegas show, with the Rat Pack performing.

When I first heard him, his voice stopped me in my tracks.

Phil has a unique talent for singing.
Couple that with his easy going demeanour, eagerness to please the audience, and you are guaranteed a night to remember.

We are currently using Phil to perform at our club at least 4 times a year.
Each show is attended by people of all ages, and the dance floor gets well used.

That is testament to Phil’s talents.

In my opinion, a true entertainer.

Hi Phil  thanks for Tuesday it was awesome!
North Shore CMA is an organisation that runs day centres for isolated elderly on the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast. We recently had Phil the Sinatra guy perform for Albany CMA to celebrate a staff members birthday.  The performance was very enjoyable and was entertaining for both our members and volunteers – young and old.  It was wonderful to see our older members singing along and getting up to have a dance.
The finale of New York New York followed by the last waltz had everyone singing, swaying and dancing – a fabulous trip down memory lane.  I would thoroughly recommend Phil, a lovely approachable guy and very reasonably priced too.  We hope to have you back at our other centres in the future. THANK YOU.

Phil,
Many thanks for such a wonderful performance at the Rotary Browns Bay annual changeover of administration this week.
The music of Sinatra, Dean Martin and others with superb backing accompaniment of that era was a swinging success and really added to the enjoyment of a super evening.
Keep up the good work.

Our Sunnynook Ladies Probus Club had Phil as entertainer for our Christmas meeting in December and 68 of our members were entertained by this  very professional singer of all those songs we remembered in
our younger years.  Phil’s voice changed from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como and Bobby Darrin.  For an hour we were taken back to those romantic times we all remember and our members thoroughly enjoyed listening to him.

The Women’s Section of the East Coast Bays RSA celebrated their 72nd Birthday last week. We kicked off with a lunch followed by an hour of entertainment.
“The Sinatra Guy” sang to almost 100 ladies who enjoyed the performance thoroughly. We tapped our feet and even sang along to some well-known classic Sinatra, Dean Martin and Perry Como renditions. We were well pleased with the very professional performance!
Thank you Phil

We were extremely fortunate to experience the delightful performance by ‘The Sinatra Guy’ last week at Eden Village. It was difficult to believe that we were listening to a live performance as he sounded identical to the real Frank Sinatra. Philip is definitely one of the top performers we have had perform at our Village. Residents loved the song selections and clearly enjoyed reminiscing over the good old days. Philip was engaging, interactive and a pleasure to watch and listen to. He is a real professional and we can’t wait to have him back!

Phil Rimmer entertained our 60’s up branch at Browns Bay.
We have no hesitation in recommending him as a very good singer who provided excellent backing to his vocals.
His choice of songs were received enthusiastically.

We recently had Phil Rimmer into entertain at a happy hour for our Independent residents.
Phil has a lovely friendly manner, and was very easy to talk to, as we discussed what was required.
He was more than keen to meet the needs of the residents.
He sings a wide range of music, which suited those who just like to sit and listen, and those who like to get up and dance.
A number of residents went up to Phil to say how much they had enjoyed his singing at the end, and I also received positive feedback about his singing, and my residents are very good at telling me whether they like an entertainer or not!
It was a pleasure to have Phil at the village and I would definitely rebook him and recommend him.

Thank you so much Phil for making our wedding reception so incredibly special.
We were absolutely thrilled with your choice of songs and running order of your set, the perfect balance of soft romantic with the big band easy listening hits.
We knew you would be a big hit and from the amount of feedback from our guests we were not wrong!
So many guests complimenting how fantastic your voice was and many remarked on how alike you sound to Mr Frank himself!
In fact the only complaint we received was Mother of the Groom’s feet were sore from all the dancing!
Such a perfect night,thank you again I will be recommending you to other Brides and Grooms.

I have worked as a Recreational Therapist for over ten years, and in that time have had many entertainers to entertain our residents.
Phil has entertained at our facility quite a few times, especially at our dances.
Every time he sings for us he takes us on a trip down memory lane.
Phil has also played at one of my sons engagement parties, everyone enjoyed it and it was a great success.
I would recommend Phil, he is reasonably priced and a joy to listen to.

Phil Rimmer recently performed at the Peninsular Club and received a very favourable reception.
His choice of music were ideal and his presentation was 1st class.
We had about 70 residents enthusiastic with his performance and will be asking Phil to come back later in the year.
