Act profile

Skywalker have been together since April 2009. Fronted by Gaz (UK) and supported by Tiago (Portugal), Brendan (Australia) and Ed (UK), we have an amazing combined pedigree in entertainment at home and abroad. We sound like a band that plays other people's music really really well. Really!

As an added bonus, we are a lovely bunch of fellas to deal with. You will find us to be polite, professional and bang on time.

Testimonials

Saw the band at the Australian Walkabout Newquay. What a great band - superb musicianship and a mindblowing setlist. Listening to Sweet Child of Mine was like listening to Guns n Roses at their best. If you like good rock music played well you have to listen to this band

-Will

Skywalker are the business and by that I mean..they come, they deliver the goods and the leave the client happy. Never seen them when they haven't made the party happen and you can't say that for all bands.

-DJ Wicks

Fantastic party Rick, please pass on my thanks again to the band, went down a storm, especially with Kitty Brucknell from X Factor.

"I just wanted to say a really big thank you for last night. Everyone had such a good time and you guys were brilliant!" - Laura Richards (Talkback Thames) Celebrity Juice Series Wrap Party

"The festival went really well and got unanimously positive comments and reaction all round. However, I reckon The Sparks were THE most popular part of it. People are still talking to me about it! So thanks so much for that- honestly, people loved it" - David Hillier (Apple Tarts Festival 2011).

We are thinking we will probably do it again- if we do we'll 100% be getting you guys involved so pencil us in for the same date next year.

"Hi Brendan,
I just wanted to say thanks again for a brilliant job you did on Saturday night at Matt's party. You were fantastic and really made the night a lot of fun. Everone who came said how much they enjoyed the entertainment! Matt and I especially had a great time and really appreciated the two Powderfinger songs you played for us.

I'm sorry that only a few really managed to do your music any justice but I think everyone else enjoyed having a go and I will never forget little Erik's performance of Eye of the Tiger (nor will he as I recorded it!).

Thanks also for helping me to set up the music after you'd finished.

Hopefully see you all again in the near future. We will definitely keep you guys in mind for future parties and recommend you to our mates."
Amy Wilson Feb 2010

"Thank you for performing on Wednesday night at the Diageo Christmas Party. You were all excellent musically and also with dealing with all the guests and really making it fun experience for them. There were some very happy clients at the end of the night." - Charlie Jameson, RPM.

"Just wanted to drop you a line to say how great the band were last night. We had a brilliant time and Rockaoke was definitely the highlight." - Rachel, MCBD.

"Just wanted to send a quick e-mail to say the night was an absolute rip-roaring success and everyone had a fantastic time. There have been so many requests to make this an annual thing so I guess we will have to do that. Seeing 80 insurance brokers in suits booing when the band finished up was one of the highlights." - Mario Christophides, Bluefin Group.

'Excellent work last night. Client loved it and as always I thought you rocked. Favourite moment = looking over and seeing glasses-clad Brendan smashing through Hey Jude whilst stood on a table.Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! '- Mathew Slater, MC for 2010 Nestle Christmas Party @ Wembley Stadium.
