Client Feedback

A big thanks to the Gugs Tenors for a great weekend at the AORTIC Conference in Durban.  They were lovely to work with, punctual and accommodating.   And their set was awesome, the international audience adored them – and were even up and dancing to some of the faster numbers!
Sally Robinson, Show Works

The Gugulethu Tenors were absolutely AMAZING, and couldn’t be more perfect for our gala event, THANK YOU!! two standing ovations if I may add.  Thank you once again for all your assistance throughout the booking process. I look forward to working with Five Seasons in the future.
Tharwah Nolan, Media24

It was fantastic and everyone is raving about it. Thank you, it will be a memorable evening for all and everyone is very happy.  Thank you for all the assistance!
Ingrid Hansen, Turners Conferences & Conventions

I was blown away! I was entirely caught up in the infectious joy these four singers radiate from the stage. I have never seen anything like it. The genre of music they sing is a smorgasbord of “popera” or Afro-Opera, with a variety of bel canto opera Neopolitan songs, contemporary classics, popular covers, South African favourites (including Afrikaans song, Liefling, which went down amazingly well with the whole audience) and their own compositions. They are entirely at ease in front of the microphones and their movements on stage are both natural and controlled without any fussy or bizarre choreography. Mpendulo Yawa, Xolani November, Siyabulela Ggola and Loyiso Dlova thrilled me, touched me and left me wanting more.
Moira de Swardt's - Media review 6 August 2012

Dit was regtig lekker om met die Gugulethu Tenore te werk! Hulle is uiters professioneel en ‘n plesier om mee te werk!
Suzanne Rentzke, Huisgenoot Skouspel 2012 (Frontline Productions)

The Tenors were outstanding!! Thank you so much for being part of making that happen.  I will definitely promote them wherever I can.
James Fernie, Uthando Foundation South Africa

Most important for me was to watch the response our stars received, and guest were coming up to say they were proud to see their own performing as they have never seen them perform before, to a point where tears were streaming from our audience.Thank you and thank the Tenors on my behalf to have created a humbling experience!
Busi Msimango, TOPS Gugulethu Wine Festival & Mutichoice

These guys are just amazing!!! Every time I listen to them I get goosebumps!!!!
Liezel Short, Red Hot Events

On behalf of the LIFE Residential team, thank you for joining us yesterday evening. It was a truly memorable evening at Mandela Rhodes Place, primarily because of the phenomenal performance by the Gugulethu Tenors. They have gained many new fans and affirmed existing ones. Please pass on my sincerest thanks to the tenors – they are truly amazing. I look forward to seeing them performing again soon.
Richard Boxford, LIFE Residential

Thank you, it all went well on Saturday and everyone enjoyed the Tenors – they were a good bunch to work with.  We will definitely look at hiring them for our future events.  Even the chess enthusiasts who generally play in silence enjoyed the entertainment provided by the Tenors.
Karen Bailey, Claremont Improvement District Company

YES, it went very well and all my friends and family loved your most wonderful and talented Tenors!!!!  Again a big THANKS to them and also to Heinrich Kapp [sound engineer].  I wish you and your team a very blessed Holiday and may GOD bless you all with health and wealth and happiness in the New Year!!
Dr Heidi Retter

We enjoyed every minute with the Tenors. They are incredible!

The Tenors were excellent!!! It was such a lovely evening and they contributed to the success of it. The boys are so talented. Once again....THANK YOU!!!!!!
Patricia Jacobs, Manager Student Support Services, Northlink College

A huge thank you from all of us to you and the Tenors for opening our show in the most fitting way we could imagine. You got the crowd dancing and set the spirit and the tone of the evening just as you and I had discussed that we wanted to. What more could we have asked for. We were privileged to have you as part of the Freedom To Create project, and thanks for all your support over the last few months.
Kate Timperley, Freedom To Create

Awesome!  They received a standing ovation, which says it all.  Well done!  People, including myself, also commented on how humble the guys are - no "diva" attitude!  Well done and all the best for your future.
Meryl Pretorius, Transnet

Die Tenore is 'n fees om mee saam te werk – meeste van alles is hul positiewe attitude!
Usher Bell, Bell Events

Net voor ek nou finaal die Pops 2011 lêer toemaak, wil ek net graag weer vir die Gugulethu Tenore BAIE DANKIE sê dat hulle vanjaar bereid was om by die Pops op te tree. Hulle vertolking van Meadowlands was ‘n groot treffer! Dit was heerlik om hulle op ons verhoog te hê en die terugvoer oor die konsert is ongelooflik goed. Baie dankie ook vir jou knap reëlings en professionaliteit. Ek hoop ons kan weer saamwerk in die toekoms.
Mia Breet, Director: Die Burger Pops 2011

On behalf of the Southern Sun Cape Sun, my heartfelt thank you for your wonderful involvement in the Bidvest World Chefs Tour Against Hunger Gala Dinner, held at the Cape Sun on 27 August 2011. Your performance was definitely the highlight of the evening!
James Murdoch, General Manager, Southern Sun Cape Sun

Once again, your boys were stars! I don’t think there was a dry eye in the audience. Thank you for the slick organisation - the stage, lighting and sound was perfect.
Shona Bradford - N'Lighten

We loved working with the Tenors. They were wonderful & the client loved the performance!
Dhashinie Vandeyar – Indigo Marketing

The Tenors were absolutely amazing this morning! The delegates actually had tears in their eyes as they were finishing up, it was a very exciting and emotional moment! I did convey my thanks to them, but please tell them again!!
Liezel Short - Red Hot Events

The guys were superb, they rocked the event to no end and our audience loved them. We wouldn't hesitate to involve them in our events again. The variety of music they offer catered for everyone right across the board!!
Nola Matinise - Parliament, Cape Town

Wow what a great show. Very versatile, our guests were blown away. I will certainly use them for future conference if the clients want that type of evening. They got a standing ovation. Many thanks!
