Testimonials

Jenny Power

UNSW Residential Communities 2018

The feedback for the band and dance from the students was great! They had a ball so thank you very much for the wonderful time that was had.  We would definitely like to book Rosella again for our colleges festivities in 2019.

Padstow Uniting Church 2017

We just want to thank you again for such a tremendous night, everyone had a fantastic time from young to old…… enjoyed the experience, even those young ones that had never been to a bush dance before.

The music was absolutely wonderful and we truly could not have asked for more  than what you guys provided for us.  It will be a wonderful memory for all of us.
