THE MONROES = Entertainment
Whether you’re at your favourite bar or club, a friends wedding, your company Christmas party or Dad’s 50th, when the band hits the stage, you want your jaw to hit the floor.
That is THE MONROES musical mission.
A truly international band with its members having performed extensively throughout the UK and The Middle East, and one off dates in Australia, South Africa, India and their bass player even played in Uganda once!!?? …Scary!...They have drawn on their experience and their band chemistry to come up with one of the most exciting live band experiences in New Zealand right now.
You want 60’s Rock n Roll? CHECK
You want 70’s Disco? CHECK
You want your favourite Bon Jovi song from the 80’s? CHECK
You want that new one on ZM by what’s her name?? Yes they even do that!!
THE MONROES cover 50 years of music in a little over 3 hours, from Johnny B Goode to Katy Perry, AC/DC to I Will Survive and unlike most set-list reading bands, they have honed the art of reading the crowd and adapting their repertoire over the course of the night to suit the audiences tastes. One thing is for sure, the dance floor is always packed, and people are always smiling which is the main ingredient of any great night out.
THE MONROES are proud to now offer a 5 piece line up featuring two class female singers giving them an extra visual appeal for the stage show. Energy, Excitement, Entertainment…And that’s just adjectives brought to you by the letter E….This is one band that will excite your senses and exceed your expectations.

Hi Pete
Our company was delighted with the Monroes. They were fabulous, so entertaining and the music was amazing. We danced all night!

Hi Robyn
The band were fantastic the crowd participation was great. They really interacted with our group with inviting anyone to be a backing group for them. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. They played excellent music to dance and sing along too.
I was more than pleased I chose them from the suggested groups.
Kind regards

Hi Robyn
First of all can you please make sure that every member of the band gets to read this email.
The Monroe's were amazing! They didn't just provide a band for our conference, they provided the entertainment and a night to remember! They had 95% of the crowd up dancing in their first song. We had 300 guests from all around the world & the main comments the next day were 'Hamilton provided a great conference & that band on Saturday night was awesome!'.
So thank you for a great night. I hope to see you again in the near future.

Ps I hope you all realised the whole crowd got on that locomotive train! Toot Toot!
