"Hip Fidelity were AMAZING! Not only are they very talented musicians and

entertainers, they are lovely people and this made an enormous difference to

my evening, particularly given that we had the party at home. They had the

group dancing away all night and really managed to read the crowd."

“Hip fidelity performed at the NSW Fire Brigades Ball in September 2009,  The variety of music was enjoyed immensely by all.   Would highly recommend them if your looking for a great band.

Excellent singers and musicians.”

Maria James | Events Co-Ordinator | NSW Fire Brigades

"Hip Fidelity performed for us at our work Christmas Party at the Waters Edge Restaurant, Circular Quay.

(They) had everyone on the floor all night in fact the dance floor was not big enough.  The feedback we received was tremendous, the whole event, including the band, exceeded everyone’s expectations, including my own.

Our CEO said that they were the best entertainment that he had seen, and that is a huge compliment from him.

They were very professional in their conduct and organisation of our booking which put me at ease as I knew that I could rely on them.

I had dealings with James in the first instance as we inspected the venue together to discuss the staging and accoustics.  I was very impressed when James was able to offer advice on other parts of the function that I needed to bring together."

Tracey Dewar | Commercial Development Coordinator | Outsource Australia

"The entertainment was first class.  People danced, sang and had a fabulous night.  How James and Katherine manage what they do is a tremendous reflection on their talent and expertise"

Apparel Group

“I have used HIP FIDELITY for several major company functions over the last five years including formal ‘black tie’ Awards evenings and Christmas parties.

Our functions are usually between 250 and 400 people and the event running seamlessly is important to us.   James and Katherine are both professionals in every sense, both on and off stage.

Unlike many bands, HIP are really a no-fuss band for organisers.  They will arrive early, quietly set up and be ready to roll on time, every time.  They represent themselves and our company well with their interaction with the audience throughout their performance.

HIP has a huge repertoire of modern, contemporary music and they handle audience requests and it seems they can play anything!”

Cheryl Kemp | General Manager - Marketing | Professionals Real Estate

Vania Bau | Event Manager | Cairns Convention Centre

 

“… their consummate professionalism never fails to impress and serves as a refreshing reminder of the true benefits of relentless dedication and an unerring focus on exemplary customer service.”

“Favourable audience reactions are the true litmus test of any professional performance artists, so I am sure that Hip Fidelity would not disappoint any prospective client wishing to avail themselves of a truly professional and accomplished group of musicians.”

John Kelly | Technical Manager | QPAC Brisbane

“Hip Fidelity has been regularly used by us as entertainment for group conferences, incentives and at other functions…

On a professional level, our dealings with James and Katherine Barr have been excellent..........are easy to communicate with and are willing and able to adapt to suit the client. They are reliable, always punctual and act professionally on and off stage…

Hip Fidelity performances are well received by audiences as they have a wide musical repertoire and have the ability to read the mood of the audience and adapt to their requirements. They are able to motivate the crowd and involve them in their performances. 

We have received very positive feedback from conference organisers and delegates…

From our own experiences, we have no hesitation in recommending Hip Fidelity to you.”
