Howard Collins Entertainment was absolutely wonderful! Communication with Howard prior to the event was outstanding and nothing was left to chance. On the day, the band setup 2 hours early and they were so easy to work with. Our function centre had an afternoon tea party with 120 guests and they all loved the band and danced their feet off. Howard adjusted his playlist based on the demographic of the audience and the event was a huge success. Thank you so much Howard and the band! More...

Q&As

I enjoy being able to provide a great night's entertainment.

I was always interested in playing music since I was a kid, and it just developed.

Because I'm available to sit down and try and make it an enjoyable occasion and make it happen. I also feel I can add to a special occasion.

I have been very careful to live my life in such a way that I have avoided getting Covid 19. I have followed the guidelines and continue to be very careful.
