Quality of Performance
Robin is a talented accomplished musician who knows how to entertain. His ability to sing and play guitar assist him in his performance of a surprisingly wide range of cover songs and styles throughout the decades. His repertoire of covers is extensive.
Ambience
Whatever the occasion Robin can draw on his vast experience and his innate ability to customise a selection of music to cater for his varied audiences in order to read the crowd and adapt his music appropriately. He is able to create the right atmosphere for those most special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, restaurants and bars or why not throw a party in your own home! Wherever!
Christchurch & Abroad
Based in Christchurch, NZ, Robin has always been more than happy to perform elsewhere, having played at locations throughout New Zealand from the Far North to Stewart Island and abroad from Ireland, Hawaii, Rarotonga, Queensland and even a cruise ship.
Bands
Robin has led many covers bands as well as performing solo for many years. With a varied mix of unplugged acoustic and with some quality backings and combined with his own musical equipment and lighting, Robin dressed for the occasion, will confidently cover the field of musical tastes. If the occasion warrants it, he can call on a range of quality fellow musicians to add extra colour and zest to the performance. Robin has taught music for decades and has acted in and has also written, directed and produced a number of original stage shows.
Feature Testimonials
"My partner and I were delighted to engage Robin Ferris (and his special guest for the Irish set, a talented colleague playing fiddle), for my 60th Birthday celebration in September 2020.
I had seen Robin in action some years ago as a solo performer and just knew that he would be able to entertain well on the night, as well as get our guests up onto the dance floor. We were not disappointed!
Being so musically experienced, Robin is well-equipped to customise the occasion to suit the client. He also can add in other musicians/soloists for that extra ‘colour’ when needed, hence Lorenz playing fiddle complemented the musical evening rather brilliantly particularly during an Irish bracket that they put together especially for me, (the duo performs as 'd'Blarneys' - an exclusively Irish music band).
We had guests who are still raving about Robs superb choice of live covers from a wide range of genres and which suited the age groups at the occasion superbly. My guests really has a treat and enjoyed themselves on the dance floor most of the night at the historic Deans cottage venue Riccarton Christchurch.
If anyone is looking for an excuse for a party at home or anywhere or has a special occasion coming up and wants a great live musician like Robin is, we can highly recommend contacting him for a chat. With the range and variety of numbers he has at his fingertips (literally), Robin can put together a musical programme for most tastes and ages."
