There is never a dull moment in 50 minutes of high octane singing and witty presentation - don't miss it."
Max Cryer, reviewing Highlights February 2010Georgia and Mark have created a new dimension in our restaurant. Their performances are consistently warm, energetic and rich. Their professional approach and ability to read different audiences must also be mentioned. This duo is a serious draw card for customers.
Colin and Ed, Prohibition Restaurant"I have no hesitation in recommending her to you. What is outstanding about Georgia is she is a true entertainer - she is truly at home on the stage and knows how to pitch a performance to create the perfect atmosphere. Georgia is exceptional at "reading a crowd", and noteworthy is her ability to work a room, to connect with and communicate to her audience and handle any performance situation with poise and grace. She is a charismatic and commanding performer."
Glen Giroux Monte Cristo Productions"In my opinion Georgia Wood is a captivating and consummate performer of a world class standard and worthy of high acclaim.
Her professional and reliable approach to her performance art has always been much appreciated and sets her above many other artists I have known and employed."
"........ With a selection of songs from her show "Highlights - the blondes & their songs" she made a significant contribution singing with an infectious enthusiasm, with vitality and flair, with a carefully crafted repertoire, with a confident stage presence, and with a well trained voice. She gave us a full and fast moving programme that we all enjoyed. Overall, it was a very professional and highly appealing performance by an accomplished artist."
