Steve Walls Professional Host & Compere for Corporate Events & Functions

Sir Bobby Robson; Newcastle Civic Centre (Following the Christmas Light switch on)

"I would just like to say this lad (Steve Walls) was a great compere. He is very professional, and made it very easy for me. I think he deserves a big round of applause"

Sir Leonard Fenwick; Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust chief executive

"I would like to congratulate everyone involved in the success of the Charlie Bear Ball. It was a wonderful evening, and all credit should go to Compere, Steve Walls. This proved to be an inspired choice. A talented all round performer who would be invaluable to any event. I particularly enjoyed his singing during dinner. The money raised from the auction, far and away exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed heads and tails, and he even made the raffle entertaining! You always felt the event was in safe hands, well done to Steve, Pzazz Events, Angie, Christine and all involved in what was a very successful evening for Charlie Bear"

Cora Bolsom; Senior Commercial Manager; April-Six Limited

'The team thought you were amazing, I hear you did a great job and really know how to work the crowd. Thank you so much and we will certainly get in touch if another project comes in.'

Des O'Connor; September 2008

'It is great to see a young man who knows how to host a show as it should be run. I was impressed that not only Steve could sing, and do comedy, he also give me one of the best introductions i have had for many years. He does it with warmth, charm and a big smile on his face. It's a pity there aren't the TV openings these days that there once were, as he would be perfect. That said, Steve will never be short of work, and i wish him the very best of luck in his career'

Steve Dourass; Area Fundraising Manager; Macmillan: Johnny Briggs charity golf day

Today is my day for sending thank you’s, and you are top of my list Steve. Thank you so much for your fabulous entertainment, company and dedication to help us here at Macmillan. It is ''real' stars like you that help us make a genuine difference to the lives of people living with cancer. You gave your time for Macmillan Cancer Support and Johnny - a magnificent gesture. It was a real pleasure working with you and I really do hope that we can work together in the future Steve.

Kim Schutler; University of Leeds

Dear Steve, Many thanks for compering our staff festival, you were fantastic. We had a lot of feedback about how good you were, and easy to work with. Hope you enjoyed “Leeds talent”! Many thanks.

Carole Beverley; Chief Executive, Entrepreneurs Forum

"Dear Steve, I wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for Compering for us at the Newcastle Hilton Hotel last week. You are a truly multitalented and an exceptional entertainer and your enthusiasm and professionalism contributed immensely to the success of the evening. We raised over £59,000 and could not have done this without everyone having a thoroughly enjoyable evening. You were a delight to work with and reduced my stress levels ten fold. I sincerely hope that we can work together in the future and wish you much success in your career"

Jon Harle; Senior producer BBC Newcastle

Steve came to our attention because he hosts most of the major North East Events. We decided we wanted to use him for Children In Need. We weren't disappointed! Steve is great, he has an infectious personality, and had the audience eating out the palm of his hand, He is a real pro!"

Maureen Murray; AM Model agency

Dear Steve, Thank you for making the job of a compere a pleasure to listen to. The rapport you established with the audience seemed effortless (a sign of a true professional!) and generated an enthusiastic and pleasurable atmosphere. We sincerely hope that you will be free to work again with us in the future - because apart from being very good at your job - you're a thoroughly nice chap, which all our models will join us in testifying too!

I would like to say a big thank you to you Steve, you have been an excellent MC, in fact one of the best I have seen. Thank you for all your help, particularly with the questions and answers at the end of my speech.

With this in mind, can I request that you are available to compere once again for us on the 16th May 2008 and 12th September 2008 for the Lobster and Oyster Festival respectivley. Many thanks again for all your help.

Claire Finn; PlanIT Perfectly- Event magement & Party Planning

Hi Steve

Just a quick note, to say thank you very much for your help and support on Friday night. Your professional approach to the evening was appreciated and it made all the difference to the event itself to have someone so professional to take control of the auction and entertainment. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again.

Hannah Parrott; NSPCC

Steve was a great MC for our BIG BIKE RIDE and really got the crowd excited and gave the whole event a fantastic atmosphere.

Most audiences at showcase sessions usually need the showbusiness equivalent of jump-leads to be attached by the compere to get them in the collective swing of things, and maybe just more to the point signify that the entertainment is really underway. To that end and throughout the evening, compere Steve Walls proved an excellent compere, in fact his was one of the best Compering performances seen for a fair while.

Derek Smith; JMA Showcase 2004

The most prestigious light entertainment showcase of the year requires a fittingly prestigious venue and Warner’s Thoresby Hall Hotel, nestling nicely in the Nottinghamshire countryside, fitted the bill perfectly as the new home of Showcall. In chirpy, multi-talented Geordie Steve Walls, there was a new compere too - and what a great choice that proved to be.

Derek Smith; Showcall Showcase 2007

The Showcall band delivered their final overture and compere Steve Walls, who has been quite a hit this year, strode on looking very smart and suave to make his eighth and final welcome.

Mark Ritchie; Showcall Showcase 2007

Steve Walls then had a few minutes to remind us that he is a fine singer and engaging comedian while the stage was set for another act.

Peter Hepple; Showcall Showcase 2005

In the event it was genial compere Steve Walls who got the ball rolling. His opening version of Just a Gigolo, followed by expressive warm up chat, set the tone nicely.
