STRATMAN AND ROBIN
"THE DYNAMIC DUO"
I would like to introduce Toyah Jensen aka Robin to you. Toyah is going to join the show as the lead vocalist in this dynamic new act.
Toyah says " I had my start in music fairly young with both my parents exposing me to their eclectic tastes and both sides of my family having backgrounds in theatre and jazz. I started singing at age 12 doing talent shows and progressed to kareoke competitions and then my own bands throughout my college years. I have been lucky to have met many talented and accomplished people along the way who have helped grow and mould me by introducing me to new influences and encouraging me to try new things stylistically to evolve as a vocalist. I met Marty at a gig local to our family bach and since then he has been a massive influence and mentor to me. I look forward to creating something special with him as a musical partnership and sharing it with other people."

" We had Stratman and Robin grace us at our wedding and boy were they good! Not only could he make the guitar sing but she has one hell of a voice on her!
If you love the old music these guys rock at it! From Pink Floyd to Prince, you name it they could do it!
We had so many compliments throughout the night and the following days!
And thank you for humouring the bridal party with Wagon Wheel!
Thank you for making our wedding so lively and enjoyable we ended up staying all night! " Stacey and Allan (August 2023)

" We had Stratman and Robin for my husbands 40th, they were outstanding. Everyone got up and danced and overall was a great night.
Also a massive thankyou, as they let our son sing and gave him an experience of a lifetime. He's hooked and it's thanks to people like Marty that take the time to help the young ones coming through.
We will definitely be recommending and having the band again for any event! " Sharon (July 2023)

" We had the absolute pleasure of having Marty and Toyah entertain our family and friends at a special birthday party this year! They put on the most amazing show, absolutely everyone had the best time, dancing and really getting into the live music! I cannot recommend them enough, totally professional, arranged a gorgeous set of music, lights, super friendly and engaging with the crowd! For any occasion book them in now! " Deb (June 2023)
" We recently had a combined birthday party at our home. We contacted Marty and he was more than happy to oblige us. He and Toyah did an amazing job. The guitar playing was excellent and Toyah's vocals were great. The selection of music was perfect, for the day and Marty's Pink Floyd sets through the afternoon were just what we wanted. Had many positive comments through the afternoon and several people expressed an interest in getting Marty and Toyah for parties they are planning. We would highly recommend them for any event you are planning." Peter and Wendy (March 2023)
" We had Stratman and Robin at our wedding. They are two very talented musicians working well as a duo. They created an amazing atmosphere for our night. They had everyone up dancing and having a good time. We had many compliments from our guests on our choice of band. Their communication and flexibility made for an easy night. Highly recommend these two, without a doubt would definitely hire them again! Thankyou! " Cathy and Damian (November 2022)
" This dynamic duo saved the day when my band tested positive for Covid. They stepped up and we had the most awesome music and atmosphere that people are still buzzing about.
I can't thank you both enough for saving my party! " Linda (October 2022)

" Stratman and Robin came to the rescue for my friends 50th when the hired band cancelled the day before. We were so impressed by Toyah's voice and Martin's guitar playing that we hired them on the spot.
They showed up, worked so hard and really saved the party by adding a happy funky vibe.
I would honestly recommend them to anyone wanting a duo or band for an event.
We've hired many bands over the years and honestly these guys are up there with the best of them.
Thank you so much, we'll definitely be calling on you guys first in the future. " Julia (October 2022)

" We highly recommend Stratman and Robin! Their setlist last night was perfect and was enjoyed by us all and thanks so much for allowing us to pay tribute to our beautiful friend Toni with a champagne toast and a moving rendition of Wish You Were Here. Should you be keen on live music for your next special event, hit up Marty Mitchell for a booking. We will be having them back in March for our joint birthday celebrations." Joy (January 2022)
" We enjoyed the band for my dad's 60th birthday party and are completely blown away by how good they are! All communication was super easy and the entire show was fun, exciting and worth every cent! Got people up dancing and having a fantastic time. Toyah's voice is incredible and Marty's guitar playing is insanely fantastic! Would highly recommend this band to everyone! " Angelique (June 2021)
