"On behalf of the Byron Bay Rotary Club, I wish to thank The Blue Hulas for playing a great gig on Australia Day 2007 at the Byron Bay Surf Club. The quality and style of music contributed greatly toward what was ultimately the most successful Australia Day function for many years! Thank you The Hulas!"
-Bruce Hammond, President, Byron Bay Rotary Club
"During A Taste of Byron Carnival 2006 the Blue Hulas were used for entertainment on the fringe of the main arena and around the Chocolate Bath. They were very crowd friendly and attracted groups of all ages. The Blue Hulas were extremely cooperative and a pleasure to work with. I would not only like to give them my recommendation but also my praise for their professionalism and assistance towards a great community event"
-Sandy McKee, Director, A Taste of Byron Carnival
"In December, 2006 the Blue Hulas very generously donated their time participating in an event conducted by Byron United. The "Light Up Byron and Late Night Dining & Shopping Experience" on Friday 15th December was enhanced by the public entertainment provided by the Blue Hulas, who created a colourful and vibrant atmosphere throughout the evening. We commend the group to anyone as entertainers for the Byron Community"
-Diana Liptrot, Executive Officer Byron United (formerly known as the Byron Chamber of Commerce)

"There's something magic about the ukulele. It's a tiny instrument that creates big music - and a huge feel-good vibe. The Blue Hulas, our own local Hawaiian-style band, has a cruisy island sound that features the sweet voice of Benhur accompanied by the angelic vocal stylings of Renee Simone plus a hot rhythm section."
-The Northern Rivers Echo
"[The Blue Hulas] have a cruisy island sound that will have you chilling out and wanting to get lay-ed. With a lei silly. Flowers around the neck."
-The Byron Shire Echo
"Uke Beauty at The Rails...the cruisy island style beats of the Blue Hulas...infused with the contagious sounds of the 'weapon of mass affection' (that's the ukulele, in case you haven't heard) & driven by a pulsing rhythm section...will have you sweating and swaying to their tropical sounds. Don't miss this up and coming Byron Bay band!"
-Mandy Nolan, The Byron Shire Echo
