BBQ Garden Party, August 2005

Dear Chris and Mike
Thank you so much for ensuring our bbq on Saturday was the best ever. Even the rain couldn't spoil the atmosphere and everyone was telling us how much they were enjoying the band. Please convey my gratitude to the other members. The "problem" child from next door apparently was demanding that you should play on Sunday night as well as he wanted to see you again.
Hopefully you may get some future bookings from the gig. One neighbour wants to know when you are next playing locally so they can come and see you, so let me know.
Thanks again and no doubt I will see you around soon

Private Birthday Party, Feb 2006

Thanks so much for Saturday - you really, really were great, a brilliant band and you should be very proud. Everyone has commented on how good you are so well done !! It made it very special having a live band and not just a disco. Thanks for your nice comments and good wishes. I hope you got to have some food - I'd intended you to and had catered for you.
Anyway, thanks again - me and the girls would like to come and hear you again so can you let me know if you have any gigs coming up this year please???
Cheers,

Birthday party december 2006

Dear Chris

My thanks to the band for making my 60th birthday party go with such a swing (or should that be groove) on Saturday. When I was a young 'un I used to spend a lot of time listening to the great Jazz influended British R 'n' B bands of the early/mid sixties. Bands like Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames, Zoot Money's Big Roll Band and the Graham Bond Organisation. Those days are long gone but I had in the back of my mind that I would like to re-create that 60s Club feel at my party. Things move on and the music has changed but I think you guys came pretty close to matching the sound and feel of those great bands.  The feedback I have had from others at the party has been outstanding. May I wish the band every success for 2007 and beyond. Let me know when the CD is ready because I know of several buyers! Best Regards

Wedding April 2007

Hi Chris, I just wanted to say a huge "Thank-you" from Deb and I. You guys were fantastic on Saturday and really made the night for us. I hope you enjoyed yourselves as well and really hope you enjoyed playing 'Long Train Running' as we thought it sounded excellent, possibly the best number you did. I think you need to keep it in your set on a permanent basis. Anyway, good luck in the future and once again many thanks.

Wedding 28th July 2007

Dear Chris

We are writing to thank you and the band for a brilliant performance at our wedding last Saturday. Everyone has commented how fantastic you were and the on the quality of music you played.

As you may know I sung in a very popular band and have a little knowledge and experience of live music, and your performance was outstanding. I also had many ‘muso's at the wedding and they all had the most positive and favourable of remarks to pass on to you. They commented on how professional and ‘tight' you all were, the quality and selection of music was outstanding and your stage presence was excellent. The only fault they found was that the dance floor was not big enough to cater for everyone who wanted to dance and party all night long with you.

You carried the crowd along and made a great day brilliant and I will continue to ‘sing your praises' to whoever will listen to me. You have established yourselves in Norfolk as an energetic, effervescent and chic band that enthrals and delights its audience and I will wholeheartedly recommend you to everyone I know.

Well done and thank you for an unbelievably good job and tremendously successful night.

We wish you all the best for an incredible future.

Yours sincerely

Mick and Emma
