Freya Jones – Event Manager – Tesco Electricals Conference – Celtic Manor – 13th &14th Oct 09

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your text message on Friday – thought I would leave it til today to respond as I wanted to say a proper thank you for helping to make last week’s events at Celtic Manor such a great success.  My clients at Tesco are calling it ‘the best event ever’ – and you can’t do much better than that, can you? Everyone had a great time dancing to The Bogus Brothers on both evenings.  I still can’t believe how many men you managed to get up on the dance floor on Wednesday evening – that’s no mean feat!   So many people have said how good you were – and my boss (Nigel) was really pleased too, so hopefully we will be able to book you for other future events.  We will spread the word in the office! Please pass my thanks on to all the guys – you all put on a great show and definitely deserved a drink or two afterwards!
Best wishes,
Freya

Caroline Wakelin
– Event Organiser - Emergency Planner-Anglian Water – Grand Prix Charity Ball – 2nd Oct 09


Tony,
Just wanted to say a HUUUGE thanks for being so bloody brilliant on Friday night and so damn amiable over the incapability of the hotel’s hospitality for you!  Your understanding really helped reduce my stress levels (although perhaps you may not have thought so!) and I really appreciated that. I do apologise on their behalf and also for having a blonde moment and giving you 2 minutes to get ready – hopefully it won’t put you off coming back to us next time. The feedback from our guests was fantastic so please pass on my thanks to all of the guys.  Sorry I didn’t get chance to come and say thank you and good bye personally at the end of the night (think I was dealing with a lack of bacon rolls by that time!).
Thanks again,
Caroline x Caroline Wakelin - Emergency Planner

Dear Tony and the Boys,
A very belated THANK YOU to all of you for a fabulous evening!

You all were wonderful and very professional singers, players, entertainers and terrific people – what can we say? … We’re trying to think of another occasion to hire you! In any case you made quite an impression on Absolute Taste our U.K. caterers as well as our Swiss Planners who do lots of events in Switzerland so let us know where you’ll be when you come to our alpine country and we’ll be sure to crash the party!
All our best to you and the Boys, Lorraine and Hervé

Jonathan Lloyd – Wedding – Marquee Chester – 13th June 09 - Wedding

Sincere thanks to the band from me and Sally. Everyone at our wedding on Saturday thought they were absolutely fantastic including us. They did us really proud and made the evening go with a real bang.

Adam Kassell – Wedding – Marquee Cambridge – 9th June 09 - Wedding

What a fantastic day! We've had so many comments about your performance on the night. Without exception, everyone said you were excellent and put on a truly amazing display. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where everyone and I do mean everyone, even the die hard 'I don't dance brigade' were on the floor strutting their stuff. You engaged with us and all our friends brilliantly and the personal touches topped off the day in spectacular fashion. Your indulgence of some of our more 'adventurous' guests showed incredible patience and is a credit to your professionalism. Without doubt the band were the highlight of the day's celebrations and we appreciate you juggling your Hamburg schedule to accommodate us. If we can summon the appetite or find a good enough excuse to have another party like this one, we'll be sure to ask you to headline the event once again. Our sincere thanks for making the occasion a truly exhilarating and memorable day.

5.Manchester Central – Corporate Event – 2nd Sept 08 – Conference project manager

Hi Guys

Just a short note to thank you for the two excellent sets you performed at our Gala Dinner on 2nd September.
No one in our organisation can ever remember seeing anyone dancing from the very first song and it just continued throughout the evening. Your enthusiasm was infectious.
The event and the success of the dinner were especially important to the organisers this year as it was our final staff conference before the organisation is disbanded in March 2009.
If I ever have to organise another event where a band is needed, you will be the first I call.
Thanks again

12. Wedding Marquee – 14th June 08 – Brides Parents

Dear Tony

Words are not really enough, But what a incredible night you guys gave us. From the first number you had people up on the dance floor. Most of which only left when completely exhausted.
I first saw you at the Showmans Show in Newbury. From that moment on I knew if I ever had the chance to use you for a party of my own, you guys above anything else would be top of my list of people to call on. For that opportunity to be my daughter’s wedding was brilliant
You are a truly amazing band. You have been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Our guests were truly amazed. The comments and nice cards keep coming ,one of the first things they ask are where did you get that incredible Band .Where you get the energy from I don't know. I love the way you got everyone involved from the start .It is a real skill. You never give less than 100% I am sure you will get more work from this one, and although no more daughters to marry off, it will not take much of an excuse to have you guys back again.
Once again thanks for everything, and if ever you are on your travels and in our direction you will always have a place to get your heads down here .Stay safe.
Best wishes and thanks to all the guys for making it truly a night to remember.
Phil Reddy (Nicky's Dad)

Hi Tony
I hope you and the guys arrived safely in Hamburg.
Thank you so much for making Jon's party a success. Everyone, and I mean everyone, said how fantastic you guys were. My only regret is that you didn't get to do your encore due to the over zealous DJ! We will certainly ratify this next time.

There were lots of sore feet and excitable women [of a certain age!] by the end of the evening...
I know you don't need one but if I can help with a reference or testimonial at any time please feel free to use my name and number.

Thank you once again.
