| "This is just a quick note to
say, thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true on Sunday
9th October at Ettington Park in Stratford Upon Avon. Your band are amazing.
We danced, and danced and danced and the atmosphere was incredible - and
you helped us achieve that. Thank you - we had so much fun. I hope we can
also see you on your tours around London and will definitely reccommend
you." Meera & Mike "Thank you so much for the great music you have done during our Xmas Ball on Friday in Milton Keynes. Everybody commented how brilliant you all were. Excellent music, very danceable and enjoyable." F. Djemal, Salsa Estrellas "I just wanted to say thank you very much to all of you for a great performance at The Chiltern Hospital¹s party.

The music was great, the way you encouraged and cajoled everyone to get on the dance floor was great, everything was just brilliant. We were so thrilled and will definitely recommend you to everyone we meet! It just went far too quickly and we both wish we could do it all over again" Rosy "We all had a really good night. People are saying it was the best reception that they had been to, and I think a big part of that was down to the band. As you know, they are excellent and we couldnt have wished for anything better." Graham |
