"Thanks for the PPP gig and for letting me stagger through Sweet Home Chicago - a brilliant performance - you sound better each time!"
Phil Holden, PPP Healthcare.

"I just wanted to write and thank you very warmly for the fantastic performance you all gave at our housewarming on Saturday 30th August in Swanborough. It was stunning. I am sure you get many compliments, but I wanted to say you really made the occasion unforgettable. Your talent, professionalism and sheer hard work are a winning formula. The party was a great success and you take a great deal of the credit, so once again please accept our grateful thanks. Best wishes for the rest of the season."
Carol Joy

"I would like to thank you all for attending our May Ball at the Saloman Centre, Tunbridge Wells. The Big Kahuna were absolutely fabulous. You all looked fantastic in your colourful suits and Hawaiian shirts and you sounded even better! Throughout the evening you had us all dancing......From a personal point of view it is a long time since I have danced from start to finish at such an occasion and I know many felt the same..."
