Hi Ama A great birthday - thanks. Had meant to get in touch sooner - hope you’ll accept a “still recovering from a great night excuse”. I’m old(er) now after all... Thank you so much for the music, Great songs and every one loved it as you could tell by the music. Thanks a million for sorting it all out for me - much appreciated. Eimear

Hi Ama, You beat me to it! I was going to say the same thing - thanks so much for being part of my celebrations and making it run so smoothly and fun. Am really glad you had fun :-) My mate Mike said it was the best music set he'd ever heard at a party ;-) I had a brilliant time thanks. Wasn't feeling too clever yesterday and went to bed at 8pm (same time as my 5 yr old!) Thanks very much, Eva On 15 Nov 2015, at 19:58, amadeep <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Eva, Just wanted to quickly say that you're not feeling too sore-headed today !
