I want to say a massive thank you for last night. Although our guests were in and out with the heat, they all said how brilliant you were. Absolutely blew the roof off, and I really appreciate that! Brilliant set, professional demeanour, perfect set up, a fantastic crowd pleaser set list, and great, friendly company! This band did not miss a trick, nor a beat. A very polished, crisp and enjoyable sound, knowing the songs like the back of their hand. Thanks again, and all the best! Kay
