Hello Caroline, A quick note to thank you and your colleagues for your performances on Sunday afternoon - especially for playing the Trumpet Voluntary three times!!. We had plenty of compliments and positive feedback - especially as you all seemed to be enjoying yourselves. All the best Rod and Sue
Dear Caroline, Emily, and Luke, Many thanks for the card, and more importantly for your lovely playing at our 25/70 Celebration. It really added to the atmosphere and everyone seems to have mentioned to me how much they enjoyed it. I think we were slightly disadvantaged by being Table 1 at the end of the room, in terms of sound, but we still had fun identifying some tunes and singing (poorly) along to the melodies. So many thanks again for contributing so much to our lovely party and celebrations. Kind Regards Joy & Peter.
