Fabulous

Hallo Gundula, I watched Boban Markovic, the Cherkezi Orchestra and Black Cat last night and I just wanted to tell you that the London Gypsy Orchestra beats them all. Well done. Am looking forward to seeing you again in Wanstead.

Dear Gundula -- A short note to say how much I enjoyed the concert today in St George's, Bristol. From where I and my partner were sitting it was quite spectacular as well as musically exhilarating. I appreciate that you & your colleagues will go on to other events and venues but be assured that your memory burns brightly here in this part of Bristol.
