He looked good on Encore and in audition and turned out to be way better than that. Original and generous in his contribution to show. A1.

What a crazy night! Favourite memory of the night is the look on everyone's faces as you smashed "Cake By the Ocean." You legend!

I was just about to email you to thank you once again … you guys were brilliant, and a real joy to deal with … all the mums at the playground were talking about you all too, so thank you! To be honest, I was enjoying your music so much you were over and done with in a flash … the last time I felt that was at the last Jools concert where I swear they only played for 20 mins! Thank you for playing the Time Warp and monty python too … a lot of giggles were had!
