Hi Guys, Just a few lines to say what a great show you guys from True Vybez put on for our launch party. As you know we had all shapes, sizes, colours and ages there but everybody has been coming up to me saying it was the best party they’ve ever been to! The way you guys worked with my sound guy was fantastic (btw Richard says hi to the girls!). If you want me to be a reference…no problem…. happy to talk to any future customers or e-mail etc. Once again thanks guys. Your very satisfied customer, Jon
