From the first dance to the last, the floor was full thanks to the excellent music, as well as Simon and his calling skills. In the lead up to the event, Ian maintained regular contact and helped with suggesting a format for the event that would work best. On the day the band arrived exactly on schedule and ensured everyone had a most enjoyable evening. Thank you Ian, Simon and Bob!"
