Hi Danny,
Thanks once again, you guys were the best band we could have wished for.
Christian Pearce – Wedding reception at The Belvedere – Holland Park – London.
Dear Rock Soc’,
I had to let you know how much we all enjoyed the band last Saturday. It really was great. Everyone, young and old, joined in - we could have done with a bigger dance floor! It was good to meet you later in the evening and I hope you had an easy journey back to London,
Thanks for a memorable performance,.
Kind regards,
Katy Colquhoun – Wedding reception at Rye Golf Club – West Sussex.
Cheers Danny, you guys were the best – everyone danced their socks off and said how perfect you were and how much fun they had. We’d all love to see you play again so please stay in touch!
All the best,
Victoria – ‘Nowhere Boy’ Rap Party at Ognisko - 55 Exhibition Rd – London – SW3.
Dear Danny
Just to say a huge thank you for the wonderful band you put together for the ECC Summer Ball.
I have had many comments passed on regarding the wonderful and enjoyable evening the guests had, and also about the brilliant Band... so on behalf of the guests and myself I would like to send on their (and my) thanks. I look forward to seeing you back here for another Ball!

Thank you for your note, i have been meaning to email you to say a huge thank you for Saturday-you were AMAZING! Everyone said how great you were and from our point of view it was perfect so THANK YOU!
Edwina and Jamie – Wedding in Suffolk
Hi Danny,
Really glad you guys had a great time, it certainly showed in your performance. It was a real pleasure to see big grins on each of the band members faces whilst they were ripping it up so magnificently! You can rest easy in the knowledge that you absolutely blew us all away. The number of conversations I have just had with guests that joined us for a post match lunch today about the how quality the band was is ridiculous. The beauty is that these conversations spanned almost all ages, from the really young through to the oldies. Everyone loved you guys! Really made a great day even better and all the hard work we had put into everything else was then cemented on the dance floor. So let the boys know they're doing well and hopefully much more business will be flowing your way from last night.
