Just a quick email to say thank you SO much for Saturday. Everyone had such a fantastic time and there's been heaps of awesome feedback from our guests about you.

I really wanted to thank you so much for an awesome performance on the 25th of June at my party in Steventon. Everyone has commented on how completely brilliant you were.... I consider that we were blessed to have had the great fortune to have had you play at the event, and really appreciate the extra couple of numbers you managed to fit in for us.
