Steve,

Just a quick email to pass on my thanks for your help in organising John for us.  He was a very talented trumpeter and played wonderfully for us.  The music he played with the organ/piano was truly stunning.  I will text him thanks but in case he does not receive it if you can pass on our thanks I would be most grateful.

King regards

Thank you very much for entertaining us so well on Saturday.  You were a great success and appreciated by all.   I am sorry I did not have the chance to speak with you more and share my own appreciation with you.  I hope I have the opportunity to see your great quartet again sometime.

Review:

Good evening Steve,

Thought I'd drop you this mail just to say from myself and on behalf of the admin team on the Fan Dance event a very big thank you for coming along at very short notice and being able to perform the Last Post and Reveille which you did with perfection. It certainly was a fitting contribution to our memorial event for the 3 SAS recruits who lost their lives. Scores of attendees commented about you and asked me to pass on to you their gratitude.

I have attached a photo of you in mid action. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks again,

Jason

Dear Steve,

An enormous thank you to you and your players for your performance at our banquet last week.  I have had many comments from guests saying how much they enjoyed the music, and your playing of the Anvil Chorus was particularly appreciated!  The Post Horn Gallop lived up to every expectation, and a particular thank you for arranging for the organ to be played as the procession entered - the Master was most appreciative.

I will be in touch for next year when I have a confirmed date.

Thank you again!

with all good wishes,

Charlotte

Dear Steve,

Firstly may I apologise for the delay in sending this email out to you.  Its been a bit hectic here over the last couple of weeks and I kept meaning to write to you but never got round to it.  Thank you so much to you and your team for an excellent evening of music at our Annual Dinner.  It was very well received and feedback was positive.

Look forward to dealing with you in the future!

Kind regards

Dear Steve,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for the wonderful music you played for us on Friday night. It was so reassuring for me to know that we were in the hands of someone who knew exactly what the score was (no pun intended) and we are enormously grateful to you all.

With renewed thanks and very best wishes,

Steve,

Your group was WONDERFUL. The sound filled the space with happiness and joy. The music selection was just right. Many of the guests asked me where I found you.

I would be more than happy to act as a reference in the future, should you need one.

Again many thanks for making the evening a success.

Review:

Hi Steve,

Hope you got home safely after a long and very successful evening.

I write to thank you and your colleagues for making our Gala Dinner a very special occasion.

We had some super comments about the music which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The trumpets were particularly appreciated by the international guests - lots of camera phones being pointed at you!!

Please pass on my thanks to Ben and his colleagues for rising to all our varied challenges - they sounded superb!!

Ollie the organist was brilliant on piano and organ - which I think sounded fantastic, particularly as we entered into the Great Hall and the Chariots of Fire!!

Thank you again - it is always a pleasure to work with you.

I will send you some pictures when we have them available.

Thank you for all your help and advice and for making our Gala Dinner a very memorable occasion.

Kindest regards,

Annie
Aluminium Federation
