Dear Steve

Thank you so much for all that you did on Friday night.  Your part in the evening was a major factor in making it one of the best dinners Figaro has had since it was formed.  Thank you so much - the Post Horn Gallop never fails to stir the emotions and the humour you attached to it brought the house down.  I very much hope you will now get dozens of bookings as a result.

Have a a good Christmas and thank you once again.

Best wishes

Michael

Hi Steve,

Just wanted to say thankyou for playing at my sister's wedding, it was amazing!

And thank you even more for arranging it in under 36 hours after we were let down by the student quartet!! That will teach me not to penny pinch again for such an important occasion! We really appreciate the effort you went to.

The music was amazing, absolutely stunning - every guest commented on how it "made" the service complete and how lovely is sounded throughout the church. A lot of the younger guests were very impressed with the coldplay song as we were leaving. My sister was brought to tears when I told her you were able to play the cannon in d that she had always wanted.

Thank you again so much for arranging it in short notice and for being able to play such a lovely range of songs - you are truly stunning musicians

Thanks again

Hi Steve

I hope you're well.

Apologies for not being in touch sooner, I have been meaning to email a formal thanks for the event at Warwick.

Thank you again for a wonderful performance. The client was absolutely thrilled with the evening and yet again you and your guys contributed to making our event a success, thank you. The post horn gallop went down an absolute storm!

Good news…….we have another client that is looking to get in touch with professional musicians for a couple of events she has in the City throughout October- so of course I have recommended you!

With best wishes

Hi Steve

A brief note to say thank-you very much for playing so beautifully at Kathryn and John's wedding.   Everyone asked who you were and how we had managed to find you!   The Post Horn Gallop was fantastic, a brilliant end to the meal!   Added to which, the rain kept away!   Sorry I didn't get much chance to speak to you, I had forgotten how hectic a wedding day can be, but Chris tells me he chatted to you.

Once again, our thanks for helping to make Kathryn and John's wedding so memorable!

HI Steve

Just to say thank you so much for the trumpeter on saturday. He did a fantastic job and i think everyone though that everyone said that it really made the wedding ceremony. I don't think i will ever forget Jen entering the church with the organ and trumpet playing!

Thankyou so much for all of your help....sorry for being a bit disorganised!

Hello Steve,

This is just a quick email to say thank you so much for your beautiful music yesterday.  I have had excellent feed back from everyone - including some small children who apparently sat there in awe and silence for at least 15 minutes!!

The day went very well and everyone really enjoyed themselves and I hope you did too!

Many thanks again.

Kind regards,

Nikki
