Hi Steven,

I just wanted to say thank you for performing at Jennifer and Jim's wedding last month, it was an absolute triumph and you made the entire occasion very special indeed.

So many people commented on your fabulous repertoire and how wonderful the fanfare was that greeted the happy couple.

Thank you and your associates and I wish you all the very best for the future.

Kind regards

Hi Steve

Apologies for the delay in sending this email - where does the time go?

I write to thank you and your colleagues for providing the excellent music at the Aluminium Federation Dinner at Merchant Taylors Hall.

We had some super comments about the music - in particular the Post Horn Gallop where we think you and your fellow trumpeteer excelled yourselves!!

Thank you again.

Please find some pictures which you may like to use.

Review:

Dear Steve,

I want to thank you and your fellow musicians for a very polished performance at our recent Banquet at Mansion House. The music was excellent and I have to say that I thought, and a number of others have commented, that the Post Horn Galop was the best we had ever heard (and I have certainly heard a number over the years!). You and your colleague are superb trumpet players.

Many thanks indeed. I hope we will be able to use you again next year.

With very best wishes,

Carole

Hi Steve

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

I write to thank you and your colleagues for providing the fantastic music at the Aluminium Federation Dinner last night. I think you and your colleagues excelled yourself this year.

We had some super comments about the music - our President and many of his Welsh colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the Quartet and the Welsh songs - he was quite emotional about them. Please pass on my thanks to Andrew and his colleagues - we really appreciated the work he did with the songs - particularly as they were sung in Welsh!

We all thought the Battle Hymn (Glory Glory Aluminium!) was brilliant and all anticipated with gusto.

The Double Post Horn Gallop was also a great success.

Thank you again - it is always a pleasure to work with you and you always rise to the challenges we throw at you - the sign of a true professional!

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

Kindest regards

Annie
