I'm
just writing to you and the rest of the band on behalf of all my family
and friends to say a massive thank you for the most amazing night we've
had in a long while! People had travelled from quite a distance to come
to the party and they were not let down - the atmosphere was electric
and that's all thanks to you guys! It will not be forgotten in a hurry! Wow! What a band and what a night. You were all
fabulous! Nobody wanted you to stop and thankyou for keeping going as
long as you did. Please send all my all love and thanks to everybody.
Hi there, Just wanted to say a big thank you
to the guys who played at our wedding. Russ and I were very excited about
having a live band at our wedding as it was kind of our gift to each other.
And despite these high expectations we weren't disappointed! I would just like to say again thank you very much for a fantastic performance. You were all fantastic and so many people loved you. So many compliments I couldnt keep up. You really made the evening and again THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Emma, Bullet Ball, July 2006 Just a short note of thanks for Saturday. Everyone
thought you were brilliant and were asking where I'd got you from etc.
Most importantly, Stani and I thought you were great. Thanks and good
luck in your careers. I think there are two things that make the band
a must see: the repertoire and the quality of the players. Journeying
through guitar and vocal ballads, historic jazz standards, quintet blues
and finishing up at Oasis is what I call getting my moneys worth. And
the fact that every member of the band can deliver a first class solo
is unbelievable. Frankly, I think you're pretty unique as an ensemble. Graham, Chequermead Theatre, May 2006 "The 6th of May seems a little while ago now, but we had the most fabulous day and the crowning glory was your band in the evening. Our aim was to find a band whose repertoire would transcend the cultures and ages of the guests, which yours achieved effortlessly. The musical arrangement for the night was perfect. We have received wonderful compliments from many guests who enjoyed the energy of the performance through to those who were enjoying the exceptional musical quality. The italians wer thrilled and very impressed with your performance of 'Tu vuoi fa l'americano'. Two aspiring bass players very much enjoyed 'The chicken'. We were of course delighted with your flawless performance of 'Beyond the sea' for our first dance.Finally I wanted to say a big thank you for playing 'Happy Birthday' for my father at the end of the evening. It was a wonderful touch and very kind of you. In short, you made our evening into a perfect reception. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Lucinda and Giancarlo 6th May 2006 "To Alex, Gary and all the boys and girls of Straight No Chaser. A huge thank you for a wonderful evening on the 28th May. You were the talk of the wedding (after the Bride and Groom of course!) "Tracy and Kevin, 28th May 2005 "We were all delighted with the band and several people have been in touch to say you were the best we've ever had. We will certainly come back to you for future gigs probably at a better venue. Once again thanks for a great performance and please pass our thanks to the other members" Iris, "The Leftovers" 10th Dec 2005 "Alex, having returned from my week in Marrakech I just wanted to say thanks for the great music your band provided at the wedding. It was precisely what I'd wanted for the occasion and I've had many positive comments about your music from people who were at the evening bash. I particularly wanted t thank you for playing the song "Almost like being in love". You played a great version which defied the fact that I'd only asked if you knew it a week before hand! Thanks once again, and I hope you and your band enjoyed playing for us" Gareth, RSA 22nd Oct 2005 "Hi Alex. just a short note to thank you and the band for such a splendid performance on Saturday evening and for helping to make Anna and Julian's day very special. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the band was really excellent. (in fact I'm listening to your CD as I type!) Please convey our thanks to them all. If we or our friends are ever in need of a big band again we will certainly be in touch." Josie, 20th Aug 2005 "Dear Alex and team! Alex and I would like to thank you very much for the music you played on our wedding day. Everything was set up so quickly and I don't think there was ever a moment when no one was dancing. You let us know when it was time for our dance and a dance with my father and it was all very relaxed and enjoyable. Lots of people have got back to us to say how great you are so we will be passing your details round. Thank you for making such a big part of our wedding day perfect." Tracy and Alex 23rd July 2005 "Thank you so much for all the extra hours you have put into organising the music for our wedding. We have been so excited about you playing for us. " Marie and Andrew 21st May 2005 "We wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks to you and the rest of the band for such a brilliant contribution to our wedding reception. We received many glowing reports from our guests, who really enjoyed your performance, and we thoroughly look forward to recommending you to other friends who will be getting married in the coming months." Jaqui and Glenn 6th Aug 2005 "Just a quick note to thank you and the band for the brilliant performance at our wedding on the 27th May. Everyone really enjoyed the music and commented on how great a voice your singer had and how well the band played. Although I didn't get to hear the entire set as a result of having to rush around saying hello to all our guests, the mix of songs was just what we had anticipated and fitted perfectly with the balmy evening we were so lucky to enjoy." Zoe and Jim 27th may 2005 "Just had to let you know how fantastic last night was! We went along with our friends, and we were all so impressed, your solo was amazing. Gary and Rebecca sounded even better than on your site! You should add a "comments" from people who have been to see you on your web site! {ah ha, now done at last! - Alex} More pleased than ever that you are going to play at our wedding " Carol and Brett, Capitol Theatre, 2005 "I just thought you might like to know that my parents heard you guys last week at Wakehurst and were blown away by the playing, they thought you were fab. Then once they realised you were playing at our wedding there was high excitement!! My mum i now making sure the hall is full to capacity because she doesn't want anyone to miss out hearing you!! A high recommendation!" Rebecca, Wakehurst Place Arts Gigantic , 2005 "My sincere thanks to you and all your band members for the wonderful performance you put on for Melanie's 40th Birthday Party. It is fair to say that the majority of guests have been calling me to say how wonderful the band were. The night will certainly be one to remember, and all the effort you all put in is greatly appreciated - you must all really enjoy what you do! Please pass on my thanks to all your band members, including Gary and Sue who I thought were fabulous! I am sure we will come and see you all at one of your gigs later on in the year. Once again many, many thanks, and keep playing those fantastic tunes! " Darren, 14th may, 2005 |
