“Thank you all once again for brilliant music. So many people asked me who you were - thought you sounded wonderful! They all wanted to hear more during dinner! ”

, London Ball June 2008, (June, 2008)

“I really don't know how to begin to thank you for your wonderful music. It was absolute perfection in every way and it truly made our day. Indeed, not only was the music itself first-class but the sight of you all grouped there on the sunken lawn in your splendid and elegant attire lent an almost dream-like air to the occasion. Likewise, at the Wedding Breakfast in the Dining Hall, it was almost 'out of this world' hearing all that beautifully played music wafting down from the Minstrels Gallery. In addition to all of that, I would just like to say that it really has been an enormous pleasure 'dealing' with you - from the time when we very first made contact right up until our last exchange of emails. You simply couldn't have been more charming, helpful and obliging if you had tried! While wishing the four of you the very, very best for the future, one thing is for sure: the world of music an only be a better place with the continuing presence of all you within it! ”
