"Thank you for performing so well at my wife's birthday party recently, your excellent music added a great deal to the occasion. It was a long evening and for you to play so many sets with such untiring enthusiasm were itself very impressive. In brief, we couldn't have asked for anything better, and would recommend you to anyone."
