Dear Brian, Josh and I want to thank you and the band very, very much for the great music on our wedding day at Solsgirth House. The afternoon music was perfect and really set the atmosphere in the gardens, everything was so relaxed and happy. And the evening music - well, what can I say. The variety was brilliant and really did get everyone up dancing....even if the dancing was a bit dubious at times. Lots of people have commented on how they enjoyed the music, and I have even passed on your contact details to a few friends. You are a very talented bunch. Thank you again for helping to make our wedding day so memorable and so much fun. Our official photos are on - www.dukestudios.co.uk. Click on search/home at that point and weddings 2006 comes up - we are under Emma and Joshua. Have a look if you are ever bored. Our very best wishes to you and the band- we have very fond memories of you. Take care, Emma and Josh Robinson.
