Recommendations: Hi
Mike, I'd like to thank you and your
talented colleagues for helping to make our wedding day such a wonderful
occasion. We needed something low-key to fit in with our informal approach and
I was delighted to find that you understood exactly what we wanted and
delivered it on the day. Musicians aren't always known for their reliability
but at every stage (from first the email through to the actual performance) I
felt certain that you would be there with the correct equipment playing great
music! Well done. Best regards Chris and Suz Gartside
Dear Mike, Speaking from my heart I would like to
express my feelings about your music:
Your music and the joy and
happiness that it instills in people often leaves me in awe of the wonder of
music. I hope that you don't think this too sentimental but I have been a fan
of yours ever since your song "Mashed Potato" entered my world. In
short, I love the music that you play and the sound of your fellow musicians. I
truly believe that you musicians are the salt of the earth. You all spread so
much happiness and appreciation for the sound of jazz. I sometimes think that
jazz was born behind the blue door. I wish that I was on every committee of
every city of every country to recommend that your music be played, be it from
dawn to dusk.
I have had a long and
established career with an esteemed employer in the international entertainment
industry and have had the pleasure of attending various functions featuring
professional artists. With this background, I would have absolutely no
hesitation in highly recommending you to play at any occassion, be it
performing for a grand opening of a family casino complex in Las Vegas to a
local safari getaway.
With much appreciation for
you, yours and your music. Yours
truly,
Sue Wiltshire The Kerzner Group South African PA to Mr Sol Kerzner
