 A 70th birthday party with Bernard Cromarty  

Thank you very much for playing and calling at the party on Saturday.

I was very keen that we had live music without the sound overpowering everything and without the dances being too difficult for the participants. I thought the two of you provided the perfect balance.

Dear Kate and band,

I just want to say a huge thanks for performing at out Barndance a few weeks ago.  We raised over £800 which is a fantastic amount.  

The feed back we have had has been fantastic, especially concerning your band and caller.  I have already passed your contact details on to a few people

Looking forward to the next one.

A school PTA barn dance with Black Cat band

Thank you Mo.

The event was most definitely a great sucess.  The children loved the dancing - and already I have heard calls for 'please can we do it again next year?'.   It was a great community builder for school

A Birthday party with Black Cat band

Thanks Mo for all your efforts and thanks to the Band too. I've had many nice comments from the party-goers saying how much they enjoyed the music and dancing, even if they didn't dance themselves.

You organised it very well and I shall certainly pass your name to friends.

Just a quick note to say thanks so much for last night - everyone really enjoyed themselves and we thought you picked just the right dances for the crowd.  Hopefully we'll be able to do it again sometime soon!

After a Sealed Knot banquet with Playford dancing

 Firstly, many thanks for your contribution to making the recent banquet the success it was. ...my feeling was that all the guests were enjoying themselves throughout the evening.    The time went by all too quickly, with many more staying for longer (V.I.P.'s included).  

I thought the dancing response was the best yet. I don't think you had to do as much persuading. Certainly, the programme of dances, as we discussed, worked, and, if you have kept a list of same, could, certainly, be repeated next year. We joked with the Deputy Mayor (who may be elected as Mayor for next year) that (having found out he would very much like to dance) best to start with dance one (Peascods) because dances would become more complex later, and this he found out for himself when he was asked to dance by the Royalist Lord General - a female. Thank you so much, Mo, for all your planning, patience and humour, which did much to enhance the evening for those tripping the light fantastic. It is also appreciated that your fee remains at ....
