Thank you for your message and I would just like to say that the
Barry Clewett duo just made the day. We had a lovely afternoon and
the music that Barry Clewett provided was exactly as we wanted it. A
very professional pair and the fact that they were able to come at
such short notice was amazing and made it possible for me to fulfill
my daughter's wish to have live music on her wedding day.
Thank you so much and you will definitely be our first point of call
for any event we need music for in the future.
Thank you again and best wishes for the festive season.
Regards
Warren and Jill Brown

Hi Pete
Sorry for the delay in replying to your email. Both acts were very good and fitted in smoothly with the event (e.g. setting up, presentation, choice of music, etc). Overall, it was the right mix of acts for the event. I would be grateful if you could pass our thanks on to each of them.
I understand that the Barry Clewett duo may be playing locally in the near future – so hope to get to see them again soon.
Thanks
Lynette (Wedding) (Barry Clewett Duo)
