Hi Peter

Everything went great. Mark & Linda were awesome.

Please pass on our thanks.

Just wanted to say how terrific Mark & Linda were for my 40th Birthday on Saturday night.

All our guests had a fabulous time and that was largely down to the wonderful atmosphere they helped to create.

The dance-floor was full from start to finish. I wish we could party like that with them every week. :-)

Thanks again - They're going straight to the top of my recommendations list.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your email.
Mark and Linda were fantastic. My wife and I were very impressed, as were our guests. Please pass on my sincere thanks to them and reassure them that whilst there wasn't a lot of dancing that simply reflected the fact that most of the guests had not seen each other for 10 years and were intent on catching up.
Thanks again and feel free to use me as a referee.
Kind regards

Hi Kellie,
We had a fabulous wedding day and Mark and Linda were fantastic. They got everybody up dancing and a number of the guests came up to us during the wedding to say what a good band they were.
Thank you for your assistance in booking them.
Cheers,

This is the second year we have had Mark & Linda play at our Midwinter party, and once again, it was a great night! The dance floor was pumping all night and Mark & Linda were easy to interact with. Excellent music and a great night had by all!
We will definitely be booking them again

Hi Robyn and Pete
I just wanted to say that Mark and Linda were absolutely brilliant at our Midwinter Social Club event. Their playlist had us on our feet from the very first song and kept the dance floor full all night. I would definitely have them again at any of our functions and will be recommending them to others. Everyone said that the music was excellent and that they were very professional. We didn't want the night to end!

We had a magnificent night and I have made my comments below on Mark & Lindas act.
Mark and Linda were absolutely brilliant at our Gala Awards Dinner – they played a perfect mix of music and had us on our feet from the moment the last dessert was scoffed. We will definitely have them again for our next function. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
