Your super performance at our joint birthday celebration
Hi Mike
Just wanted to say… a big “thank you” to you and your Strings and Reeds band for your super performance at our joint birthday celebration ceilidh on Saturday night.
Rowena and I had a wonderful time and it seems everyone else did too. Lots of people have specifically mentioned how great the band was in their feedback and you were a big factor in an
all-round fantastic evening. We thought you hit exactly the right note for the occasion and it was so good to see a caller, donned with a head mic, getting down off the stage to be right in the middle of the action. I think everyone who was there – with the possible exception of the band and the caretaker! – wishes it could have gone on longer. We might even have had time then for the second
”strip the willow”!
So well done to all of you. Please pass on our great appreciation to your colleagues.
Best regards. Read more “Your super performance at our joint birthday celebration”

Just wanted to pass on my compliments to “Strings and Reeds”
Just wanted to pass on my compliments… to “Strings and Reeds” who performed for my wife’s 60th birthday in Doncaster on Saturday, they were fantastic, everything we hoped for. The leader Mike was very accommodating and humorous, kept us all on our feet even when we were ready to drop! The musicians in the band really know their stuff and I hope to see them again someday.
