Party in Farnham

Dear Fiddlestix,

Just a quick note to thank you for making my birthday celebrations go with such a swing on Sunday evening.
Although many of us were novices, you guided us all through the moves so expertly that many of us felt like accomplished dancers by the end of the evening.
I’ve passed your details on to various guests that requested them and all of our guests were very appreciative of the music you provided and the dancing.

Thanks again

Lorien

Burns Night, Kingston

Dear Fiddlestix

Thank you very much for what was once again a brilliant Burns Night. I have received good feedback from guests and staff, who all enjoyed the evening entertainment very much.
May see you the same time next year? Keep in touch and if anything else crops up this year I will be sure to be in touch.

Thanks again.

Dear Fiddlestix
All went very well - a number of people commented on what a good band you were - if we ever need a ceilidh band we would definitely give you a call and would also recommend you to other people. Thanks again for some great music and dancing.

Hi Fiddlestix,

Chris and I just wanted to say that we thoroughly enjoyed last night and thought the band and dancing were fabulous!
It was fantastic that you were able to come up with dances despite the pole in the centre of the room.
The disco was also perfect- I had a great time boogying!
Many thanks to the band, especially Mary, and Betty!
We will be glad to recommend you to anyone who needs a ceilidh in the future,

Kind regards and best wishes,

Becki & Chris

Dear Mike,
They loved Fiddlestix!! I think we will be amending the timings but booking you for next year!
As the event manager I was very impressed with everyone’s professionalism!

Many thanks

Puttenham Wedding

Dear Mike,

Apologies for only writing to you now.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for the wonderful evening you gave us all at our wedding reception in Puttenham on 2 June. I was a little skeptical of having a ceilidh at my wedding, but my wife really wanted one and, as is often the case!, she was right! We all really enjoyed it and we have had many comments from our guests to say that they thought you were excellent.
We are particularly grateful for your flexibility in waiting to get started and then mixing the ceilidh with more contemporary disco music, judging everyone's mood to perfection.
I wish you all the success in the future and should we shall certainly recommend you to friends and family and keep you in mind ourselves for future events.
Kind regards

Andrew

Wedding Farnham Castle

Hi Fiddlestix

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your band for putting on a fantastic ceilidh at our wedding at Farnham Castle. We have had so many comments about what a great evening our guests had and what a great idea a barn dance is. Your caller was fantastic and your music was great. I have not seen so many people dance at a wedding! I will definitely be recommending you to other friends who get married.

Once again thank you.

Kind regards

Clare and Nick

We all had a thoroughly good time, your
band and caller are excellent, lovely music and beautiful singing. Please
convey our thanks to your group. I have had several requests from
colleagues about recommending a ceilidh band and have no hesitation to pass
on your details. best wishes, Irene

Thank you so much for an absolutely brilliant ceilidh AND for the East European tunes, especially your expert rendition of the Polish 'Sto Lat'! We had an excellent time and Sarah's calling was pitched perfectly for our guests. They all loved it.

Wedding at Horsley Towers

We wanted to say thanks to you and your colleagues for a very fun ceilidh at our wedding. Lots of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it and we felt the room was filled with energy and enthusiasm - it was a fantastic atmosphere! Particular thanks to Sarah for being a great caller.
Best wishes

Joanne and Mike

Wedding in Leatherhead

The wedding was fantastic and all people talk about is how much fun the ceilidh was!!! thank you so much for making it go so well. Jimmy was a brilliant caller and people who had never even heard of a ceilidh before were flying around by the end of the evening. The way we all ended up outside on the grass dancing was perfect and so much fun.
many many thanks

Amy and Nick

Wedding in Alfriston

Hi Mike, we had a fantastic time last night. The Band really excelled themselves way beyond our expectations. Great musicians and a brilliant caller who created interaction between all the guests making sure everyone was involved in the Scottish dances. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

Dear Fiddlestix

Many thanks for playing so brilliantly for us at our wedding in September,
we had a fabulous time and several of our guests commented that they
hadn't had as much fun in a long time! Or as much exercise!

Thanks for helping us to make our day so special,

Therasa & Neil

Dawn & Andrews's Wedding, Brook near Haselmere

Dear Mike, Betty, Sarah, Mike, Conan, Kirsten

I am sorry it has taken me a while but I wanted to write to send you our sincerest thanks for the amazing job you did at our wedding.
So many of my guests have written or called and said how much they enjoyed the music and the reeling and what a wonderful job Sarah did at calling and getting everyone involved.
I was amazed at how many people were up dancing their pants off all evening, including the Swedish, French, Italians, Yanks and
Germans never mind all of the Sassonachs.

Our day was truly special and a great deal of thanks is owed to you for helping to make it so. We wish everyone could have such wonderful entertainers on their day and enjoy such great talent and wonderful music.

Now we just look forward to the next time we can come and enjoy one of your performances.

with heartfelt thanks

Dawn & Andrew

Will & Emma's Wedding, Loseley House, Guildford

Yes, everything was great thanks.

A big thank you to you all, the blend of traditional dancing combined with a
disco was exactly what we wanted. I think there was something for all
generations.

thanks
Will.

Morning Mike,
Well done on Saturday !
As you know, the audience took a wee bit of warming up, but you managed to
get them going, and everyone had a splendid evening. We will be having other
functions in the club rooms in the future, and I would have no qualms about
employing the services of Fiddlestix for another quality evening.

Many thanks again,

Brian Monks

Eton End School

Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you, but I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the band for the ceilidh at Eton on the 16th. We had a great night and a lot of that was down to you. So many many thanks.

We would like to book the band for another ceilidh in - wait for it - 2006!! , but it is Burns night so I thought we would get in early. I think Burns night is on Jan 23rd(?) so we would want the nearest Saturday to that - whatever that may be. So would you be free?

Many thanks

Rob
