Dear Tribute Entertainment

Re: Blues Bros (Elwood & Jake)

I am pleased to say that my husband was delighted with the surprise band for his 40th birthday bash. I've had nothing but praise for the band as they put on a brilliant show and took care of everything. This was wonderful as I was extremely stressed at the time.

Each member of the band went out of their way to be helpful and the children at the party enjoyed themselves just as much as the adults which made the whole night better for everyone. Please pass on our thanks once again and we all hope they had a safe journey home.

If I ever need entertainers again I will be using your company and I am happy to recommend you to others.

Thank You

Re: Elvis (Memphis King) Hilton Avisford Park

I write to express my sincerest gratitude to you for organising Roy Evans (Memphis King) to appear at our wedding - what a fantastic guy.

All our guests thought Roy was absolutely brilliant and really enjoyed his performance, he has a real talent and is a credit to your agency.

We cannot believe the feedback we have had since our wedding from nearly all our guests and most have commented that they spoke to Roy either before or after his performance. Not only have people raved over his performance but also have made genuine comments about what a really nice guy Roy is.

Please would you pass on our gratitude to Roy for making our wedding day so special and certainly a wedding to remember for all our guests. Roy has talent and a brilliant personality which is a rare combination. We wish him every success for the future.

I am already working on my husband for an excuse to have either another party so we can book Roy again. You never know he might succumb and treat me on our first wedding anniversary.

Once again thank you.

Kind regards

Mrs Wendy Carmen

Re: The Parakeets

John, just a short note to thank you for providiing The Parakeets for our Valentine's Dance.

Once again the lads were superb and had the dance floor full. Their wide range of music meant that there was something for everyone and I have had nothing but positive comments praising their performance.

It was a pleasure to work once again with such a professional band, who obviously enjoy what they do. I would happily recommend The Parakeets to any prospective employers who enjoy live music at its best.

Hi John, Tony

I'd just like to thank you for the smooth, painless organisation for Andy (Pure Meatloaf) at my girlfriends party last week.

Everything went along perfectly.

I must say Andy was superb - a real hit. He soon got the crowd going and on the dance floor. One of the guests even got on the stage to sing a duet with him, all in great humour. Andy and his partner Julie were really friendly and topped off a fantastic night. My guests are still raving on, saying it was one of the best parties they have ever been to!

Thanks Again

Neil Sandham
Cheshire

P.S. It goes without saying - if anyone wants a reference for Andy I'd be more than happy to give one.

 

 

Dear Tony & All

They said it could not get better but it has. The first of our 9 shows booked with you was Friday 4th February featuring brilliant comic Lester Crabtree and tribute artist Gary Ryan (Neil Diamond).

Lester was here in May 2004, back by public demand and what a performance he gave, all the jokes new and not repeated from the 2004 show, a real gent, couldn't get him off stage he would have stayed all night if we had let him. Took time again after his spot to mingle with the audience, it's no wonder he gets such rave reviews, an honest and true professional performer.

As for Gary Ryan as 'Neil Diamond' he was the tops! what a great tribute, he looked, sang and had the mannerisms of Neil Diamond. He had the audience dancing and clapping from beginning to end, what a show.

Like Lester, Gary had time for everyone, nothing was too much trouble, he must have had sore hands when he got home, as he had to shake lots of hands after his performance.

I can't record enough plaudits for the show, marvellous, superb, breathtaking and lots more besides.

If the other 8 shows are as good as this we are in for a good year, thanks to you Tony and the gang for all your hard work on our behalf in putting on these shows with minimal input from myself.

Thank You!

Dear Sirs

Re: Contract No.8760

We wanted to write to you to ask if you would pass on our thanks to Counterfeit Abba for their performance at our wedding on Saturday 4th December.

Their contribution to our evening was outstanding, we couldn't have had a better tribute band. They didn't just come along and perform as many would, but they got everyone involved and up dancing and created an absolutely magical atmosphere.

We would definitely recommend Counterfeit Abba and if ever we wanted an Abba tribute band again, they would be the first on our list.

Thanks again, it was worth every penny.

Yours faithfully

Mr & Mrs Murphy

Dear John

I wanted to write and say a huge thank you for putting me in touch with Memphis King, who performed for us at our wedding on Saturday.

He was truly amazing and in fact people thought he was miming as he sounded so much like Elvis. It was the quickest hour I have ever had, but it was worth every penny.

Memphis was fantastic and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else.

David and I were so pleased we chose Memphis to celebrate our special day with us. Please pass our huge thanks on to Roy for the wonderful performance.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,

Michaela (Mrs Dalton!)

Dear Tony

I thought I’d just drop you a line to express our thanks for finding Andy P (Pure Meatloaf) for our fundraising night on Sat 4th December.

All I can say is WOW - What a star!. Andy was absolutely fantastic and the whole club was rocking. We had a fantastic evening and couldn’t thank Andy and his partner Julie enough. I would highly recommend him and will certainly be making another booking for next year.

Many thanks

Dear Tony

I am writing to thank you for recommending and providing the excellent Angel X for our Ladies Dinner Night on Saturday.

Please thank them on my behalf, and on behalf of all those who attended for their performance and talent. Dave and the band managed to do what many others fail to achieve and had people dancing from the start of their act. The choice and variety of music was superb and to everyone's liking.

I have had nothing but positive feedback from the night and I would have no hesitation in recommending Angel X to other colleagues who are in search of a Top Class Act.

Chris Gray
Hull

Last Saturday we had the great pleasure of being entertained by the Blues Bros 'Elwood & Jake' which I booked through your agency for a surprise party for my husband.

They were absolutely fantastic. They definitely exceeded my expectations, superb entertainment for everyone. The band members themselves were friendly and cheerful and lovely to deal with. The standard of singing was excellent, very 'Blues Bros' they had the place jumping after their first song.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends in the future.

Thank you for guiding me in the right direction in booking this act, it was such a good decision.

Yours sincerely

Dear Tony

Re: Memphis King & The Deep South Band

We booked Memphis King and The Deep South band for our wedding on Saturday 30th October. We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the act.

All our friends and family were amazed by the show and it really made the evening for us. Having The Deep South backing Memphis King instead of a sound track really added to the atmosphere. The girls on backing vocals were great, and Roy (Memphis King) was just fantastic. We couldn't have asked for anything better and I know it is something everyone will remember in years to come.

We'd really appreciate it if you would pass on our thanks to Roy, the boys in the band and the backing singers. We will be recommending your company, and Roy (with band) to all our friends and colleagues.

Thanks again.

Dear Tony & All,

Re: Friday 8th October

Well, I thought you couldn't top the two shows you have supplied us at Baddeley Green, but you have. We had Christopher Nott as "David Essex", to say he was good, is an understatement, he was fantastic. We had in our audience 15 to 20 die-hard Essex fans who said they had seen the real David Essex live in "Boogie Nights" the previous week at the Regent Theatre in Stoke and that Christopher Nott was better, what a compliment.

Christopher was the ultimate professional and at the end of the show took time to talk to the audience on a one to one basis, they loved him. And what can we say about the Irish comedian "Paddy Greene" he was completely mad, a total nutter but what a marvellous entertainer, he should have been taken away in a straight jacket . He started just after I introduced him on stage and he didn't appear through the curtains, I found him amongst the audience laughing at me and treating me as the comedian he said "I'm only here for the money" what a funny man the whole audience was crying with laughter.

If anyone reads this small note I would say to those who want to book an act consider the above two, they are well worth the cost, you won't be disappointed.

Please pass on our regards to the above two who are walking examples of why "LIVE" entertainment is not "DEAD"

Regards to all at "Tribute Entertainment"

Re: My wedding on Sat 21st August

Sorry for the delay in writing a note of thanks, we have just returned from an idyllic honeymoon in Dubai.

Well Tony, I cannot thank you enough for personally recommending the most fantastic line up for the evening entertainment at my wedding just over a week ago.

Mission Blue, Phil Steed (Tom Jones) and Pete Foster Disco were all absolutely brilliant. It was a great shame that our wedding breakfast overran, due to lengthy speeches by no less than 3 best men. Thus meaning the band could not perform for as long as we'd have liked or we'd have been out of time.

The dance floor was filled on their first number and our guests were sorely disappointed when Mission Blue left after performing for us for just an hour.

Phil Steed (Tom Jones) was a fantastic surprise and our guests loved him. The evening was choreographed brilliantly by Pete Foster who played our chosen first, second and final dance.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to anybody else. It was a fantastic day, just went by too quickly. I know I'll be using you again in the future. Thanks once again for helping make my day so special.

Best regards

Dear Tony & All

Re: Friday 13th August

Thank you - you have done it again!

We booked comedian Gary Marshall and the Lionel Richie tribute artist Hamilton Browne for our second Baddeley Green Show. Gary was like our previous comedian Lester Crabtree, Superb. Hamilton Browne was something to behold, outstanding, he had them dancing in the isles non-stop, what a showman.

Hamilton was accommodating in every department, playing all the requests of the audience, a very quiet and respectfull man, a pleasure to be in his company. I hope we treated him with the same respect that he afforded us, we will have him back anytime. Please pass on our, and certainly my regards to Hamilton for a truly outstanding show.

I spoke to Hamilton regarding him appearing here next year in a "Legends Show" featuring himself, Gerry Grant (Roy Orbison) and a Neil Diamond tribute artist.

Again regards and thanks for all your ongoing help and support. I'm looking forward to our next show featuring the "David Essex" tribute artist Christopher Nott in October.

Dear Tribute Entertainment

I write to thank you for providing the entertainment for our Summer Ball on Friday 16th July. The Parakeets were absolutely fantastic, they were friendly and accommodated every request that was asked of them. Tommy was a real gem and I felt as though I had known him for years as I did with the entire band.

They catered for a massive and varied taste in music and although there was not much room for people to dance it didn't stop them bouncing around the tables.

Peter Foster and his Timewarp Disco was equally superb, again a really nice, friendly and professional guy. He handled all requests asked in a cheerful helpful manner, a true professional. He managed to get people out of their seats almost instantaneously. His state of the art modern equipment was fantastic and he ran his sets like clockwork, brilliant.

Everyone who has spoken to me has said what a fantastic night they had and I would have no hesitation in recommending either of these acts to anyone else or indeed to book them again myself. Both acts are a credit to your agency.

Once again your agency has come up trumps, brilliant!!

Yours sincerely

Dear Tribute Entertainment

Re: Summer Ball - Sat 26th June

I would like to express my thanks to you for recommending the group, Back For Good (Koo Ka Choo), they were fantastic and very professional. We are only a small venue but to see all members on the dance floor for most of the evening was down to the group and their inter-action with the guests, which really made the evening. I would certainly be interested in booking them again.

I am now looking forward to our Christmas function, which will have a much larger audience, where you will be providing the group The Parakeets for our entertainment, as going on Koo Ka Choo's performance I know we are in for a great evening.

I will certainly recommend your organisation to others and look forward to booking other acts over the coming years.

Re: Grand Summer Ball - Sat 26th June

I write to thank you for recommending Peter Foster and his Timewarp Disco, along with the band 'Get Down On It' as the acts for our Annual Grand Summer Ball.

Please thank them on my behalf, and on behalf of all 343 guests for their outstanding talents and performances. I cannot praise them enough. The band was nothing short of magnificent from start till finish, with their wide and varied set. Please wish them the very best in all that they do in the future.

Peter Foster was equally magnificent. His cheery, professional approach is testament to him as a person.

Everybody that I have spoken to has heaped praise about the band and the disco. Thank you again for recommending them to me, they certainly didn't let you down. Also thank you for your prompt advice and correspondence in all preparatory matters.

Yours sincerely

Dear Tony

Re: Booking of Aaron King (Elvis), Dad's 60th - 29th May

Just wanted to send you a big "Thank You" for all your help in finding Aaron King for us. He was absolutely brilliant. He made a terrible day, West Ham lost in the first division football play-off finals, my Dad's other big love after Elvis and my Mum (not sure in which order!), turn into something we shall never forget.

Really something special.

I wanted you to know that I would thoroughly recommend him as a great professional and the closest to Elvis we are ever going to get. Wonderful. Dad was so happy and excited - it was a great surprise for him. Everyone really enjoyed it and most importantly - Dad did.

I hope you don't mind but I gave Dad the sample CD of Aaron you kindly sent me. Dad hasn't stopped playing it. You were right - you can't tell the difference between Elvis singing and Aaron King.

Thank you Tony, I hope that everything goes well with you.

Kind regards

Re: Kylie (Joanne Steel) - Wednesday 28th April

Just a quick line to thank you very much for organising this. Joanne was absolutely excellent. She arrived in plenty of time, set up a very impressive sound and light show and did a truly amazing set.

She got everyone dancing and all of my friends have said that it was a great party and how wonderful Kylie was.

Please pass on my thanks to Joanne again as the night was a bit of a fast blur for me. I'm sure that some of my friends will be booking through you again sometime.

Dear Tony and All

Thank you for all your help in organising our first showcase at Baddeley Green, Stoke on Trent on Friday 16th April. You put us in touch with Lester Crabtree (Comedian) and Gerry Grant (Roy Orbison), to say the show was great would be an understatement.

Lester was out of this world and had the audience in the palm of his hand during his entertaining act. He is a must for any function, brilliant. Gerry Grant was superb, if you looked away you would think the great man was there himself, what made it even more spooky was the fact that Gerry actually looks like Roy Orbison. I personally have known Gerry for over 30 years and he is still mesmerising. Both acts were at a very competitive and affordable price. We made a profit and could have sold ten times the tickets we did. The demand for tickets was phenomenal bearing in mind our club comfortably seats 400 people.

This is our first venture into showcase show's and we will be using your orginisation again shortly. On a final note would you pass on our regards and thanks to Lester for his contribution, hopefully we made him feel welcome. He had time after his spot to talk to the audience on a one to one basis which our members appreciated, a real gentleman. He said he liked our club, I know we liked him.

Regards to you all with thanks.

Dear Christopher Nott (David Essex)

Re: Angie's 40th Birthday Party (19th February)

A huge 'thank you' for your fantastic show on Saturday night. I was quite beside myself when you arrived on stage and my state of over-excitement has been a topic for much discussion.

All of my guests agree that your appearance was a real highlight of the evening - not sure that my part in the Elton/Kiki duet had quite the same effect. However, I felt like a superstar up there with you.

Your professionalism and dedication to your art is a credit to you and I wish you every success in the future. You must put 14th February 2014 in your diary as I am already planning my 50th party.

I will try to see you at one of your forthcoming appearances, in the meantime, thanks so much for making one of my dreams come true.

Dear Tribute Entertainment

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for such great entertainment over the last 12 months whilst I have been President. All of our functions have been fabulous and much is due to the excellent entertainment that your company have supplied.

I was very pleased to receive praise especially from the Commanding Officer congratulating me on the functions that I have organised. Much praise should be passed on to your entertainers for their professionalism and high standards of excellence.

What an outstanding show "Koo Ka Choo" and "Lester Crabtree" provided to end my year as President. During the second stint everyone was either on their feet dancing or stood on their chairs enjoying the show. The audience were totally enthralled by the spectacular performances by the the band and the comedian.

Once again, thank you for all your assistance during the year. I shall pass on to my successor all details and hopefully I shall enjoy more from Tribute Entertainment in the year ahead.

Dear Tribute Entertainment

I feel it is my duty to write to you in response to the entertainment provided for my organisations Ball. The evening was a great success with all attendees believing their money was well spent. The two hundred people present were especially impressed with the band. The Parakeets, who from the first note to the last were astounding. It was clear from their first chord that they were accomplished musicians and it also became clear they could judge an audience and the music that would get the greatest response. They had the audience on the dance floor before their second song had ended and it was never less than packed with revellers for all their subsequent songs. Their performance was nothing short of astonishing and as good as any live music those attending had heard anywhere, a magnificent band who I would book again.

The band behaved impeccably at all times and was very pleased with the response from their new fans. Much 'quaffing' was paid for by us in gratitude for their sterling performance and they are now seen as invited friends rather than paid performers. I have personally received four written appreciations of the evening and all mentioned the band as a key factor in their enjoyment of the evening, everyone else I have spoken to believes it was our best function ever.

That I booked this band on your recommendation and that of the Commando Training Centre was a risk but you repaid my faith in your company and sent superb entertainers, who represented you extremely well. I would recommend both The Parakeets and Tribute Entertainment to anyone considering booking entertainment in the future.

Yours sincerely

Dear Tony

What can I say...we were not let down!!

Please pass on my most sincere thanks to all those involved in our Christmas function on Friday 12th December. Everything went smoothly, in no small part, due to the professionalism, flexibility and of course, talent of all the acts booked.

Koo Ka Choo brought new meaning to filling the dance floor and their extravaganza and flair brought numerous encores. Martin Jarvis (Tom Jones) ensured that only half the ladies left with underwear! Both acts played a massive part in the success of the evening.

Every mess member and guest that I spoke to remarked enthusiastically about the atmosphere they provided on their arrival. Peter Foster of Timewarp Disco had a hard act to follow but didn't fail...keeping the dance floor packed until the very early hours.

I hope the guys feel they were suitably hosted and look forward to recommending them to future function organisers. I'm sure everyone would join me in congratulating them for the professionalism, effort and presentation of them all. On behalf of everyone, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

I would certainly recommend Girlzworld to anyone who is looking to create an evening to remember.

Dear Tony

This letter is to let you know how much everybody who attended the Summer Ball enjoyed the evening's entertainment.

From that day to this, people have not stopped congratulating the committee on a very successful night.

Peter Foster of TIMEWARP DISCO was very professional and an excellent DJ. The dance floor was at its capacity all night and he has already been booked for future functions.

The comedian LESTER CRABTREE was absolutely fantastic. His jokes and gags had never been heard before and nobody dared to talk or move in case he picked on them. Some people had stomach-ache the next day from laughing so much. I would highly recommend him to any committee thinking of hiring a comedian.

T.L.CEE Entered into the theme of the night and went down fantastically with the audience. Their range of music from that era was absolutely brilliant. My only regret was not booking them to appear for more than two forty five minute slots.

On behalf of the Summer Ball committee I would like to thank you for your help in providing high quality entertainment, on what was a very enjoyable and successful night.

Thanks again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend your agency and especially Aaron King to other potential organisers.

Just a quick note to say thanks for your help in organising Dean Taylor for our Xmas Party last year. He was fantastic - everything I'd hoped for and more!

He really was a great success.

Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Dear John,

We just want to let you know what a wonderful time we had with Memphis King on Dec 6th, he was absolutely fantastic, professional in every way, and would also find time to talk to us and pose for photo's.

Some of our quests actually thought he was miming to Elvis! This surely shows what a superb singer he is!!!

I would also like to thank you and Tribute for the kind and courteous way you dealt with our request, you said we wouldn't be disappointed...how right you were!!!

My wife is already talking about a repeat performance same time next year.

Thanks again & best regards,

Dear Tony

I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to your company for supplying the outstanding entertainment for our Christmas function.

I am grateful for your help and assistance in choosing the right entertainment for the night and also for making my life a lot easier.

The five piece band "Girlzworld" were fantastic. Not only were they very professional and friendly, but their range of music suited young and old alike and set the trend for the evening with their first of two sets. I would highly recommend "Girlzworld" for any function or venue.

The comedian "Lester Crabtree" went down a storm, with a wide and varied assortment of jokes and gags. He had the majority of the audience sat bolt rigid daring not to move or talk in fear that he would pick on them. Brilliant.

The night was a huge success, and I would like to personally thank you for your professionalism and assistance, and I will be passing on your details to the next committee.

Dear Tony

I just wanted to say how brilliant Martin Jarvis (Tom Jones) was on Wednesday evening. Everyone was bowled over by his voice, he worked the audience really well and was worth every single penny.

As you know, I was a bit worried what Damien’s reaction would be but, after the initial shock, he was absolutely delighted. So many guests have commented on what a great idea it was but not only that, how good Adam actually was. Please pass on my thanks to him as I didn’t really get the opportunity to thank him properly on the night (I was too busy trying to keep Damien away from him as he thought that Adam was the DJ!). He was brilliant and contributed to making our wedding reception a very special and memorable event.

Thanks again,

Michelle Berry

 

 

Dear Tribute Entertainment

I would like to thank you for your recommendations regarding the band "Koo Ka Choo" and the comedian "Gary Skyner" for our event on 7th Sept. They were absolutely fantastic, Gary has to be the funniest man I've met in a long time. My stomach still hurts now. The band had the whole place bouncing in minutes and produced a top quality show, fantastic.

Thank you for your excellent advice with regard to the selection of artiste and for the thoroughly professional way in which you conduct business. I think I speak for every single person who attended, they had a fantastic evening.

I have been let down in the past by other agencies providing a mediocre service and acts. I will definitely us Tribute Entertainment again and highly recommend you and your acts wholeheartedly.

I have just returned from my holidays and can only apologise for not having written sooner...I left for the Dominican Republic the day after our celebration in Stonehouse Court.

I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for organising Lorelei Lee to act as Marilyn Monroe for the day! She was wonderful - extremely professional at all times and went down a storm.

As soon as I receive digital photo's I will send you copies - perhaps they may be of use to you in the future.

Thanks so much again.

Dear Sirs

Further to my telephone call to your agency earlier today please find enclosed our 'thank you' letter to the Bob Ludlam Function Band who performed for us on 18th October at the party held by Mrs Bellinger. The gentleman I spoke to said to send it to yourselves and you would pass it on to the band, and we would be very grateful if you would please do so.

Both Brandywine Bridge and Lori Brown were excellent, but everyone who attended the party singled out the Bob Ludlam Function Band for special praise - they really made the evening and had everyone dancing the night away.

Please accept our thanks for suggesting them, they were terrific.

Yours faithfully

Ann Gibson
PA to Mrs Bellinger

 

 

Dear Tribute Entertainment

I thought I would take the opportunity to write and thank you for your assistance in organising the entertainment for our event on Saturday 31st August. The advice you gave me prior to the event ensured that the night was a successful and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Peter Foster of Timewarp Disco was not only an excellent disc jockey who kept the dance floor full to capacity all night but his help and professionalism ensured that I had very little to worry about in regards to the entertainment. You'll be aware that we have already booked Peter for some up coming events and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else organising a function.

Mission Blue were quite simply outstanding. I have had nothing but praise for their performance from everyone who attended and I would gladly have them back again. I have never seen so many people on the dance floor and this was a testament not only to their singing talents but also to their performance as a whole.

I mention these two acts separately because I believe they are worthy of special note, however the Havana Boys were also very good, doing the hard job of entertaining us while we were eating and just settling in to the evening. Again, I have had many nice compliments about them. Both the Laser Clay Shoot and the Mechanical Surfboard went down a storm, especially with our younger members, and the operators were very professional throughout the night and into the small hours.

As event organiser, I have no doubt I have found a company I can trust to deliver the goods when and where they are required and in our 'world' that's something we respect. So I am absolutely sure we will be doing business again in the very near future.

Thanks once again !

This is a short thank you note for Elvis Presley (John E. Prescott).

I booked him for my wedding on Saturday 10th August. My name is Alison Campbell (now Alison Gormley) I would just like to say a big thank you for entertaining my guests. He was absolutely brilliant and I have to say gorgeous too and all my family wanted to take him home.

I am writing to thank you for your help in organising our Summer Ball on Friday 12th July. The Entertainment was nothing short of excellent. Your understanding of our needs during the function and advice that you gave me on the phone, enabled the evening to go extremely well.

The Avengers group were truly outstanding. The range of music and their delivery kept our members thoroughly entertained. The musicians played to a very high standard, especially the guitarist. The two lady vocalists added the finishing touches to an excellent performance.

The Martin Perry Roadshow was a superb choice for our disco. The visual effects and the professionalism shown during the night helped with the overall smooth running of the show. At no stage throughout the night was the dance floor empty.

Alistair Cook, the table magician was something that we had not considered before. What a difference he made to our members and guests while they were waiting to be called forward for the buffet. Another truly outstanding performer. One by one the tables were applauding and gasping with amazement.

The overall professionalism and excellence shown throughout the night by all the acts you provided made the evening one to be remembered. Once again, thank you for your help in organising the evening's entertainment.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your agency and in particular the above mentioned acts.

Yours sincerely

S. McVitie

Dear Tony

Further to our recent telephone conversation, may I take this opportunity to thank you and your company for all the entertainment supplied for the National Federation of Demolition Contractor's Annual Ball which was held at the St.Nicholas Hotel, Scarborough on Saturday 9th February.

The evening started with fun, frolic and Oompah from 'Karls Bavarian Oompah Band', prior to the evening meal and introduction of the National President and the Regional Chairmen.

We introduced the Queen look-a-like who amused and entertained the 245 guests by knighting the National President 'David Turner'. Our thanks should be extended to Elizabeth Richard for her professionalism as it was earlier that day that the country had heard of the death of Princess Margaret, after a long illness.

Everyone was upstanding for a minute's silence before the evening meal and grace was extended to everyone who attended and how their being in attendance has contributed to the raising of much needed monies for various charities.

The main attraction 'Koo Ka Choo' were absolutely brilliant. Their extravagant outfits, make-up and music from the 70's had everyone dancing and singing around the tables because the dance floor was full throughout their performance. The members of the band were very approachable before and after the function and after numerous encores they enjoyed themselves in the reception bar with the guests.

'Fantasia Disco' ended the entertainment with music from the 80's, 90's up to the present day chart hits. All the entertainment complimented each other and everyone left commenting on what a fantastic weekend they had.

Mr W.R. Wilson
Demex

 

Dear Tribute Entertainment

I am writing to you to thank you and the band members of Koo Ka Choo for the excellent evening we had on the 8th October here at the Swallow Hotel, South Normanton.

From the moment the band appeared they had the whole place dancing and singing to the classics of the 70's and since Friday night we have had an unbelievable response from almost every party that attended the function.

Perhaps though what made it particularly special was the interaction between the band and the guests whereby after the initial spot the numerous encores were carried out with a genuine will and desire to ensure that everybody left with great memories from a fabulous evening.

This then continued with the band members more than happy to pose for photos in their extravagant outfits and intermingling with the guests throughout the entire function.

I have had several requests already for details of the next date for a similar event and should it be appropriate I would be more than pleased to engage the services of Koo Ka Choo again.

I would be grateful if you could pass on our formal thanks to everybody in the band and I sincerely hope we have the pleasure of working with them again in the very near future.

Mr Ed Schofield
General Manager

 

 

Dear Tribute

A BIG THANK YOU !

I would like to thank you for your professional service and assistance in helping to choose such an excellent and varied group of entertainers for the Botel European Showcase.

As we discussed yesterday the feedback from our customers has been excellent, many said it was the best night out they have had for years.

Please pass on my immense thanks to all the acts that performed on Saturday.

I look forward to working with you again for any future events that Botel may organise.

Caroline Foreman
Marketing Manager

 

Dear John

Would you please pass our thanks onto the band for us, they were absolutely outstanding.

I don't think I ever stopped dancing when they were playing, they were brilliant and a good laugh too, they surpassed all our expectations.

All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their music and that they could have listened to them all night long. They certainly got people up on the dance floor.

Please tell the band we thought they were wonderful and sorry we didn't get a chance to say goodnight and thank you on the night. If I could have had my way they could have played all night.

Kind Regards

Catherine Hancock-Peat

 

Dear Tribute

I am writing to pass on the clubs thanks and my own for supplying an excellent group for the initial club opening function/Christmas party.

I must apologise for the lateness of this letter, being away for the function itself and then on a course during January.

I have only just recently reassumed my previous position and find myself disgusted that a letter of appreciation has not been sent sooner.

By all reports the evening was a great success, made so I am assured by the style and professionalism of the group supplied, especially with the lateness of the booking originally.

My time as President will be drawing to a close by late March, but you have my assurances that your agencies name and professionalism will be passed onto the new president for any future functions.

Once again, many thanks.

Mr Brian Drummond
Lincoln

 

You certainly made my job very easy. Everything was organised with the minimum of fuss and a couple of phone calls. Tribute Entertainment Agency will certainly be recommended to future ball committees and we look forward to using you again for next years ball.

Mr J. Swain
Essex

 

 

Thank you very much for supplying both of the acts, which were of the highest quality and represented excellent value for money.

I have received many calls of thanks from those that attended, citing it as one of the best functions they had ever been to and as such is a glowing testimony to the entertainment which was of the highest standard.

Mr S. Prowse
London

 

I would like to thank you for providing such outstanding entertainment for our Summer function.

It's often said that the function is only as good as the entertainment and I can honestly say we had an absolutely fantastic evening.

Mr M. Frizzell
Preston

 

 

Thank you for supplying the band for our function on 11th March this year.

With a power cut, a delay of nearly 2 hours and sharing the stage with other personnel, the band were professional throughout.

The entertainment was superb and just what we were looking for.

If you would like to give my details for recommendations, I would be more than happy to oblige. A most successful evenings entertainment, I look forward to working with you again.

Mr John Camilleri
Cardiff

 

 

Dear Tony & John

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the assistance and help you have given me over the past 6 months.

Your recommendations and experience in selecting just the right band or solo artist for our varied entertainment programme made the advance planning so much easier.

This in turn produced a 100% success rate on every function.

I would without hesitation highly recommend any of the artists that you supplied for our varied functions, they all had one thing in common, their professionalism and excellent value for money. They were all professional on stage and friendly and approachable off stage.

The one function that will stick out in my mind over the past 6 months was the 'Meat Loaf' tribute. I have seen 'Meat Loaf' twice in concert and this guy made it a hat trick. If you closed your eyes it was 'Meat Loaf' on stage. He both sounded the part and looked the part, what an excellent night.

Once again, thank you for your help and assistance and most of all your friendly way of doing business.

Mr Nigel Robinson
Hull

 

 

The show was absolutely excellent and provided in a totally professional manner with a high degree of flexibility which is always appreciated by the organisers. The largest compliment I can give is that the dance floor was packed from start to finish.

Mr K. Forrest
Leicester

 

Dear John

I am writing to inform you of the outstanding performance of Koo Ka Choo on Thursday.

The guys were both professional and friendly, showing enthusiasm and spirit. Their performance was fantastic, interaction with customers brilliant and equipment, lights - excellent.

I would very much like for the guys to come back and will contact you in due course.

The evening was a great success and will you pass on my fondest wishes to a great band.

Thank you and your agency.

Gail O'Leary
Berkshire

On behalf of all our members I would like to thank you for all of the fantastic entertainment that you have provided over the past six months.

The Blues Bros were an absolute knockout for the Gangster and Molls night held back in October. They got the whole audience rocking and filled the dance floor, they are a truly professional band and I would recommend them to anyone.

The next act was the Soul band Axis, again booked on your recommendation and again they did not disappoint our members. They were absolutely fantastic and even though I was not expecting the size of equipment that they had, they fitted into our small function room well.

I would like to thank you for your professional and determined effort to make every function that I have organised a success. I will recommend you and your agency to my successor.
