Hi
Mike, The
barn dance was not what we expected, it was much, much, much better!
We had people on the dance floor who would have never done a disco or
anything else remotely like it (including us two). The caller was
brilliant and really got people going, and the band were superb. So
many people said to us afterwards, "what a brilliant idea" - well,
it was, but you guys made it work! So thank you for your helping to
make what many of our guests said was the best wedding they had ever been
to! Saturday 3rd November 2007 with caller Mike Whitford:- Dear Mike I just wanted to write and thank you and your band for a great performance. I shall certainly be recommending you all. I have received many comments about the evening especially regarding your band and music, so thank you. Best regards Chris Sunday 28th October 2007 with caller Rob Haskell. Also Mike playing solo accordion :- Saturday 15th September 2007 with caller Barbara Garfath:- Dear Mike, Just a quick email to say thank you so much for providing such a fantastic Ceilidh at our wedding last Saturday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it - including us! It was great fun and we had many guests commenting throughout the night on how good you were. Thanks again to you and the rest of the band and your fabulous caller, Claire and Jon Saturday 8th September 2007 (Large Guide camp social) with caller Barbara Garfath:- Saturday 28th July 2007 with caller Mike Whitford:- Hi Mike, A very big "thank you" to you and the band for the dance on Saturday evening. So many people have said what a wonderful 'do' it was. "Just what a wedding party should be" was one comment. The fact that the dance floor was full for the majority of the evening just showed how much the guests enjoyed it. Please pass on my sincere thanks to Mike for all his hard work and I'm sorry I never said "au revoir" to you all right at the end, it was all a bit hectic! Kind regards from us all, Rob, Jane, Helen and Leigh Saturday 21st July 2007 with caller Mike Whitford:- Hello! Just a quick email to say a MASSIVE thank you for playing at our wedding - we, and all the other guests, had such a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the music and dancing. A lot of our guests thought it was the most fun and relaxed wedding they had been to, and the barn dance played a large part in that! Thanks again, we will definitely recommend you!!

Wendy Griffiths Chairman Pompey Puddleducks Sunday 27th May 2007 with caller Rob Haskell:- Hi Mike Just a line to thank everyone from the Woodsiders for giving us such a good time on Sunday.

Saturday 28th October 2006 with caller Mike Whitford:- Dear Mike & Boys, I would just like to say a big thank you for the wonderful entertainment you provided at Sarah & Nic's wedding on Saturday. It was fantastic and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. We have been receiving such wonderful comments about the evening and your performance and would just like to say again a big thank you for finishing off what was an absolutely fantastic day. It was so good to see so many people, young and old up on the dance floor having ago and very much appreciated that you did 'another' last dance or two, I think people could have carried on all night!

Saturday 7th October 2006 (evening) with caller Mike Whitford:- Hi
Mike, Just
wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you and your band for doing such a
great job at our wedding.
Everyone loved the dancing and my concern that the 'South Africans'
that were there who had never been to a barn dance before wouldn't dance
were definately not realised.
They danced more than most (even if it was pretty badly!). Many
thanks and kind regards, Justine Saturday 7th October 2006 (daytime) - Folk Music for Community Event:- Just a note to say a very big thank you for playing at the event on Saturday. I didn't get to spend as much time listening to you as I would have liked but what I did hear was great - I had many people come up and tell me how good you were. Thank you once again for coming along to the event. I hope you enjoyed it too.
Kind regards

Saturday 12th July 2003 with caller Mike Whitford:- Mike and Pals! Sorry this is so late, but Frances and I (also Roz and Paul) wanted to thank you so much for super music and fun at our daughter Roz's wedding on 12 July. We have been in a state of exhaustion since (also on a well-earned holiday), hence the delay, but we are so glad that we chose to have a barn dance and especially with the Woodsiders! Everyone enjoyed our day in Hamble at Victoria House so much, and many of the compliments have been about yourselves. It is really an excellent evening for family and friends of different ages and backgrounds, with nearly everyone getting involved and having a fling. We have been to many bd's over the years, but having chosen you "blind" from the internet - super website by the way - we would unhesitatingly say you are the best and would recommend you to anyone! Thanks again Regards Saturday 24th May 2003 with caller Mike Whitford:-

Although we were a bit short on numbers/dance partners everyone really enjoyed having a 'go'. They say you should never work with children or animals - it was a good job we didn't bring the family pets as well! Still it was good practice for any future 'schools' venue you may be asked to do! Your 'caller' was extremely patient with us all especially the children. Thanks very much! Saturday 3rd June 2002 at Shalden - Jubilee Celebration with caller Mike Whitford:-

From a wedding reception Barn Dance 24/02/01 From a wedding reception Barn Dance 13/01/01 at Beaulieu Woodsiders, We would like to send a big "Thank You" to you all for helping to make our wedding a most memorable occasion. It seems our guests really enjoyed themselves and we certainly did. You have so much patience! Perhaps you could let us know if you ever play at events open to the public - I'm sure we would have no problem in getting together a group of people who would love to do it all over again? Many thanks once again, |

From a wedding reception Barn Dance 05/05/00 at Sonning, Reading Hi Mike Phil and I would like to thank you very much for the excellent barn dance you provided for our wedding reception on 5th May. We and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - if proof is needed we have it in all the smiling faces from the photos ! The only complaint is that we were so busy enjoying ourselves that the time passed far too quickly ! Thank you so much for contributing to such a wonderful wedding. Kind Regards |
