Feedback

Wedding Ceilidh, Kettlewell, December 2008
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our wedding so special. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed it.


 




Sailing Wedding, Bridlington, October, 2008
Dear Terry and T'Owd Lads,
Thanks very much for a fantastic evening when you played for us at our wedding. Many of our guests have passed comment on what a fun event it was. We would have no hesitation in recommending you and hope to hear you play again.



Military Wedding ceilidh, Wensley, July 2008

Dear Terry,  A belated "Thank you and the Lads" for playing at my daughter's wedding - Wensley 26th July - and helping to make it such a very enjoyable occasion.

 

 
 
 
 
 
30th Anniversary Ceilidh, Tapton, August 2008
 
Dear Terry,
Most, but not all, of our guests have departed back to whence they came;
 
Anyway, you, and your merry band of minstrels, were, as ever, most excellent, and my wife is busy looking through next years diary to pencil in a few possible dates.
Looks like this might be an annual event, everybody enjoyed the ceilidh, everybody wants to come back next year, everybody wants Paraffin Ceilidhs to "officiate".
So that is that then, except that the brother of one of the girls that works for me is getting married and was at our ceilidh. She is working on her mum & dad right now to try to get you a booking. Mum & dad aren't quite so sure, they always believed their daughter had two left feet and can't come to terms with their daughter being so enthused about a dance!
 
So, again, thank you ever so much for a wonderful time and the strenuous effort that you all put in to make our 30th Wedding Anniversary so memorable.
Your caller has the patience of a Saint!!
 

Hull City Hall, August 2008,
I had to write to thank you for the energetic and entertaining music you provided for our wedding. I was choked up walking down the aisle to the (piano) piece you played specially at my request and every guest smiled all evening through our lively barn dance. It was so much fun and got everybody feeling included. Thank you.
 

RAF Wittering Burns Supper, January, 2008
Dear Terry
 I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Friday night.  I know everyone had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  I hope everything was to your satisfaction.
 Especially big thank you for your patience as some of the dancers (primarily me!) were a bit slower at picking up the routines than others!
 Many thanks again.

Scottish Wedding, Tapton, November 2007
Dear Terry,
It is 8.30pm on Sunday evening, and the last guest has just decided to go home!!
A huge amount of food and drink was consumed, but the only thing people have talked about was "The Ceilidh"; everybody, just everybody, thought it was just brilliant.
We all thought you were marvellous, and cannot thank you enough. Personally, I had a wonderful time, but today I feel like I have been tossed by a bull; which is an occupational hazard that I have experienced more than once. I have got aching muscles where I didn't know I had muscles.
Rest assured we shall recommend you to everybody with even the slightest interest in this kind of celebration; we cannot thank you enough for making our party go with such a swing.
 
Wishing you all the best for now and the future, and we hope to see you again soon.
 

 
Wedding Ceilidh, Bagden Hall, October, 2007
Terry

We'd just like to offer our thanks for the fantastic
performance at our wedding on Saturday night. For you
to come at such short notice was great and we know
that everybody really enjoyed the dance - even if the
majority of people were rubbish at it!! ha ha

Many, many thanks
 

 
Irish Ceilidh, Guildhall, York, October, 2007
Dear Terry,
Thank you so much for last night, you were all wonderful & it was much appreciated. Reports back have been very favourable from those who attended (& naturally the organisers).
Based on your performance we would be grateful if you would do us the honour of coming on March 17th 2008
 

 
Bikers Rally Ceilidh, Gisburn, October 2007
Terry, The feedback from the majority was that the whole weekend was a success, and the dancing in particular. You all worked hard! Thankyou. I will keep you on my list for the future.
 

 
Birthday Barn Dance, Armthorpe, September, 2007
We had a great night on Saturday and I have had cards and messages saying thank you and how much they enjoyed the evening. So a big thank you to you all especially as I think you seemed to make the dances fit the age group. I shall certainly keep your details in my address book  for the future.
 
Our son-in-law, the American guy, has said he would like to have a Barn Dance at the Ranch where he and our daughter were married in California to celebrate their wedding anniversary what rate of mileage would that incurr.
 

 
Anniversary Ceilidh, Doncaster, July 7th 2007
It was a super evening, thank you very much for your contribution it really made the party!
 

  Wedding Ceilidh, Scissett, April 5th, 2007
 
Thanks Terry

Spot on

hope to see you again soon

Wedding Ceilidh, I was really worried until you helped us organise our dance.
 
Anniversary Ceilidh, We loved the music. I've now booked (our wedding) and would love to have Paraffin Ceilidhs lead us in a barn dance on the day!

Anniversary Barn Dance, Nottingham, March, 2007; "We were going to have a holiday to celebrate our anniversary but we decided to have a party and a barn dance instead. It has been a really good night."

Birthday Barn Dance, Rotherham;  "It was exactly what we wanted."

Many thanks to you and your splendid team at last nights Ceilidh.
Feedback is very positive. Everyone enjoyed the live music, the atmosphere, some dancing, some watching. Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to you personally before you left last night. I think I had my head stuck in a big mushy pea pan, cleaning it out.
Thanks again.
Hope to do a repeat performance next year.
 
Kind regards

Burns Supper RAF Cranwell January 26th, 2007
