Hi Mike, Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye or thank you the other Saturday, but as I am sure you can appreciate it was a bit of a whirlwind. I just want to drop you a quick note to say how fantastic you and the band were, everyone has been raving about what a great night it was and how much fun the dancing was, in fact the only complaint was from my sister who had to sit a dance out because the hall wasn't big enough!! I have also had feedback from the hall that the neighbours didn't hear a thing and were able to go to bed at 10pm which is great news. I'm so pleased we booked you it was everything we hoped for and helped make it a truly special night.
Shelley & Nick Gent, Wedding, Compton Acres
Dear Mike, We just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all the band members that played for our wedding on 31st July at Compton Acres. The barn dancing was brilliant fun, enjoyed by all ages and we've received so many comments from guests who enjoyed it. The band played a perfect rendition of McGuillycuddy's for our first dance - an event everyone particularly enjoyed, especially with our own attempt at the choreography! They were extremely accommodating (even inviting one of my guests who's a violinist to play along!) and fantastic musicians so please do pass on our compliments and thanks. It was a great highlight to a perfect day.
Miriam and Jody, Barn Dance

Anna and Andrew, Wedding, Brockhurst
Dear Mike and the Woodsiders, We returned from honeymoon last Wednesday and wanted to get in touch to say a huge thank you to the band who played at our wedding on 17th July at Brockhurst School. Caller Mike was fantastic and the musicians tremendous. Lots of our guests have commented on how much fun the dancing was and you only have to look at some of the photos to see how much people enjoyed it! We hope we'll be able to think up another excuse for a ceilidh/barn dance in the future and would have absolutely no hesitation in booking the Woodsiders again.
