ENTERTAINERS

What a really truly fabulous concert we had on Friday night!  It was brilliant and better than I’d even expected.  Congratulations on putting together such great performers in such a super programme, and congratulations to them also.  Great programme of music, the sound was great (actually a little loud but very clear) and The Drifters really were a great addition.  What with the weather it was all in all an amazing evening.... Thank you again for bringing us such a great show, and Paul and I look forward to talking to you about next year…. Soon!! ... All best wishes. Amanda Sharp ~ Chichester Festivities

"Dear Michael, I write to thank you and everyone at Entertainers, for the fabulous "Concert in the Park" held a at West Park, Macclesfield on that very wet Saturday 19th August 2006. Your show was simply magnificent....the response we have had to the concert thus far indicates that The Beatles & Blondie were the definate highlights of the show... I will be in touch soon to start planning our 2007 Concert in the Park...Once again many thanks for the best show, from the best agency around. Bill North - Service Manager Leisure (Community & Wellbeing)

"Dear Mr. Taylor, I write to thank you and everyone at Entertainers for the wonderful 'Concert in The Park' event held at West Park, Macclesfield on Saturday 20th August 2005. Your show is magnificent and a credit to you and all involved at Entertainers.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your staff, a really professional set of people, you must be very proud of them. The Show is a real feel good tonic for all who attended and ticks all the right boxes for what we should all be trying to achieve for our communities.What was of particular pleasure for myself was meeting you, a real genuine pleasure. Bill North ~ Head of Service (Leisure - Borough of Macclesfield)

"Dear Mike, We have just finished putting the festival to bed (two days ago) and I wanted to write and thank you for once again bringing us a superb concert on 2nd July at Goodwood. It was such a great evening and the bands were really terrific. And what an incredible sight to see people so happy and with beaming smiles on their faces all evening! Please pass on my sincere thanks to them for the wonderful time they gave us all.

We were also so impressed with Martin’s brilliance on the sound – he seems to have addressed all the difficulties of the venue to perfection, and to receive no complaints at all is quite remarkable.

Paul and I are very grateful to you for all your help and support in making the event the success it was, and we look forward to working with you once again on another super evening (maybe two?) in July 2005. Thank you again Mike and with all good wishes."Amanda Sharp, Director, Chichester Festivities

"Dear Sir/Madam,I would like to thank you for your attendance at this year’s Arnold Carnival. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, but I’m sure you will agree, we all tried to make the event a success. The feedback I have had so far has been very positive with everyone commenting on the very high standard of the entertainment provided. I will shortly be starting to plan next year’s event, which hopefully will be the weekend of the 18th and 19th June 2005, as yet I am not sure what format show will take. Many Thanks again for your hard work and I look forward to speaking to you next year. "Lorraine K Brown, Assistant Resources Officer, Gelding Leisure

"Dear Mamma Mia, On behalf of Liz Hobbs Group Ltd and Epsom Downs Racecourse we would like to thank you for all your hard work at The Oaks Derby meeting. The whole entertainment package was deemed a success and we appreciate all your efforts on the day. Thankfully, the weather held for a fine Derby Day and the atmosphere was memorable. We hope that you enjoyed the weekend and if you did have a bet on the big race that you came away better off. We all look forward to seeing and working with you again in the future" Liz Hobbs MBE, CEO

"Dear Mrs Tucker, I write to thank you for providing the services of “Kings of Queen” tribute band at our Ball at Culzean Castle on Saturday 22nd May. The Band members were professional, courteous and prompt in setting up which contributed to a very successful event. The feed back from the audience on their twp-set performance has been positively glowing and I would be delighted to book them again should the opportunity arise! I would be grateful if you would pass on my sincere thanks to the band who made an excellent contribution to a most successful event and put the ‘wow’ factor into the Gannet SAR Ball" Mark G Deller, Lieutenant Commander, Royal Navy

"Dear Mr Taylor, What a fantastic show! The Abba Magic show was absolutely fantastic and the people taking part were extremely friendly and put on a superb event. I am sure you will have had feedback by now that the whole event was a huge success with an estimated audience of possibly 2,000 people. As you are aware this was a free open-air event, the weather was glorious through the day and despite a few showers in the evening, people stayed to watch Abba. They all worked extremely hard and were extremely professional, the audience loved them and they performed several encores. Please pass on my thanks to everyone who took part for a superb show." Mary Wile, Art & Events Office, Gelding Leisure

"Dear Mike, This is a belated letter to say a big ‘Thank You’ for bringing us such a great concert on 4th July. The performers were almost better than the artists they were paying tribute to and the result was a slick and thoroughly professional show. As you know a tribute band concert at Goodwood Racecourse was something new for us and I can only say that Mamma Mia proved a really terrific opening to this year’s Chichester Festivities. I am enclosing a press review from the Chichester Observer which really says it all. Basically, it went down a storm! I would like to say a special thank you also to Martin Spooner who did a fantastic job with the sound. Prior to the event we had highlighted the difficulties of amplification at this venue where we have often had difficulties in the past. I can honestly say that none of these manifested themselves thanks to Martin’s experience expertise. Please keep in touch with us about forthcoming shows and I very much hope we can meet soon to discuss how we can work together again next July. Very many thanks once again and with all good wishes."
Amanda Sharp, Director, Chichester Festivities

Mamma Mia! Music and Fireworks Concert, Goodwood Racecourse...“ You’ve got to hand it to those tribute bands, they certainly get the party started. Right from the off - before some of us had even laid out our picnics- whole families were up dancing to a batch of catchy 70s hits. And there was no time to fret over peaking too early. With no Red Arrows display this year, and no carnival parade, there was nothing for it but to hit the dance floor- and stay there all night. The organisers knew just what would work with this good-time crowd, and they were right. His hair may not have been big or golden enough to properly pull off a Barry Gibb, but the lead singer of Bee Gees Magic somehow had everyone screaming and doing their best John Travolta impressions for Night Fever. There was near hysteria by the time Rock Around Grease appeared, with grannies and teenagers alike imaging themselves Danny and Sandy. And headline act Abba Magic were given a huge reception for their medley of hits from Jive Talkin’ to Dancing Queen, even if ‘Bjorn’ looked like a cross between Elton John and Ozzy Osbourne. All the bands played with the right amount of professionalism and playing-it-for-laughs, but the real stars of the night were still to come. My Mamma Mia's were more for the absolutely awe-inspiring fireworks in the sky over Goodwood than for anything that had gone on on stage” Sue Gilson Chichester Observer Series

"Dear Leu, Belated thanks to you for negotiating us through extremely successful evening. Our function was not a large assignment for your Agency, and at time must have despaired over naive questions and requests thrown at you by us over the past 9 months, however, at no time did we feel that our function was not important to you and your agency. Your recommendations of artists were spot on and we once again thank you for the friendly professional way our function was conducted."Michael Box, ‘Spindrift’

Dear Leu, I would like to take this opportunity of saying how much the guests enjoyed the duet “Essence”. They are very talented and suited the occasion perfectly. Also, I would like to thank Sparxx Disco who gauged the audience very well and was most professional. I would be pleased to recommend Essence or Sparxx to any prospective clients. Thank you for your assistance."
Stephanie Nunn, Civic Officer, The Parlour, Newham Town Hall

"Dear Eddie, Thank you for a wonderful show last night it was a brilliant start to the festival and your company created the perfect party atmosphere we were looking for. Please pass on our thanks everyone involved." Ian Alexandra, Theatre Director, Cannizaro Park Festival

"Dear Mr Taylor, I am just writing this short letter to let you know that I really enjoyed the “Mamma Mia!” show when it cam to the open-air concert at Cannizaro Park in Wimbledon last Sunday night. I have seen the “Mamma Mia!” show before, when it played at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon last November- a brilliant show. Above all, I just want to say how very impressed I was with ABBA Magic and Bee gees Magic - they were absolutely great acts. I have been a truly devoted fan for 15 solid years and I am also a Bees Gees fan as well, so the songs and the costumes were excellent, and the main thing is that your two bands make everyone enjoy themselves. I have seen numerous ABBA tribute bands in recent years, but I must rank ABBA Magic up there at the top. I just love the way that Emma and Anna deliver the great ABBA songs with their gorgeous smiles, and the rest of the musicians and dancers who have worked hard to make us happy- Keep up the good work!!!! Finally, I just want to let you know that I will hopefully be seeing the “Mamma Mia!” show again when it comes to Wimbledon Theatre in October. Thanking you once again" Mike G Mc Dermott

"Dear Michael, I know we spoke earlier today but I really wanted to write and say how very much we all enjoyed last night’s performance in Windsor; marvellous music, an extremely polished performance by all of the artists and first class seats- what more could anyone ask for!" Nicola S Reardon, Director, SN2R

Dear Mike, I would like to thank you for all your help on the entertainment for our party held on Saturday 25th January at the Renaissance Heathrow Hotel. The evening was fantastic everyone had a wonderful time. Everyone was very impressed with the magician, he did a wonderful job during our pre-dinner drinks and dinner, having the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s band after dinner was absolutely fantastic, everyone was up and dancing from the time they came onto the stage until the time they went off. James our DJ, did a wonderful job in coordinating the raffle introductions and keeping things in their running order. Thank you for your help in making our evening a great success. I look forward to working with you on our next party. Thank you once again" Christine Green, Executive Assistant, Airspan

"Dear Ms Tucker, May I say how pleased I was with the way our Tenth Anniversary Dinner at Guildhall went last night. Dragonsfire played beautifully and looked wonderful. They really helped to make the evening memorable and I am very grateful; to you for all your help with the arrangements." Geoffrey Turner, Chief Executive, Securities Institute

"Dear Mr Taylor, I am writing to congratulate you on the Mamma Mia! show touring this year. I first saw it at the Orchard Theatre in my hometown in June with my husband and sister and we loved it! In fact, we enjoyed it so much we saw it again just last week in Gravesend and brought my mum and my other sister along with us. They had a great night too. We all agreed that although all the acts were very good, Bee gees Magic stole the show. They got the audience going and seemed like they were really enjoying themselves on stage." Mrs R Modica

"Dear Abba Magic, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent performance in the marquee on the 14th July, which go the Carnival Weekend off to a tremendous start. The feedback has been superb and the compliments have been flowing in. In fact, the whole event was a wonderful success and Eva and I would like to thank you for your participation."
Wendy Marshall, ECE

"Dear Michael, Just a note to thank you for providing the band, DJ and compere for our event. The whole evening was a great success and the feedback from our staff is that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The band was excellent and I would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to Eddie, the DJ, for his co-operation and also Alan Wallace, for managing to ‘pitch’ the evening at the right level, balancing the humour with the seriousness of the occasion."Toni Cocozza, Managing Director, DP Connect Limited

" Dear Mike, I know we have already spoken this morning, but words are seriously inadequate as a way to express thanks, but even more inappropriate would have been not to write. The entertainment you arranged for us was absolutely sensational, not simply from the music content point of view, which perhaps one could be forgiven for taking for granted, but the individuals involved for their genuine warmth, enthusiasm and attitude. Nothing was too much trouble for them and this made a real difference. It does not seem fair to single people out, but the sound company worked so hard with no doubt a less then ideal environment. The installation was fantastic, they created a phenomenal sound and adjusted volumes such that every time everyone loved what they heard. At 4.00 a.m. they were still good humoured enough to, not only be clearing up their own efforts in a spotless manner, but offering to help with others- they are very lovely people. The bands put their heart and souls into the evening and without a doubt the birthday girl and her guests had a night they will never forget. On behalf of 110 people, thank you so much." J.C. Chapman & Phil Dunmore

"Dear Sir/ Madam, On behalf of the staff and Social Club at Tesco Kingston, I would like to thank you and the ‘Abba Magic’ band for their performance at our Christmas party. In particular we enjoyed the atmosphere the band created by encouraging people to join in and the hilarious introduction of songs…’Chicken Tikka’ alias ‘ Chiquitita’. We look forward to working with you in the future."Peter Kingham, Treasurer, KSC

"Dear Agency, Thank you so much for providing our audience with such pleasure last weekend. The Bee Gees were a big hit and Queen made a welcome return with great aplomb. Many thanks again and congratulate all the artistes-they were terrific and everyone of the 4,000 people enjoyed themselves in spite of the huge downpour during the evening!" Margaret Powell, Director, CP

"Leu, Many thanks for your help in making our Shrigley Hall event a great success. The acts provided were superb, and your organisation was faultless. You will hear from us again!" Damon, PriceWaterHouseCoopers

"Dear Mike, I just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with the entertainment you provided for Toshiba’s annual dinner and dance at the Renaissance Hotel last Saturday. The music was superb and both the bands and the DJ had the dance floor full all night. Everyone had a truly superb time and several people said how authentic the Beatles sounded. Thank you again and I shall be in contact shortly to make arrangements for next year!" Alexandra Matcham, Events & Hospitality Executive, Toshiba

" Dear Mike, I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how well the Amadeus Party went on the 26th January. The entertainment you arranged for the evening went down really well. The Saxophonist really sounded great, the magicians were really impressive and got everyone in the party mood and I couldn’t believe when Abba Magic Band came on the stage how everyone just got up and danced immediately and didn’t stop all night! Please say a big thank you to everyone involved that night to make it all go so well, the DJ was brilliant as well and made sure once people started dancing they never wanted to stop. Thanks again Mike, and I look forward to using your company for the next party!" Janet Wheals, PA to Head of Human Resources, Amadeus

"Dear Leu, Well what can I say - the whole show along with the disco went down a storm. The comments I am receiving from all our staff, directors and guests is that this was the best party ever (this was our 10th!). So please pass on my thanks to all those who helped make this memorable evening." Lindsay Skorka, PA to the Chief Executive, Caledonian Airways

"Dear Lou, Just a short note to thank you for all your organisation with Abba Magic at the BMW 3 Series Launch last week. The band’s performance at both shows was superb. The audience absolutely loved them, and our client was thrilled. Lou, I hope we will be able to work with you again in the near future, and please pass our congratulations on to the band." Sarah Elliott, Flying Colours Communications Limited

"Dear Lou, Just a note to say how impressed both the clients and I were with “The Other Beatles” on Saturday night at The Heathrow London Marriott. Their set was pitched perfectly and they played to a packed dance floor throughout the one and a half hours. I would have every confidence in booking them again for other events and do hope I have the opportunity to do so."
Jo Teague, Events Manager, Prestige Promotions

"Dear Mike, Thank you very much for providing the Toastmaster, Table Magician, Disco, Function Band, Cabaret, sound and lights for the long service dinner and dance.

I will, in future, be recommending your services to other companies. Thank you once again." Mrs J H Harper, On behalf of Ford Motor Company

Their music appealed to everyone, from the Junior staff right through to the Senior Management. "
J McAllister, Administration Manager, Tarmac Laing Joint venture
