"Dear Paul,

Nikki and I would like to thank you so much for the fantastic evening you gave us on the 12th June. You were all superb and we couldn't believe how brilliant you were. You kept us all dancing from start to finish, and ending on 'I Predict a Riot' was just perfect!!

Nikki and I would like to thank you all for being so kind, polite and willing to be part of the party. You looked as if you were having as much fun as we were and it made the evening very special.

Please pass on Nikki and my thanks to the rest of the band. We are truely thankful for the incredible evening of entertainment you gave us all. You all played brilliantly and your lead singer has the most beautiful voice.

We must think of an excuse for another party so that we can get you to play again!!

Thank you for making our wedding day a very special occasion to remember for ever.

Tom & Nikki.

"Hi Paul,

Please can you pass on a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the guys & girl of The Shack, they were BRILLIANT in both their musical ability and their all round attitude and really helped to make the night the success it was.

Everybody was raving about their performance the next day and I know one of our guests is considering using them for their wedding next year.

I would be happy to provide a reference for them in the future if required, and will definitely look to book them again should the need arise for a party band.

Thanks again,

Tony"

"Hi Paul,

Yes great honeymoon thanks!

We haven't got round to sending our thank you cards yet but we intended to forward one on to you as well as soon as we do!

We were absolutely delighted with the band and everyone who was there had nothing but praise for you all, they thought you were truly outstanding, an excellent and enjoyable evening had by all!

Everyone we spoke to echoed our sentiments and you are hugely talented and were consummate professionals on the night. (My male friends we're also appreciative of the good looking female singer!).

We wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending you or using you again in the future.

Good luck to you and the rest of the band for the future, you really ought to increase your prices!!!

Thanks again.

Best Wishes,

Kevin & Vicky Davies"
