“Hi Clare, Just a quick note ( as I am bit 'tired and emotional' today!) to say how much we enjoyed the entertainment provided by Iain. The sets that Iain did, including his new Simply Red material, were really fabulous and greatly appreciated by all our friends. The great thing for me was how flexible he was and very friendly and accommodating. Iain also took lots of photos for us and even allowed some of our party to sing using his equipment. They were perfect for our evening and had our friends up and dancing for most of the time. If I can give them some positive publicity, please let me know and I'll do a review for you to use. I found your company very easy to work with and would not hesitate giving you very positive reviews. Kind regards Enid ”

“Iain Sparks transformation from Roy Orbison to Meat Loaf certainly made a few mouths drop in surprise. His Simply Red rendition was very authentic and most enjoyable particularly for anyone that is a Simply Red fan. The feedback from people concerning all the acts was very positive and I would say without fear of contradiction was enjoyed by the majority.”

“Hi Ian, Just a short note to say a big thanks for the gig you did for us last Friday, despite the power problems everyone throughly enjoyed it and it was a great evening. Your act was first class, attracted the biggest audience we’ve had this year! ... and I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone - Keep up the good work, Regards and good luck Neal The Kings Arms - Frating 15 Oct/2010”

“Iain morphed into the Big ‘O’ for his first set, and the resemblance was creepily close. I guess most of us were on the edges of our seats wondering if he was going to reach that first high note in his opener “Only The Lonely, and this he did with ease to good applause, at that point we settled down knowing the rest of the performance would be class. The 15 Orbison numbers sung that night included one of his last recordings with the Travelling Wilbury’s “You’re Not Alone Anymore,” but it was “Mean Woman Blues” with live harmonica which got the dancers to the floor. “Pretty Woman” had the audience hand-clapping and a yelpin’, but I was curious as to how Iain was going to handle “Crying” - another excellent version of an Orby classic and Iain actually played his guitar, not mimed as some tributes annoyingly do. Interestingly Iain mixed up the evening with some soul material, OK, not UK Rock fodder, but his treatment of some Ben E. King and Temptations material shows how diverse this Roy Orbison is. A very entertaining evening with a warm bond between the audience and entertainer. Ken Major - UK Rock Magazine (December 2010 issue) ”

“Hi Iain, We cannot thank you enough for making Saturday the most wonderful evening, not only for dad, but for all our guests. Your performance as Roy Orbison was incredible and we were delighted that you performed some songs as yourself as well. Thank you for the attachments, mum also told me yesterday that you are going to be appearing at a theatre in Kent soon so we are looking forward to seeing you again there....she is enquiring about tickets this week! Thank you really doesn't seem enough, but truly, thank you for making dad's 60th birthday party such a huge success. Very best regards from the whole family. Lynne ”
