"For the Twinning evening - what you did - and the huge effort you put into the music and paperwork - was very much appreciated by those I spoke to. To have everything in both languages was amazing. When folk joined in with the songs I think that showed their interest and enjoyment. I watched Dominic Grieve on table 1 and he was filling in his sheet and appeared keen to participate."

"On behalf of the Little Marlow Village Amenities Committee and the residents of the Parish of Little Marlow, I would like to thank you, Mike Anderson, Karen Challis and Rob Shire for entertaining us so royally at the Little Marlow Diamond Jubilee Lunch on Sunday, 3rd June. You were brilliant! So many people came up to me on the day to say how much they were enjoying your playing and how pleased they were to have you there. Your choice of music was just right and really added to the atmosphere. I am sorry that it was so cold and wet, but thanks to you, the rain wasn't able to dampen our spirits. We are really grateful to you all for fitting us in to your busy schedule. Our Diamond Jubilee Lunch would not have been the success it was if you had not been there, so many, many thanks from us all".
