On behalf of the Ellenvale Singers and myself may I express our heartfelt thanks for the contribution that the
Jaguar (Coventry) Band made to a very successful evening last Wednesday. The performance was superb and it
is easy to understand why the band has enjoyed so much success in recent years. From my point of view every
aspect right from our initial dialogue through the final performance was carried out in a very professional manner.
Feedback that we have had from people in the audience was very positive in so much as thay all enjoyed it very
much and were very complimentary towards the band and the selection of music that was played. Please convey
our sincere thanks to Dave Lea and your excellent musicians. Once again many thanks.
Dave Richards, Ellenvale Singers

My wife and I enjoyed your Macmillan Prom yesterday. We loved the concert, your flugel solo especially. Just
noticed I'm almost echoing last year's appreciation, "4th March 2004 My wife and I saw the band at the Macmillan's
concert in Solihull last Friday at the Arts centre and had a fantastic time. It is so nice to see such professional
musicians put their talents for the good of others - well done keep up the good work! - G Fendick, Solihull" . We look
forward to watching your future events schedule.
Best wishes

I have organised a few band concerts in my time but never have I had so many people, including non brass band
fans, come up to me and say what a great evening's playing and entertainment. The band has certainly gained a lot
of friends and fans in Gloucester.
