Mrs Barbarah F - Bride's mother (April'10) "...just a quick note to say how pleased we were with Mike and his playing last Saturday at our daughter's wedding reception. The weather was kind to us so we were able to have the drinks outside the marquee and it was a real delight to come out of the Church to hear Mike playing the classical guitar in the sunshine. His selection of music was excellent and just right for the occasion...many thanks."
