Thank you for Saturday, Kate and Michael said when they returned from church it was just idyllic to hear you playing."

"Hi Mike,
Thank you for your e-mail. Everyone commented on how great our event was last week and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the band.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending your band 100% to anyone else."

"Down for the Count provided a jazz trio for the PTA summer ball at Phil and Jim's primary school in Oxford in July 2007. the band were enormously helpful in discussing what we needed beforehand. They arrived in good time, brought everything they needed and set up with no fuss. They looked the part, the music was fantastic, and they created just the atmosphere we were looking for. We would heartily recommend them and will certainly use them again."
Emma Hawksworth, St. Philip and St. James' Primary School, Oxford, July 2007
"So sorry that it has taken us an age to say our thanks to you for adding so much to the atmosphere and enjoyment of our party on 7th October. We loved your music, you looked good and indeed were a wonderful addition to the scene. Many of our friends have made similar comments to us and hopefullly one day in the not too distant future there will be another party and we can enjoy dancing to your music as opposed to listening or talking over you. Good Luck to you all."
Kay Westwell, Ruby wedding party, St Michael's Manor, St Albans

"A trio of piano, bass and saxophone from the Jazz & Soul Band played at my 60th birthday party in July this year and they were excellent entertainment. The quality of the playing and the choice of music was top class. Many people at the party commented on how much they enjoyed the music. I would certainly recommend this band for any function - they were great!"
Carol Paterson, 60th Birthday Party, July 2006
"Thank you so much for being such a wonderful accompaniment to a great 18th birthday party last night - Jazz by the riverside! A memorable occasion, not least for the music. As well as providing a splendid musical backdrop to the two Katie's joint 18th party, Down for the Count are now on video as the ambiental music to a scene of punters and their punts (and guests) going up the Isis, reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited! We'll give you a copy of the DVD!
Thanks again for making the evening such a success."
Mary Birtill and Judy Jackson, 18th Birthday Party, June 2005
"Just a quick note to say thank you for playing at the Ladies trial cocktail party last night. Sorry it was all rather hectic, however several of the ladies commented on your beautiful playing and the nice atmosphere your music created. Hopefully in September you will get to sample the full cocktail quota!"
Catherine Chettle, Charndon Community Association
"Thank you for entertaining us so wonderfully at our recent 'Cocktail and Jazz Evening'. Your music created the perfect atmosphere for our event. People are still commenting on how much they enjoyed the evening, and many people have expressed an interest in having you play for their own private parties etc. We hope to arrange a similar evening next year and would be delighted if you would return to provide the entertainment.
Once again many thanks."
