Hi Peter,

Thank so much! Everything went very well in everyone's opinion. Best ever SAMs is the word on the street. I think your clan did one outstanding job!

I of course don't yet know what next year's show is going to look like. I would certainly ask you to keep the date open for us as first refusal!

I will be issuing a more formal letter soon. Feel free to use me for reference.

Hello,

My husband and I had the great privilege of listening to yourself and your band at a Christmas function this past December. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

We would love to hear, sing and dance with you again, and were wondering whether you play at any open venues, bars, lounges, etc. or whether you play strictly for private functions. If you wouldn't mind dropping me a line to let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hello Peter,

I just wanted to let you know that we were more than happy to have you play at our wedding. You were right, it was magical. Everyone is commenting on how much they loved the music. Thank you for including the East Coast vibe to your repretoire. And "Truly" (by Lionel Richie) was perfect, thank you. Jason and I can't wait to see the video of the night. Thanks again, and let us know if you're ever playing in Toronto. Talk to you soon,

Livin' In Swing

You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!

It really made the wedding. Everyone loved the music and the personality of the band. I loved how you had people dancing all night long! The musicians were extremely talented. Your repertoire is huge and your really had your finger on the pulse of what I wanted.

And I even heard it was my mother that asked for the chicken dance and you stuck to your guns and refused to play it. Thankyou!

I feel that the band really made the wedding and I am so glad that we picked you.

Thanks again, I will recommend you to anyone that asks.

P.S. If you ever need to rent skis don't forget to give me a call.

It all went very well. Peter is a dynamic individual with a wonderful spirit and enthusiasm for what he does. I would recommend Fuze and Peter to anyone in the future. He manages his band members well and we actually think that we will want to use him for future parties as our guests said they felt that this was the best wedding/reception that they had ever attended.

Please thank Peter for me, in fact, thank Peter for all of us. He is absolutely precious.

Lastly, working with you has been a pleasure. You are punctual and prepared and I appreciate that greatly. I look forward to the next time we work together.

Dear Peter Robinson,

We had tremendous fun at our seasonal party this year. The entertainment was phenomenal on all levels. Barry Shaw captivated our guests with his voice and sense of fun, the dance instructors were a huge success as they brought guests onto the floor to learn new and exciting moves, and IDezire was both memorable and delightfully entertaining as they also engaged the guests to dance and overall – enjoy themselves!

We had received many compliments on the entertainment that we booked. We thank you for a job well done, and perhaps, we may be able to book you again for another event!

Regards,

Hi Peter,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I have been meaning to e-mail you! Thank you so very much for playing at my wedding. Nick and I had a great time as well as our guests. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you for all the work you did on the day of and the days leading up to it. I knew I could count on you! I hope you enjoyed the dinner and sorry I couldn't sit you in the same room as me, space was really tight.

The music choices was amazing and your band members are really great! So many people said that Nick and I should throw a party like that on a regular basis.

I do want to thank you in person and take you out for dinner sometime soon. Nick and I have been busy with trying to get our condo settled and un-packed. We did take a few days and went to Lake Louise and Kelowna.

Let me know when you're free to get together! I will be writing you a testimonial for your website to thank you formally and thank you so very much!

Re: Dueling Piano Show in Whistler

**********************************

Peter,

Wow! We have to say, you put together an incredibly talented group of musicians that electrified the night’s gathering. Every musician was so professional and talented. Who wouldn’t fall in love with the silky voice of Barry (not to mention the full package). Bobby and Al were a wonderful way to kick it up a notch! The mix of music was outstanding! Marianna and Bernis started the night off beautifully. It took a while to get the crowd to go downstairs, but when they did, they were blown away (at least that is the excuse we are using for the dance moves)! We have had so many friends thank us for a wonderful night and with every thank you comes a comment on how incredible Livin’ in Swing is! Electrifying…

Thank you. We are definitely out of hibernation!

Peter, we hope you had a wonderful birthday and we look forward to seeing and dancing with you again.

P.S. Bobby and Al – forget the catering business, stick with the singing. You guys are true entertainers.

Cheers,

Linda and Dave

Hello, Peter!

I cannot stop giving you praise!! Your new website is OUTSTANDING!!! I remember you told me that you were renewing your website.. I just visited your livinginswing website and it was AMAZING!!! I love it. I listened to your song and also watched some videos. While listening to your band music, I remember the time I truly enjoyed it at the Banff Springs (although it was very short).

I really really want to go to your concert!! I feel that I cannot wait!!!

I have two days off every week, but my days off are mostly not together and I often stay in Banff recently.

I think that I am going to Calgary next Thursday. If you have a spare time during day, I would like to go for coffee.

I imagine how busy you are! You have such a beautiful talent to make people entertained and feel warm inside!

Spring has arrived finally! We have warm and fantastic days here in Banff too.

I hope that you enjoy beautiful spring days with your great music!

Looking forward to a new opportunity to join your concert and/or meet you.

Sincerely,

Ami
