I can't tell
you how thrilled I was . . . The Mermaids were perfect for their
function. The Dee Bar at the Town Hall was a difficult space - tight,
with a very low ceiling and I had my fingers crossed. The girls were
absolutely fabulous and everyone had a great time. In saying they were
right for that function, I can't really think of a function they would
NOT be right for.

I just wanted
to let you know how impressed we were. Everyone thought you were
fantastic and people were up dancing until the end of the night. We
couldn't have been happier with how it turned out.

Many
thanks for performing at our wedding in the Bay of Islands. We've had
so many comments about how great the music was from guests (and hotel
staff).

Thanks for
the great show on sat 12th at Allan and Lisa's wedding reception at the
Hyatt. You were the best live performance we have ever seen. We are
still raving about it to others.
