I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the other 2 guys for the session you did for us on Thursday afternoon last week. It was really good and the children had a fab time, you were all great with the young people and you gave the children a really positive experience with all of the instruments. I hope to be able to arrange another session very soon."
