Dear Annie,

I was really happy with the singers. Stephen did a great job and sang his solo beautifully.

Emma was gorgeous in 'Underneath the mango tree' .
Everyone was really happy with the show...especially Lucy Fleming who waxed lyrical about the music!

Thanks again for organising such a great group.

Much love

Re Jerry Herman's Broadway concert, London Palladium


Annie,

I would have written you a thank you note sooner, but have been dashing all over the map with other concerts. Your group, as usual, were the best. It is a pleasure to work with you any time. The Charity was very pleased with the amount of funds that were raised over the cost of the concert.

Let's hope there will be other dates we can do together.
Best wishes and continued success.

Hello Annie

Thanks for this. It was a pleasure working with you. I have received many compliments from players too which is great.

Please pass my appreciation to all the singers if you are in touch with them again soon. I thought all your hard work and thought put into the whole presentation was really effective and very much more than what I had anticipated. Thank you.

I very much hope to work with you again soon, and will certainly keep you in mind as I formulate my plans.

Best wishes.

Re Christmas Show recording session


Dear Anne,

I felt compelled to just drop you a line to thank you so, so much for doing such a stunning job for me last week for the Christmas Show recording session.

You and all your team were not only excellent musically, but such lovely people and made a very long day enormously enjoyable. It is no surprise to me that you are as busy and as successful as you are. I know that some of the material was quite challenging, but did not cause you or your team any problems, which was most impressive.

Although I knew most of the singers I still felt that under your stewardship we achieved the best possible results.

Thanks again Anne and I look forward to working with you again soon.

Best Wishes

Many, many thanks to everybody for the huge effort that went into what I think all would agree was a spectacular show last Saturday at Temple Newsam.

The response from the audience and everyone during our stay in Leeds was fantastic, and I'm sure the programme will reflect the wonderful atmosphere.

A definite transmission date has not been scheduled as yet, however we'll do our best to inform you once it's been confirmed.

Hope to see you again before too long and thank you again for all your hard work.

Apologies for not being in touch before now, but we have been up to our eyes in millions of crotchets and quavers.!!

However, I wanted to thank you and your team for such beautiful performances on the 4 songs. I had copies sent to me on Saturday last, and have only just had chance to listen. If you wish, I will get Charlie or Julian to send you a half dozen copies for your files and distribution to the other lads and lasses. I was overjoyed by your work, and hope to see you all again on the cast album.

In the meantime, keep well, and hope to hear from you sometime.

Love and best wishes,

Re 'Audi Celebrates with Elaine Paige'

Dear Annie,

Lovely, lovely, lovely - thank you.

'Audi Celebrates with Elaine Paige' was a huge success, the clients had a lovely time and went away very happy and impressed with what was achieved. It was truly a glittering evening.

One day shows with little rehearsal time are always hard to produce with a satisfactory gloss finish. It is always down to the professionalism of the team putting it on. This show had gloss by the gallon and that is thanks to you for all the hard work you invested in the show. The fact that such a high quality product was achieved with such calmness is a great tribute to your skills.

It was an immense pleasure working with you and I look forward very much to having the opportunity of working together again.

With kind regards
