Nice things barn dancers have said about D'Arcy Spice

And we didn't even have to pay them

   

 

Dear Keith

Thanks to everyone in D'Arcy Spice for your wonderful playing and calling at my 40th birthday - it was fabulous. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the band and the dancing - the whole evening flowed brilliantly.

I was particularly touched by the way you involved the children, who were having a ball. My 2-year-old daughter loved it, and was singing Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes all the way home.

Thanks again and best wishes for your future gigs

Lydia and Chris

 

Dear Keith and the D'arcy Spice gang

We'd just like to say how amazing you all were, and a massive 'thank you' for creating such a crowd pleasing, laughter inducing and generally knackering evening for our wedding day. I hadn't laughed so much in ages, and it was lovely to see everyone else in the wedding crowd with huge smiles on their faces.

We had so many comments on how great the day was, and what a fantastic way it was to end it with a barn dance. You were all so patient with us, and considered the fact that we were all novices and had been on the mulled wine prior to your arrival. The music was perfect and the calling easy to understand - so top marks to you all. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone of our friends thinking of getting married or having a birthday.

Again, a huge thank you for putting the best finishing touches to our wedding day.

Kindest regards
Geff and Melanie

 

Keith

Thank you very much for an excellent evening. You struck a perfect balance with the dances, and the band were great.

I will certainly recommend D'Arcy Spice to friends and colleagues in the future.

Best regards
Mike (41 Club)

 

To all of Darcy Spice,

We want to thank you all so much for entertaining us all so well on our wedding day on the 4th September.  Your music was fantastic!   Everyone had such a great time, and the dance floor was always full, the guests ever encouraged by the caller's enthusiasm.
 
I've never been so tired coming off the dance floor!   It was so nice to see all, young and old, having fun and stripping the willow (even my 99 year old grandmother was up there!).

We hope that you enjoyed playing for us. Our photographer took this photo of you, which we thought you might like to see.  I think it's a great one!!
Thank you again, for helping making our wedding day such a fun and memorable day!

All the best
Louise and Matt

 

Hello Keith

You and your team were just as I expected - Excellent.
I have had many nice comments about the night, especially how good the band were and how everyone just mingled in and danced. Family and friends all thoroughy enjoyed it.

Once again thanks very much for making it a memorable night, and please pass my thanks to the other band members for such a good job.

Regards
Stuart Watson

 

Keith,

Jane and I would like to send you and your colleagues our sincere thanks for a fantastic, fantastic evening last Saturday.  So many people have said how much they really enjoyed the band, music and dancing.

So, a massive, massive thank you - it was an absolutely great evening for us. Jane had a smashing birthday bash, which was in huge part thanks to you.

D'Arcy Spice forever!
David & Jane.

 

Dear Keith

A belated big thank-you for a really superb evening! Everything was so professional from start to finish, and we received numerous phone calls from guests saying what a great evening they had had, and how good the barn dance was. We would thoroughly recommend you.

Thanks for making the engagement party such a memorable time for us all.
You are welcome to put any comments in this letter on your website.

Thanks again
Stan and Jill

 

Dear Band

On behalf of Marianne, myself and our parents, I realy wanted to thank you all for the terrific evening you put on for our wedding.

We loved the music! Many of our guests commented on how wonderful you were. The music was varied and uplifting. The 'calling' was brilliant: clear and authorative but entirely lighthearted.

Our guests loved every moment of your playing. We guess that 75 percent stayed the entire evening, and that is testimony to your entertainment which was super.
Had you been playing the next morning, I think a few would still have danced.

Thank you so very much
Tom and Marianne

 

Dear Keith

I thought I would e-mail to say how much we enjoyed the music at my daughter's wedding last Saturday

D'Arcy Spice really made the evening for us. The music was well-played and there was a good mixture of fast and slower dances, interspersed with quieter music for the occasional rest.

I think nearly everybody joined in with the dancing, including my 87 year old mother who had a whale of a time!

Thank you all so very much for making the evening such a memorable one for all of us that day.

Kind regards
Louise

 

Hi

I just wanted to thank you all so, so much for a fantastic night! You were brilliant.
I had an absolutely fantastic 40th birthday, and I really can't thank you enough.

With very very best regards
Karen

 

I've been meaning to write to say how totally amazing Darcy Spice were at our wedding.  Everyone has commented on how good the band were, and how much they enjoyed the dancing.  They were absolutely perfect for reaching across the wide age range present and more and more people joined in as the evening progressed – with some truly impressive fast dancing.
 
Musically they were great - really infectious and melodious.

Do please pass on our heartfelt appreciation and please let them
know how many compliments they have received.

Best wishes
Helen & Tim

 

 

Dear Keith and D'Arcy Spice

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. The barndance was a huge success with everyone having great fun dancing, and that was mostly down to your professionalism.

We will definitely recommend you. Thank you so very, very much.
Lucy and John

 

Hi, Keith

Thank-you for a fantastic evening. Our wedding day was a bit like a fairytale and to see everyone so involved and having fun in the evening at the barn dance was the perfect ending... even if I didn't have a clue what I was doing half the time :)

Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band.

Tracey & Chris

 

Dear Barn Dance Band

Thanks for an absolutely top evening!  A huge amount of fun and I have had some top feedback, over and above the comments on the night and the visible enjoyment of the dancers having a good time.

Do let me know when you are playing public dances in and around the Surrey - Sussex area – quite a few of us would like to have another go!

Thanks again and all best wishes.
Kimball Bailey
