"Just a quick note to say thanks to you and the band for a really fantastic night.  I think you could see that everyone had a great time.  I had a look around during the set and everyone in the room was on the dance floor, it was magic!
 Uncle Funk are a truly wonderful band, I wish you every success for the future.  Kind regards
