Ieuan Jones
Just to let you know that Peggy was a great success at our event last night and provided just the sort of background music we required. Everyone was really pleased with the arrangement. She came and set up without any fuss and joined us for a post-event drink in the showroom. Many thanks for your help with this. I shall certainly contact you the next time we require some musical entertainment.
Kind regards.
