“Dear John, Joules and all the crew…

Thank you for the most wonderful night. In one way and another my friend Annemarie and I have been through the mill and we seldom (never) ever get a night out! we loved it and please put us down for the next ceilidh and the one after that. Thanks all, well done on raising the money that’s a fantastic amount”.

We enjoyed your Halloween Ceilidh at New Mills so much and other events of your we’ve attended that we’ve bought some tickets (for New Year’s Eve) and are really looking forward to joining you.

I just wanted to get in touch and thank HopGoblin very much for the really wonderful ceilidh last weekend. The band were really excellent, with superb music and calling, and it was everything we could have wanted for our party! We really appreciated your flexibility in planning the event and on the evening. We’ve had lots of positive comments about our great the ceilidh was, and we would not hesitate to recommend you.

Just wanted to thank you and the band again for a great evening on Saturday! EVERYONE said they enjoyed it and there were loads of compliments about the band and the caller. I have no idea what goes into producing something like that, behind the scenes, but I can tell you that all your efforts were well worth while and very much appreciated!

We enjoyed last year's event, and we were hoping to book in one for this year if possible (and yes, they’ve booked us again!)
