Nigel and Lucy (joint birthday party, March 2010)

"thanks to you all in Dodger for putting on such a great show at our party on Saturday. Everyone is commenting on how good you were, I'm sure you generated a great deal of future business! Thanks again."

Liz & Phil (wedding, October 2009)

"Thanks to all in Dodger for making our wedding reception such a fantastic party. From learning our first dance especially for us, to putting together fab sets that everyone loved and had the dance floor jammed all night, you did a great job. And as for your versatility and energy - incredible! Loads of our guests commented on the 'great band'. One friend has already booked you for a birthday in 2010 and another has short-listed you for their wedding. The atmosphere was brilliant all night and I know that memories of the party will live on with our guests long after the hangovers wear off!"

Frank Gelder (wedding, September 2009)

"Thank you for an absolutely fantastic evening, the band were fantastic and everyone at our reception mainly headed by myself was literally singing your praises. A massive thank you... Iwould have absolutely no problems in recommending you guys to anyone ... you really did make the evening go so well."

Joyce Mann, on behalf of The Wardroom, HMS Nelson
Portsmouth (May 2009)

"Thank you - the sets you played were fantastic - and general comments on the night and throughout the Wardroom today have been very positive and enthusiastic. The content mix was excellent and all members of the band very skilled in their own areas. The lead singer and keyboard vocals complemented each other very well. I look forward to booking you again and hope you will return to Nelson WR in the not-too-distant future."

Everyone who attended the night was blown away by you all and I really hope you get some gigs from taking part, you soooo deserve to! :-)
Thank you again for making my idea of a tribute night for my dear Mum so successful - just to let you know the night generated £1203.66p for Sophies Appeal which is an outstanding amount. Thank you all for being part of it!"

Stephen & Anne Taylor (Birthday party, January 2009)

"Thankyou all so much for playing at our party on the 24 January. It was a fantastic evening and you were all brilliant! Great music and great people!

Everybody enjoyed the evening and we had so much good feedback on the night and since then, and we won't forget it. We decided to book Dodger as soon as we saw you at the George last year and it was an excellent decision.

Thankyou too for learning a new song which was a lovely surprise.

As soon as it was over we wanted to do it all again soon, but we will have to wait until the next big birthday so please keep May 2010 free and we will be in touch!

Thanks again and hope you get many more bookings."

Val Wallace-Jones, Havant College (Christmas party, Dec 2008)

"Just to say a huge THANK YOU on behalf of Havant College for your terrific performance at our Christmas Party on Friday. Staff have been singing your praises all morning and, believe me, we generally don't do a lot of praising on a Monday! You are clearly very talented, with an excellent range of music and a real sense of audience awareness. I know that you have already received one booking on the strength of Friday night, and I believe there are one or two more in the pipeline - testimony indeed to how fabulous your performance was.
Largley due to you all, there is a real determination within the college for us to repeat the event, so keep a space in your diary for us in December 2009. As the organiser of the event, I would be delighted if you would play for us again, as my dealings with you were efficient and good-humoured."

Dave & Alison (wedding, August 2008)

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of your band for a fantastic night on Saturday. Everyone commented on how good you all were and what a great time they had. Thanks again and we are planning on coming to see you when you are next playing! "
