"Gavin was very easy to deal with, booking and arrangements went seamlessly,
Gavin arrived early on the day of the event and took the time to review las minute arrangements and to walk the route.
We had a very successful parade fronted by an excellent duo of Gavin and the accompanying drummer.
Well done lads and thanks for making our Remembrance Day Parade, commemorating 100 yrs since the end of WW1, here in Tutbury a fitting tribute."
