• Nov. 3, 2017"I really enjoyed yesterday's concert. The band played to its usual high standard. The weather cooperated and it was a beautiful setting although I was a little sorry for the cornet section and everyone else sat behind them who were located in the hot sun! All the soloists performed with excellence and my favourite tune ""Evergreen"" was a hit with me. Even the church bells celebrating a wedding at the nearby church were beaten into submission by the band at one point!
My wife was feeling under the weather and unfortunately had to miss the concert, but I am sure she would have enjoyed it as well. We are both looking forward now to the Holy Trinity concert. Thank you very much for a very enjoyable afternoon."

• Nov. 3, 2017Just a quick email about the Garden Party. Whilst the numbers attending were not high it was a lovely community event in a great setting. EYMS Band were brilliant (we were close by) and the playing of the new piece 'Manchester' was very moving. What a fantastic conductor. Apologies for having to dash off at the end. We had family commitments as we do today. Many thanks for organising it and pass on our congratulations, and thanks to 'the band' again.

• Nov. 3, 2017"May I thank you on behalf of Beverley Male Voice Choir for inviting us to be your guests in Hull Minster last weekend. It was an honour indeed to be asked to appear on the same stage as such an extremely accomplished and entertaining band. The pride and humour with which Stig presents soloists I thought was particularly impressive and as for your own solo, well, we couldn't take our eyes off you!
Best wishes and good luck for the future - not that a band like EYMS needs luck."
