Just a quick note to thank you for coming along and entertaining us so well on Heritage Open Day. Weren’t we lucky with the weather?! Everybody looked as though they were having a great time, even though I began to get a bit nervous about having to catch a full sized clown if he fell of that oversized ball!!

Many thanks again – see you next year?

All the kids loved you and thought it was fab-a-rooney. Thank you for all the hard work and hopefully you will re-do it next summer term. It was emotional this pm when they came out for summer, but they will all have a great summer having seen you.

Thank you from all at Farnborough RD School, Southport. The teachers said "never seen so many kids stay in the disco and not go to the toilet, The Clowns made our job easy peasy lemon squeezy"

Mollie's Party - February 2007

Many thanks for the great performance yesterday at Mollie’s party.
I had great feedback on your show from both the children and adults.
In particular the adults favourite part was the ‘snake in the box’ – particularly as the kid involved is usually a little brat….

Anyway, once again, a big thank you. You made her party!

Kind Regards
Nikki Hoare, HR Secretary, Northgate I.S.

St Peter Port, Guernsey - July 2006

Thank you both so much for bringing your unique brand of entertainment to the Town Carnival in Guernsey last week. St Peter Port is definitely not the same without you and there are a lot less smiles around now you're gone. Still, we are looking forward to next time and hope that the fabulous work of the organisers will ensure that you get to come back again for another year.

My daughter is now quite frankly clown obsessed and my make-up collection is suffering for it ( I can probably survive without my 80's rainbow eyeshadow! )

Equity 75th Annniversary party - January 2006

Dear Rainbow & Sonny,
I am writing to thank you for your performance and contribution towards the success of our 75th Annniversary party at the National Theatre last week.

As you know, this was an important event for Equity as it served to celebrate our history and also all those members who have been involved from the very early days. It was important to us that these guests, some of whom have been in Equity for more than 50 years, should have a good time. Your clowning very much added a sparkle to the event and to their enjoyment of it, and I am very greatful.

We have had numerous thank you letters and calls from guests and many of these have mentioned how much they enjoyed the entertainment so I am passing on their thanks to you by way of this letter.
Louise Grainger, Equity Marketing and Membership Services Manager

Just a quick note to say I live in Guernsey and this year took the week off work to watch your shows with my 8 year old daughter Georgia. Once again you were absolutely fantastic and will do whatever we can to keep the Town Carnival going. It takes a lot of skill and patience to do what you do and I really admire the work you do. I have just read your biographies and am thrilled to have found your website. Once again thanks so much for the delight you bring to the childrens faces - July just wouldn't be the same without your faces.

Ellie's Party - 30th April 2005

Dear Rainbow & Sonny,
Thank you very much for making my 4th birthday party so brilliant. You made me and my friends (and their parents) laugh the whole time, and I haven't stopped talking about you since!

I liked it best when Rainbow was skipping on the big red ball, and I was counting on the microphone. You are both very funny and great to watch, I didn't want my party to end.

I hope you like these photographs.
Love from Ellie Hunt (Aged 4)

RE: Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade Hong Kong
January 2004

"I just wanted to thank you for your thoroughly professional and highly entertaining performance in the Chinese New Year Night Parade in Hong Kong last week.

I witnessed myself first hand, the charisma and joviality of your routines. You were both a delight to travel with and to watch perform. The people of Hong Kong certainly delighted at your antics during the parade and subsequent performances around the City.

I wish you well and look forward to working with you again in the not too distant future. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to other clients."

It was a pleasure to work with you and I was so pleased with the very professional way in which you became involved in what was a somewhat fluid programme (I understand the evenings were also somewhat fluid).

THE LONDON TAXI DRIVERS' FUND FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN
January 2003

"I am writing on behalf of the Chairman and committee to inform you that after 30 years of holding the Mad Hatter's Tea Parties at Le Meridien Grosvenor House, the party on 19th January for over 650 'special needs' children has gone down on record as the best ever. The feedback has been tremendous and we are all thrilled and delighted that our 75th anniversary party was such a great success. The atmosphere was truly brilliant, the excitement and happiness on the children's faces was just amazing and we know they will remember that afternoon for a very long time.

We have just received a thank you letter from a school for the visually impaired who had attended the party and they informed us that one little girl who is blind and has other problems, had got up and fully dressed herself for the first time ever - the only problem being that it was 4am in the morning - she was so looking forward to the party she couldn't wait - I think this says it all as to how valuable your contribution is."
Raymond Levy, Vice-Chairman/Public Relations

Re: Lions Fete - August Bank Holiday Monday 2000

"I write to thank you for your very enjoyable services at our Fete recently and to commend you for your antics during the rain which so cruelly brought the event almost to a standstill.

Those spectators who were able to view your performance and certainly I and my fellow Lions who watched from the marquee were thoroughly entertained and were able to forget about the torrential rain for those few precious moments."
Chris Stupples - Lion President

Third Clowns Festival in Utrecht - 2000

"Thank you for taking part in, and helping to make the Festival a great success, your hard work and performances were appreciated by all the organisers and sponsors of this truly international event.

Through your efforts the Festival raised the sum of £5,000 sterling to go to a special fund to give specialised medical treatment to refugee children from around the world, these children will be treated in the major hospitals of Utrecht and receive care that will hopefully restore them to a full and healthy life."

Honeypot, London, SW7 - December 1999

"I wanted to write and say a huge thank you from all at Honeypot, for keeping the children entertained so well last Saturday.

I know that I speak from us all, pretty experienced at entertaining children ourselves, when I say that we were so impressed with your professionalism, sharp timing and humour - the kids were captivated for 4 hours - a very long time! Thank you so much for ensuring our party went so well - you are the best!

The children had an absolute fantastic time and were chatting and laughing all the way home on the coach about the funny things you had done. They really enjoyed it - so thank you so much."
