Hi Chris

Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for pulling our New Year's Eve show out of gloom and into the light.

Obviously the weather was a contributing factor to the atmosphere being a bit muted until you came on. Throughout the evening Police estimates on the crowd were around 10,000, when you came on at 11:15 the crowds pushed upto 60,000 and the Police had serious safety worry's that they couldn't get cram anymore into the venue. That was no fluke, but was testament to your professionalism and willingness to whip a cold and miserable crowd into the mood to have a party.

I've been in radio for a number of years now and have booked some so called stars for hundreds of PA's, 90% of those a waste of money and the majority have neither the inclination or ability to entertain a crowd.

You were fantastic and worth every penny, and its nice to meet some one with that basic but valuable commodity called manners.

Once again thank you very much for pulling us through the night
