 You bring joy, musical beauty and harmony to those fortunate enough to hear you. Keep adding to your repertoire, please.
 Great job, I will come again.
 An amazing variety of voices and sounds.
 Fantastic show! Well done!
 Love your enthusiasm for varied repertoire, and the obvious hours of attentive practice that it has taken to be so balanced in your sound.
 Loved it all - the variety, the harmonies were brilliant and with so little accompaniment.
 Great variety, beautifully in tune.
 Utterly fascinating

 Magnificent, extraordinary
 Beautiful harmonic choral singing
 Harmony in the church was wonderful!
 The variety, yet all “linked”. The Leek was extraordinary!!!
