Don't just take our word for it that we'll rock your crowd! Here are some recent comments from organisers that have hired us and charities we have supported:

Brian Conyngham, Drogheda Samba Festival Organizer, June 2010

"Hi all in Cambridge, Thanks again for your fantastic musical contribution to the festival and your co-operation with the programme. Your magic formula worked on the audience once more, especially on the Sunday evening."

Mark, Waterbeach Community Association, June 2010

"We just wanted to say thank you to you and the Arco Iris group for performing at Waterbeach Feast on Saturday.  We have received many complimentary comments about your performance and how good you were to attend at such short notice.  Please pass on our appreciation to all those concerned.  Once again, thank you."

Nicky Jackson, Community Fundraiser, East Anglia's Children's Hospices, May 2010

"On behalf of everyone at EACH and all the Milton Friends I would like to say a huge thank you to you and all the members of the Cambridge community samba band for opening our Gala Day in such a spectacular way. Everyone commented on how they loved the sound and we had a couple people asking how they could join. It was fantastic to see you all and hear you all play.   Despite the dire weather we raised a fantastic £4,000 which will directly benefit local children with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs."

Phil Pugh, Surpise Birthday Celebrator, February 2010

"Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you again to Arco Iris for playing at, and being a major part of my surprise 50th celebrations!  From the moment Colin and the band stepped into the room, the atmosphere was electric. The samba rhythms were definitely contagious and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The evening was amazing and one I will remember for a very long time."

Joanna Davies, Fundraising, MSF UK, January 2010

"Thank you so much for your amazing donation of £503.60 raised through busking in Cambridge towards the work of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). It must have been a truly wonderful day! Your generous support allows us to respond quickly in emergencies to provide lifesaving medical care." (The other £503.60 went to Oxfam... )
