Hi Wilf,
On behalf of the RHPA, I wanted to send a massive thank you for playing at our Summer Fair yesterday.
Your music created the absolute perfect atmosphere and brought so much sunshine and energy to the day.
We have received wonderful feedback from everyone who attended—the event truly wouldn’t have been the same without your fantastic performance.
We incredibly appreciate your time and talent, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back for future events!
Warmest regards,
Louise & the RHPA

The emeralds were absolutely amazing. Having them there made the day that much special. Everyone loved the steel band and had people up and dancing. From the shirts to the song choices, everything was just so great. We want to say thank you from all of us and bringing so much fun to the wedding. I would highly recommend The Emeralds to anyone planning on having a steel band. Thank you again. Nathan

We had The Emeralds play at our wedding reception in September, and they were outstanding. It was raining in the morning on our day and we didn’t know if we’d be able to have them play outside but they did. They brought warmth, energy and laughter to our cocktail reception and we’re so grateful. We were whisked off for pictures so we never got to say thank you in person. But we loved the music they played and our guest were very impressed. So a big thank you to The Emeralds!

Wilf was amazing! The whole event was placed on the back foot with heavy rain threatening to close it down however Wilf’s music lifted everyone’s spirits and the beach party was a great success!!

I had booked Emeralds for a couple of hours for my husbands 40th birthday. Before the event Wilf was in touch with me and we went over last minute details. Wilf came and played the steel pan beautifully as the guests arrived. It set a relaxing entrance for people to come and mingle before the dj began his music. A great start to the party and my guests loved to music too. Thank you last minute music and and obviously Wilf from The Emeralds too.

THANK YOU very much for playing at our party, you sounded absolutely brilliant. We had loads of great comments, texts and FB posts from our friends and family about how good you, and all the other bands, were. We wished more people had got up to dance earlier on but sadly it takes people time and a few beers to get up and boogie!! The rest of the day and evening went really well thank you, thank goodness the weather was kind to us on the day!

Thank you once again for being such brilliant sports and making the event really buzz with your enthusiasm and cheerfulness. The Chairman of the Council loved her stint with you and you may have seen the shore video of the occasion. See you again we hope in the not too distant future.

Huge thank you to the Emeralds who played at our wedding in May this year.
They were wonderful, all our guests really enjoyed the music, they were the perfect
background to the events on the day. We would most highly recommend them to
anyone planning a wedding or ceremony in the future – you certainly wont be
disappointed.
