“Thank you for an amazing evening. There was hardly room for everyone on the dance floor which reflected how wonderful you and your band are! People have been complimenting you all day.”
“We heard many compliments and expressions of joy. I really enjoyed seeing the intergenerational aspect of it all. You have such a wonderful way of interacting with people and making it all seem so easy and soooo much fun! Keep doing what you do with the children in the schools. It’s terribly important.”
“So many of my friends have said, ‘Best retirement party I’ve every been to!’ I just wanted to thank you for making the party a success! When the musicians first started playing, my family thought it was recorded Irish music and when they realized it was your group, they were impressed. You made it memorable!!”
“Many people told us that this was the best wedding they’d ever been to! The dancing was fabulous…I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day! Thank you for all your hard work!”
“Just wanted to let you know how much fun we had when you came to the Cabin Fever Party last weekend. We were a small crowd, but very enthusiastic and appreciative. Word of mouth will help get more of us out of our cabins and onto the dance floor next year!”
“[We] just wanted to thank you for making our wedding more than spectacular. Everyone loved the band and the dancing. Thanks to you, the night was truly magical.”
“Thank you so much for coming to our home to play fine music for Bill’s birthday party…We had a wonderful time once people started dancing, but then it went too quickly!”
“I would enthusiastically recommend them to every school in the country.”
“As a twenty-year teacher in elementary music, I have observed or worked with more than sixty musicians, dance groups, and performing ensembles. Homespun is among the very best. Students were not memorizing dance steps. They were listening to the music and responding to the melodies, the beat, and the form of the pieces.”
“Watching families dance and have fun together, the same way they did many years ago, is both heartwarming and reassuring. As principal, I’m grateful my students get to experience the Homespun Family Dance.”
“For many of our families it was their first experience with a community dance. You taught us all a new way to be together as a community.”
“The students were impressed by the group’s ability to make something from the past become so vibrant and alive. I even heard one group of students say ‘We should get them to play at our prom.’”
“I just wanted to thank you for all your great work you did with our students this summer. The event was a gigantic success and it turned out so much better than anyone could have hoped for. What a great sight to watch our 40 pre-freshman students whirling and twirling, laughing and having such a fantastic time. “
“I would like to take this time to thank you for the generous donation of your time and talents. You put smiles on our campers’ and staff members’ faces and provided them with memories they will never forget. Our campers thoroughly enjoyed the performance and talked about it well into the evening. You were able to motivate not only our campers but our staff as well. For this I am truly grateful.”
