Testimonials from Venues & Promoters

Lament with Northants Touring Arts rural touring scheme

We have had many positive and very good reviews for the evening.
I really thought the group were excellent and the impromptu dancing by a few members of the audience was great entertainment .
Please would you pass on my thanks to Lament. They were extremely friendly and very accommodating.

It made for a very relaxing and highly professional entertaining evening. I shall be very happy to pass on recommendations.

Again my thanks

We all had a fantastic time on Saturday - thank *you *all very much for making it such a memorable evening.

Lament transformed our aging village hall with their wonderful and unique style of Latin American music. Everyone was on their feet dancing - it was perfect for a hot June evening and made for a very memorable celebration. We are truly grateful to Northants Touring Arts for making it all possible.

I do hope you might come back again when the new hall is built!

Notts and Lincs Rural Touring Programme

Lament combine skilled musicianship and a warm rapport with audiences. The band's infectious rhythms had everyone up and dancing.

Many thanks again for the shows. We've had some very positive feedback. (I heard from the Thurgarton promoters about the fantastic dancers that turned up!).

I’m happy to provide a testimonial and to consider the band for future programmes. Will be back in touch in the future.

Sue Beresford, Notts & Lincs Rural Touring

"This was one of the best Village ventures we have had! The band were very nice people and easy to deal with. Once they started playing, the audience quickly responded to them and the dancing started... and went on and on and on........ Great! A really good evening!"

Kenilworth Festival

Thanks to Kath, Wayne, Liz, Chris and Anthony for driving away the clouds. The trumpet seemed hot enough to me Liz and the singing was magnificent again.

The CDs are already getting my granddaughter dancing her heart out.

The Purple Party (charity event)

We have had lots of great feedback from our guests, the music was spot on and everyone had a great time. Add to that the fact that you guys were a total pleasure to work with (despite delays and having the raffle effectively dumped on you!) then it couldn't really have been much better.

Thank you so much for making it such a great night. Wouldn't hestitate to book you again or recommend you to others, though I think it'll be a while before I do another one!

Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. We made just short of Ł1100 for our two charities.

Cheers,
Laura.

The Yardbird Jazz Club (audience member)

Hi Lament,

Had a fantastic night watching you guys perform at the Yardbird in Birmingham on the 5 August 2009. I remember seeing you all in July 09 for the first time and I couldn't believe how amazing you were. So I decided to buy your CD "This aint rio" off Kath K. Went home and listened to the CD in the car and absolutely loved it! Just started listening to the new album and that's really good too!

I really love your music; it's got a great vibe. It's nice to hear the Latin & Jazz being brought back into vogue again!

I have told quite a few friends and family all about you and a definite must see and listen too.

Keep it up Kath & the Gang and I wish you all the success in the world with your new album!

Best wishes,

Rich Workman :-)x

'We had a very successful festival and this would not be possible without the entertainment that people such as yourself add to the occassion, we had several comments about the fact that we were able to offer a diverse and interesting programme of events and the atmosphere that you managed to create adds to this, without help we would not be able to do this, so we are very much in your debt for this'
