To the Bristol Reggae Orchestra,
We are writing to say a big 'thank you' for coming to our school. All the children have had a brilliant time seeing you play music in real life.
You are spectacular and work well as a team. We were really impressed. Some of us are interested in becoming musicians when [we] are older because you have inspired [us]. We look forward to telling our parents about our magnificent day. Thank you again.
It would be a pleasure to have you back in our school again.
From the children at St John's Mead.

Dear Bristol Reggae Orchestra and Support Team,
I attended the Diversity Funday in Filwood on Saturday, and wanted to pass on how sublime your performance was. Not only as a showcase of inclusion and diversity, but also as a wonderfully joyous and uplifting experience for the audience. The enjoyment of the performance by all performing was not only contagious but captivating.
I also wanted to say how balanced and full the sound was - the quality was unlike any performance I have experienced, and I say this as a person who does not hear well or normally. It was perfect.
Thank you!

Can't wait till the next gig.

"Bristol Reggae Orchestra were fantastic in our school - they inspired the children with their enthusiasm and passion towards music, in particular reggae. Their performance was captivating and they went onto discuss the history of reggae and gave an introduction to each of the instruments they played. We are all so grateful for their time and for giving the children an unforgettable experience." -

We were absolutely delighted with BRO's performance and the overall warmth and fun they brought to the celebration. I would highly recommend you to anyone and would be very happy to provide a testimony to that affect should it be useful ever.
We have had rave reviews from our staff about the event and I can wholeheartedly say that each and every person there had a fabulous time.
Many thanks again to the whole orchestra and enjoy the summer!
