"Our
night at the Sunray was one of the highlights of our tour in 2008. A great
crowd, enthusiastic singers and top-quality floor spots. The Sunray shows
what can be done." Cloudstreet
"Oh
what a night!! S.F.C. provides the perfect ambiance for a successful evening.
It is so well advertised to such a high quality that S.F.C. just can't fail
to get those bums on seats. A lovely audience totally supporting the
choruses of the songs with their fine voices. I thoroughly enjoyed my recent
first visit to the club and can't wait for the next time on 25th June
2009"Bram Taylor.
"Your

a fantastic evening at the Club last night (Feb08). We can't think how you

most enjoyable."
"....the
atmosphere was splendid...Good to see such a turnout...
"It
was an excellent evening and a great atmosphere..."

well-attended, knowledgeable club, with good regular performers, a firm but

room" staff"
"What
a super night! A wealth of talent from start to finish"
"..a
fantastic evening thoroughly enjoyed by myself and a friend, who is now a

were wonderful. A trio for this tour of the UK having Rebecca Wright on cello
join them. It was an exciting night and a special one as they are not touring
the UK at all in 2009, so it good we could attract them to our club. And all the
supporting singers were female. All great and all very well received.

BRAM
TAYLOR gave us an excellent night. New members have also joined our membership.
Supporting Bram was Woman Wants Tall Man, who were very well appreciated. A
surprise addition to the evening was a couple of songs from TIM LAYCOCK. All in
all a great night.

"Thoroughly
enjoyed Thursday evening, a wealth and variety of such excellent talent.
No improvements necessary, I think you've got it cracked"
"Hi,
many thanks for a very entertaining evening and the effort you put in, long may
the club succeed. Paul and Mick were excellent as was the young lady from
Cornwall on her way to Salisbury to paint a dog."
"Bob.....it
was a real privilege to be there.....It was lovely to hear all of you singing
and playing, and to see a true artiste such as Tim (Laycock)- what a lucky
coincidence for me to see a son of Dorset on his home turf! I know you are a
little uncertain about the move from your previous premises, but from what I saw
and heard last night, you have no reason to be even the slightest bit concerned;
you have a well-attended, knowledgeable club, with good regular performers, a
firm but understanding hand on the tiller and very sound and committed
"back room" staff........Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing
you in the not-too-distant future."
