Louise & Peter, Wedding - November 28th 2009

Hi Geoff and Daniel,
I’m the guy who hired the Players for our Christmas party last Friday. All the players Will, David and Ash were absolutely wicked. The crew loved them!

I’m the hero of course, because my crew didn’t think their geriatric boss could line up such an act!!!!!
