I really can't thank you enough for Infusion's participation in the event. Everybody was completely awestruck by their talent! Absolutely amazing. I will definitely be passing on your details to anyone looking for a great jazz band and I hope, very much, that Infusion will be able to participate in any future music events for Encompass.

A huge thanks to the boys for a truly fabulous evening. They were amazing and received SO many compliments. I could have cancelled the party and listened to them all night! We would be delighted to have them again the next time we have an excuse! They really did make the evening very special.

Miles of joy at night to remember
RECENTLY the St Edmund’s Music Group, Katherine Road, Forest Gate, promoted a 50th anniversary tribute to A Kind of Blue, the landmark album by Miles Davis, and still the biggest-selling album of all time. Led by Marius Rudnick (sax and flute), the evening was a triumph. Paul Higgs took the role of Miles on trumpet and the line up was completed by Arthur Collins (sax/clarinet), Chris Neill (piano) and Sid Thompson (drums). The remarkable lad on piano was just fifteen and what talent! Paul Higgs I saw many years ago in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, which emphasises how invaluable that organisation is. This was an outstanding evening. I can’t praise too highly how each rose to the occasion and long may St Edmund’s Music Group continue. – ROBERT RUSH, chairman, Monega Residents’ Association.

Many, many thanks once again for providing/organising the excellent entertainment yesterday at the Pier Walk. Everyone enjoyed the music and the great atmosphere. Hope the lads weren't too tired after the day's performance. I managed to thank most of the crew personally, but Annie had left before I had a chance to thank her, so perhaps you would do so on my behalf - she has a great voice eh! Infusion are still going strong with the excellent lead from Chris, who goes from strength to strength - radio and TV next? Every good wish and thanks again from me and the Rotary Club.

Terry Tidman, The Rotary Club of Leigh-on-Sea
Good to meet you and the band - I thought Infusion were great and still can't believe that your son Chris is only 15 - you must be so proud.

I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you so much for coming to our wedding and giving such a wonderful performance, it was everything we wanted it to be, lovely music, well played, discreet enough not to overwhelm conversations and yet enough to be heard and appreciated. I'd like to pass on many compliments regarding your playing, you are clearly a very talented young man with a musical future ahead if you wish for it! Although I don't want to focus on it, many guests commented on your youth and were all the more impressed at your ability and the wide range of music you play. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend you to others and wish you the very best of luck in your future.

Thank you to Chris and Mike, both nights were fantastic, and despite me running around and leaving you to your own devices, I was able to leave you to get set up with no problems, so thank you for that.

Emma Spencer, MotivAction Group plc
I can understand how Chris can have managed to develop a technique that good at fifteen. What I don't understand is how he has managed to get forty years of experience!
