Dear Sir/Madam, I'm contacting you on behalf of The Slicknotes - a Colchester based 10-piece function band - we are keen to exhibit at Suffolk Wedding Show - could you let me know of availability and further information on the cost etc? We would also be happy to perform to visitors at various intervals throughout the day, either outdoors/indoors - if this is of interest, we would ask if a discount could be negotiated on the cost of exhibiting (obviously no performance fee would be charged), as this would mean leaving our stand un-manned whilst performing. We can provide our own sound technician & equipment if needed, including a PA system. I've copied some general info on the band below for reference. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks, Shaun Ballisat The Slicknotes www.theslicknotes.com - currently under construction www.myspace.com/slicknotes The SlickNotes are a charismatic 10-piece band comprising rhythm section, horn section and flamboyant lead vocalist, that play funk/rock/jazz/blues/pop/ska.

After a well-recieved live performance on Ipswich Community Radio the band is due to enter the recording studio to record its first album. All of the band's members have a wealth of performing experience in various genres of music, both as soloists and in a range of bands and ensembles and are either currently studying for, or have completed a music degree.
