I just wanted to get in touch to let you know what great feedback we got from our guests about Capone and the DJ at our wedding. So many people we spoke to afterwards told us how brilliant they thought they were, especially the singer. We had guests saying they were the best wedding band they had ever seen and they made such a refreshing change from having a cheesy band & dj!
Chris and I were so pleased; the singer was so friendly and made the evening feel so personal. Claire smiled the whole way through and laughed and joked with the guests on the dance floor. The Dj was also brilliant- he happily accepted requests and played much longer than he was scheduled to as the dance floor was so busy! We also appreciate you managing to play so many of the requests I sent through. The other choice of songs were spot on too. We absolutely loved the entire set, I am so glad we decided to book you. The overall service I have received has been completely smooth and pain free and I would have no hesitation at all in recommending you to anyone else. Many thanks once again.
Trying to find a band for our wedding this summer was quite a daunting task, as the music plays such a big role in setting the tone of the event. As soon as we heard Capone's demo, we thought there was something different and special about them and we weren't wrong!
The band were amazing to work with from day one, making a huge journey from the north of England across the channel to Guernsey, without any hassle or complaint. Their repertoire was huge, playing everything from old tunes to new, including a beautiful rendition of our first dance song. My friends and family were incredibly impressed, so much so that the band were the talk of the after party, with several of the guests commenting on Chole's incredible vocal range. Hiring Capone was the best decision we made and well worth it, what a brilliant bunch of talented self-starters. I'm just looking for an excuse to hire them again now!" Thanks again to you all!
We booked with Capone after seeing them play at our friend's wedding in 2013 and they were just as great on our day as we had remembered. From the initial booking, through to the big day they have been professional, thorough and friendly. We will definitely be recommending to my friends and family for the future! Thanks again!
Capone played a fantastic set which got the whole marquee up on their feet and dancing. A really tight band and the singer has an amazing voice – the online videos do not do them justice! The band were great to deal with in advance, very clear as to what they would require and very accommodating of our specific requests. Thanks guys, you really helped make the evening come alive!
First Hydro Company were celebrating its 30th Anniversary and wanted a band who would play a mixture of music in order to meet a varied selection of age groups who were attending the event. Capone were very obliging, came across very well, and helped to keep our evening flowing with suitable music meeting everyone's tastes. The music was pitched at just the right level for the event; not too loud, not too way out and they were all well-rehearsed and tight. Highly Recommended!!
We were really happy with Capone and really glad we chose them. We chose the band because of the other testimonials and the type of music that they played and we weren't disappointed! In all our interactions Paul and the band were really professional and helpful and made life as easy as possible for us. The sound was fantastic – our main aim was to get as many people dancing as possible and – thanks to Paul, Claire, Tim and Phil – everyone had a great time. The band sounded fantastic but one of the main things for us was that they all seemed to being enjoying themselves as well. The only downside was that they couldn't play for longer but that was down to the venue rather than them! Overall highly recommended and if you do book them we're sure you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for making our wedding so amazing. We had a fabulous time on our special night, and you guys made this for us. We have had so many friends and family comment how great you guys were on our Night. We thank you for making it so special with your performance. Thank you again!
Well, it is now 4 weeks since our Wedding Day and we are still on a high and still dancing around the kitchen to Everybody Needs Somebody to Love and Shake Your Tail Feathers! We loved both these songs before our Wedding but now they mean even more to us. We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for making our evening really special. Thank you so much for playing the songs we love – all evening – and for keeping the dance floor busy all night. Ian and I would gladly have danced into the early hours if you had kept playing!
I hope you are all well, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing for us on our Wedding Day, you were very popular with everyone, we had so many people comment on how great you were as a band. Also thanks for the first dance song you put together for us. it was extremely popular and made a lot of people laugh. I wonder if it would be possible to ask a favour? Would you be able to provide your set list for the day (each session), I would like to print and frame it as a constant reminder of the day. Thanks again and hopefully we will see you perform again sometime soon.
RSVP are a fantastic party band, able to tailor their playlist for any occasion. A very reliable and professional bunch, with a lot of soul and an eclectic playlist, RSVP made my 50th birthday bash really fun and energetic. They played a dinner set as well as dance music later on and were able to work with us to provide the right sound for the occasion. Everyone raved about them (Americans and Brits of all ages). We would recommend them for any party. Thanks you, RSVP!
Good evening and trust you are well. Just a quick note to thank you and the rest of the band for a thoroughly entertaining evening – you helped create a brilliant atmosphere and kept everyone dancing all night. Everyone has been very complementary about the quality and the performance of you guys and from mine and Bryony's perspective, you helped make it such a special night for us and our guests.
Thank you very much for your e-mail and thank you very much for playing at our wedding. Many of our guests commented how good you were. I must apologies that I did not get the opportunity to talk you properly on the day. It was all a bit of a whirlwind!!! Of course I can write a testimonial for you. Please let me know where you would like me to review your band and I will action this week. Thank you once again for helping to make our wedding day a day to remember.
Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to you all for your brilliant performance at my birthday party on Saturday evening. Lots of guests have commented on how they enjoyed it and how professional everything was. Shame that everyone was too busy chatting and eating (which to be fair took longer than we envisaged) to dance during the first set but nice to see the dance floor busy during the second. Once again many thanks, I certainly would have no hesitation to recommending Capone to my friends and family.
I just wanted to say thanks so much to the band for your performance on Saturday night. Tom and I could not have been happier and everyone commented on how amazing you were. We will do a proper review when we get back from honeymoon but if you could pass on our thanks to the rest of the band that would be great.
Claire has a lovely voice and many people commented that they really enjoyed the band. They were professional, very easy to contact and answered all my questions promptly. We had them on a very warm night and a lot of people were sitting outside chatting and listening to them whilst enjoying a cool breeze. Thank you!
What can we say? The evening was a roaring success with all our guests commenting on how fantastic the Capone band were. You were all so professional from setting up to leaving. Thank you for incorporating our song choices into your set and making it a truly magical evening in the most wonderful of locations. The dance floor was full from the word go and the atmosphere was fantastic. We cannot recommend you highly enough. Thanks again guys. Will definitely pass your number to anyone needing a band.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for doing a great job at our wedding. We had such a great time you and your band was great which was good as my guests were well up a party!! Thanks again!!
Thank you to Capone for a wonderful performance, the music was brilliant, Claire has an amazing voice and the band were ready to perform in plenty of time, fitting round the events of our wedding. Everyone commented on how great they were. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again. Thank you.
We were absolutely delighted with all of you on our wedding day, you really were amazing and honestly we can't thank you enough. You brought such an amazing atmosphere and were so professional and friendly at all times. I Will and have recommended you to EVERYONE! Thanks again!
Capone played at our wedding and were amazing. Our first contact with them a few weeks before the wedding was friendly and helpful and we felt confident that we didn't need to worry about their part in the day. They were keen to find out what music we wanted them to play both live and between sets (we said yes to the free DJ). When they arrived (in good time despite a long journey) they set up quietly and were ready with our first dance song when we needed. Their set was brilliant; everyone danced for ages. We've had SO many people since the wedding tell us that the band were fantastic, that the singer was amazing and asking how we'd found them. We'd strongly recommend Capone as a great band who are also friendly and put effort into tailoring their performance to the needs of the people hiring them.
I just want to say that you, the band and the DJ were great and I have already had some great feedback about the variety of music you played on the night. Everything went fantastically well so I would personally like to thank you for an excellent night's entertainment.
I have to start off by saying that this band were amazing. Right from the very start and the first contact they were super helpful so it made our planning even easier. They had a great selection of songs and really knew how to get the crowd going. I have not heard a single bad word about the band from the people who attended the wedding, which is really amazing as well. I would recommend this band to anyone and would love to be able to book them again. A massive thank you for being part of the day and making it a little extra special. Oh and sorry for falling in to the band a couple of times Lol!!
We are incredibly grateful to Capone for making the music at our wedding unforgettable! Claire's soulful voice was stunning and the varied sets had our guests of all ages on the dance floor. They were consummate professionals from the start and were happy to take our requests on board. Our first dance was amazing to hear and dance to live and it set a wonderful tone to the night. Having booked Capone/Capone as a 5-piece based on their demo we were anxious as to how the live band would sound. We were utterly impressed and received compliments on them from our guests all night. We also thought their accompanying DJ was a brilliant late night finish to the fabulous entertainment. We definitely recommend Capone/Capone for an excellent party!
I'd just like to say an absolutely fantastic wedding and Capone / Capone were brilliant. They got everybody up on the dance floor with their mixed and varied set …. Fantastic fun! We would have no hesitation in booking them again for any future parties …… definitely the best band we could have booked!!!
I would just like to say that Capone were absolutely fabulous and played a wonderful selection of music that accommodated our range of international guests. Their communication and professional attitude before, during and after the event was outstanding and that met every one of our requirements. They were just brilliant. Thank you!
We picked Capone for our wedding band and I cannot stress how fantastic this band is!!! They had everyone up on the dance floor as soon as the band started playing and Claire started singing! The talent and professionalism of this band is second to none! We also opted for a dj service which worked brilliantly alongside the band! Highly recommend!!!
Capone performed a brilliant set at our wedding reception, the dance floor was never empty. The quality of the music and choice of playlist were fantastic and the band were total professionals to deal with right from booking. Thank you very much!
Sorry not to get back to you sooner, we've been on honeymoon. Thanks so much for your performance at our wedding, we thought you were fantastic and lots of guests said to us how good they thought you were – we were a bit worried with the layout of the hall that people wouldn't dance but I never saw the dance floor empty, much to your credit!
We wanted to email you to say a Big Thank You to you all for such a brilliant performance at our Daughter's wedding 19th November 2011. Jenny and Chris will be emailing you when they get back from honeymoon very soon. We all had a fantastic day and your music was perfect. The drinks reception acoustic session blended beautifully for us and First Dance" Only You" was sung amazingly well by Claire. All the guests clearly had a good time judging by the amount of people on the dance floor thanks to your musical talent. It was a great Day for us!
I booked Capone for my wedding in April 2014. We had Capone as a three piece (as we did not have a lot of space in the venue).
Claire got in contact with me in plenty of time before the event to discuss our requirements (playlists for the live music and DJ sets, timings etc). Claire was a great help with all this and as a result organising the band was one of the easiest parts of the wedding which really took the pressure off other areas. Claire and the band also agreed to learn a new song for our first dance and their rendition of it on the day was excellent.
On the day the band arrived in plenty of time and worked with the hotel staff to get themselves in and set up (again, one less thing for me to do). From the time they started the first set to the last song the dance floor was full. I think either on the night or since, every one of my guests (without exception and without exaggerating) have said just how good they thought the band were. I was extremely impressed and we did not miss having more musicians there. I am not sure how they did it, but it certainly sounded more like a 5 piece band than a 3 piece.
We had a few older guests, who did not want to dance and who would rather spend the time talking and catching up. I knew from previous events that they found overly-loud DJs quite alienating and did not generally enjoy events where they had to really shout to be heard. Thankfully Capone pitched it just right, so everyone could enjoy the music.
I would recommend Capone to anyone thinking of hiring a band and I would strongly urge anyone thinking of hiring a DJ to forget it and hire Capone instead. Without a doubt they really made the evening special for everyone and had a really good rapport with the guests. I will definitely be booking with them for any future events.
We hope you were looked after by the catering staff and had enough refreshments for the day. You all fitted in really well and were a pleasure to have in our home. We really appreciated the use of the PA system too. The speeches ran over a little which made things a little later than predicted but all well in the end. Thank you once again to everyone. Joan and Neil Hallam.
I'd just like to say a great big thank you to Claire and the band that came all the way down to Warwickshire to perform at our wedding. The band were second to none and completely made our night with their mix of music classic to modern which kept the dance floor busy all night. We highly recommend them to anybody who's looking for a fun night!!! You will not be disappointed!
I was intending to email you today to say thank you so so much for being absolutely amazing when performing at our wedding. You were brilliant and really made the reception lively and fun. I was so touched that you performed the two songs that i requested for the IPod playlist and your rendition of our first dance song was just magical. I think you could tell that everyone loved you as they made you keep going until you had no voice left; sorry about that! I would certainly recommend you to anyone else getting married and all my guests agreed that you were fab. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks Capone. The music that your band played at our wedding was excellent, and all of our guests commented on how good it was. It was a bit of a risk booking a band that we hadn't heard before but the testimonials and varied set list helped us choose. The mix of songs ensured that the dance floor was always full with guests of all ages. A perfect sound for a perfect day.
Aaron, just a quick note to say, what a great night on Saturday for the 3rd year running. Well done to all the band, the atmosphere was fantastic, and feed-back has been great once again. We are definitely booking you for next year…….keep the date free!!!!!
'We booked Capone for our son's wedding reception and their performance was the perfect end to a perfect day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and people even started to dance during the sound check it was that good! Claire has an awesome voice backed up by some very talented musicians. As the saying goes, we could have danced all night. We would recommend Capone without hesitation. Thanks Claire.
Thank you to all in the Capone band for making our wedding unforgettable, the music was just brilliant and the dance floor was jam packed the whole night! The following day everyone commented on how great the band was – we would definitely book you again and we really would! My highlight was Florence and the machine, you've got the love!
A top notch performance and really enjoyed by myself and all my guests. Your set up was brilliant my eldest son Chris and his partner Amanda are both musicians Chris has his own DJ business (a little alternative) did you notice the tall guy with the dreads and Amanda used to sing (still does in the bath) and they were both really impressed, Amanda described Capone as 'really tight' not my terminology but I believe it means you were getting things right. Thanks for a great night and I'm sure your performance made my guests dig a little deeper, thank you, Kind Regards, Tony.
I just wanted to say thanks for Saturday. The band was brilliant and we've heard nothing but compliments about you all. Will be recommending you and will certainly be in touch if we're having another party.
Just a note to say that the ball was a great success due in no small part to the music provided by yourselves. The combination of old favourites and up to date music was a perfect mix for our ball.
All in all it was perfect.
What a fantastic night! The band was awesome and very professional. They played to mixed crowd from 18 up to 70 and kept the dance floor busy all night. Highly recommended and we will be booking them again!
On behalf of The Club and all those who attended please accept our sincere thanks for a superb performance. The dance floor was packed, a tribute to the quality of the musician's and your selection of music.

Actually just noticed this about half a year ago.
When you select more that one field in order to align them, you can do so by right clicking one of the fields and choosing Align. But, and this is important, the fields are aligned according to the one you right clicked on.
In the example I right clicked the field ContactName.
The same goes for resizing fields. The fields will be resized according the size of the field I right clicked on.
Used to working with MS Access forms, I knew it did not work there like this in Access. So a very nice feature in Crystal reports.


Welcome, imaginary friend. You didn't like Green Mile or Shawshank? Stand By Me or Misery? No big deal if you didn't but I have rarely met anybody who wasn't moved by at least one of those movies.
hello Aloysius....... i realized there would likely be a challenge when making this comment. i'm a huge movie buff with hundreds of films in my disk library, Green Mile or Shawshank are among my favorites but I've never read the printed versions. to my knowledge these are the only King movies i've ever seen and i'll likely read Green Mile when the opportunity presents. just saying i'll probably pass on a movie version of Dr Sleep if [when?] it becomes reality, it's a choice i'll need to make. ..............o discordia.
I'd see it if it were made. Either to enjoy it or critically pick it apart. Either way I'm entertained!
I even tell people to go to see movies I just told them I did not like, so at least they can see why that was.
I've always had a love-hate relationship with books turned into movies. There are some really great theatre adaptations, and some are very crappy, do no justice whatsoever to the book and make me so damn pissed. Would hate to see Dr. Sleep become a crappy movie adaptation of a great book. But now I think of it I don't beleive that, so far at least, I've seen one of Stephen King's books-to-movie adpations turn out as crappy. Think they've come out pretty good, Dr. Sleep would be a fine addition indeed.
Akiva Goldsman takes on the King once again with the SHINING sequel, DOCTOR SLEEP!
I don't know how this is going to work. It's so different from The Shining.
My 20 year old daughter isn't a huge fan of SK like I am, as she isn't as big a reader as I am. When she does read, it's YA stuff, and classics. She's a movie person, (her minor is in cinema) and she does love Shawhank, Green Mile, and despite her non interest in Sci-Fi...she LOVED Maximum Overdrive (Trucks). SK's range does fascinate her, though, and in English she picked Salem's Lot as her semester project, and she watched a "Biography" special with him online the other day. The Shining scared her to death, and while she knew he didn't like Kubrick's adaptation, it wasn't for the reason she thought. She was surprised to see that to SK, it was the disintegration of the family that was the real tragedy. I need to look up that episode of Biography...I love his interviews.
The Shining scared her to death, and while she knew he didn't like Kubrick's adaptation, it wasn't for the reason she thought. She was surprised to see that to SK, it was the disintegration of the family that was the real tragedy.
I have been watching some people in YouTube commenting about their experiences with Mr. King's books.
One girl commented how she was really scared when she read It. She talked about how It made such a cool villain and that It made the book scary.
All the while I was thinking how even worse than It was the town of Derry.
From the very beginning we see the kind of awful things Derry's people can do. And then we see what they have done through the history of the town. There is also the fact that some people may not be actually doing these things, but they get very good at seeing them and then pretending they didn't.
It was an awful monster (I use "awful" in the sense of the things It did), but It just came out for some months every few decades. In my opinion, the true monsters were the ordinary people who lived there.
The book shows this quite a few times.
I love how Mr. King's books can be read and leave each of us with different things. I suspect they may even feel like a different book to the same person if read at different points in life.
All that said, if they do a Doctor Sleep movie someday, I hope they do not leave out all of the focus on the characters and the way their family life when they are young can affect who they are/become as they grow up.
Me too. I esp like the way that you see (Spoiler) Danny's redemption and...(SUPER SPOILER) Jacks own redemption too!
With all due respect....Cujo. God, that movie ticked me off so bad! And Lawnmower Man was so horribly done that SK demanded his name be removed from the movie posters before it was released, the finished product looked nothing like the short story.
And Lawnmower Man was so horribly done that SK demanded his name be removed from the movie posters before it was released, the finished product looked nothing like the short story.
This may be the understatement of the day!
I think the only thing that movie has in common with the story is the title.
Ouch! That bad, is it?
I don't have Netflix, can't tell you, say sorry. But, yes, it IS that bad.

A decade of lava: Volcano Art Center to screen USGS film about Kilauea eruption
Saturday, March 10, 2018, 12:05 a.m.
M. PATRICK/USGS photo
An early evening view of Halema'uma'u crater on Jan. 30 at the summit of Kilauea volcano, when the lake level was 88 feet below the crater floor.
The Volcano Art Center is hosting a film screening of "Kilauea Summit Eruption: Lava Returns to Halema'uma'u" by the U.S. Geological Survey from 7-9 p.m. Thursday at the center's Ni'aulani Campus.
Join geologist Janet Babb and other representatives from the USGS-Hawaiian Volcano Observatory who will be on hand to mark the 10th anniversary of Kilauea volcano's ongoing summit eruption and answer questions after the film.
The 24-minute video tells the story of Kilauea's summit eruption, from its start in 2008 through 2017. It begins with a Hawaiian chant expressing traditional observations of an active lava lake, then recounts the eruptive history of Halema'uma'u and describes the formation and continued growth of the current summit vent and lava lake.
In the video, USGS-HVO scientists share insights about how they monitor the lava lake, how and why the lake level rises and falls, why explosive events occur, and the connection between Kilauea's ongoing summit and East Rift Zone eruptions.
The event is free, although a $5 donation to Volcano Art Center is greatly appreciated.
The evening is part of a monthly Thursday night series at the center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture and the environment. The series is intended to inspire and enhance appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections.
The Ni'aulani Campus is located at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village. For more information, visit www.volcanoartcenter.org.
