Hi Maz & Co (Pam, Keith, Mark & Agnelo)

Derrick Pereira - HAPC Chairman,

Relatives & Friends

Thank you for inviting me to perform with your fabulous band MAZ & Co at New Year's Eve Gala Ball.

I certainly enjoyed playing alongside all great musicians of your band, and to be on-stage with young Mark Read from the famous 'A1' group was very special.

Congratulations to you all for putting together great lively entertainment programme all night from 7.00 pm to 2.00 am., which was greatly enjoyed by everyone who attended the great event well organised to the highest standards with nothing spared. Bringing in the New Year was just dynamite.

As a token of remembrance of this great event bringing in the New Year 2013, I have put together a little blog spot titled "diamondmazco" with some photographs and video clips. (As you are a also a member of the famous London based function band 'Diamond', I felt the blog address diamondmazco would be appropriate).

I must not fail to convey my Congratulations to Derrick, his family and committee members for all their great work in putting together this fabulous function at a plush venue. President Flavio Gracias said it all in his speech.

P.S. Unfortunately I am having difficulties loading all the video clips (9 in total) but managed just two at the moment. Hopefully I will succeed to complete my little gift to you and your team. If you have any photographs taken by any members of your band, do forward which I would like to add to this blog spot titled MAZ&Co

Only regret is that I could not place my little video camera more in the front to capture the dance floor as there was no space and equally with the camera at the back, I lost the proper sound especially the bass so the video clips are just for fun. Towards the end bringing in New Year, I focused the camera onto the dance floor so you will see the real action, again it was impossible to focus on all the 800 folks having a great time.

I also wish to convey my wife's special Congratulations to you all for your fabulous entertainment and equally to Derrick HAPC Chairman for organising this great event. She had a great time and it was wonderful being able to stay overnight at the hotel which was very comfortable making it a lovely New Year's Eve night bringing in New Year after going to bed at 4.00 am.

Keep up your great performance as an all-round musician entertaining with your guitar & great voice. Your friendly happy personality is loved by all.

My thanks goes to the rest of the team with special reference to Mark who excelled in all departments, his great keyboard playing and his golden voice was out of this world. What a Star to have in the team.
