Unsolicited email sent to me by Ken Forrest (Finance Director of Lenzie Golf Club), after the Hogmanay Hoot at Lenzie Golf Club:

Good morning Jay,

Just a note to say that we have had excellent feedback following our Hogmanay Hoot last week, many thanks for all your efforts to make this a success, which was much appreciated by all those who attended ...

I have been asked to make a provisional booking with you for next year, appreciate well in advance but if you can take this now then that sort of gets it done and dusted so to speak.

Let me know what you think, will see you in March in any event for the Curling Club Dinner dance.

Regards,

Ken

Hello Jay,

I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your singing at Claymore Hotel earlier this week, I bought your C.D although I haven't had the time to listen to it yet seeing I've only been home a couple of hours. I must say the ballads are your best songs I was amazed by them I would love an album of you singing just ballads.

Thank you again,

Kathryn

Good day Jay, 

 I was at the Claymore Hotel last week and saw your gig there on Wednesday. It was excellent!! Thanks for a great show. Terrific choice of songs, beautifully sung and splendid guitar playing. I would imagine the development of the Line 6 Variax range is a great boon to performers like yourself who incorporate a wide variety of pieces in their gigs ... Thanks again for the great show. 

 Cheers, 

Geoff Tate

From Jim Allardyce, after a performance at The Park Hotel, Falkirk, Scotland:

As Honourary President and District No.3 Representative (NODA), Margaret and I attended the 60th Anniversary Dinner Dance of Falkirk Bohemians. Some short speaches were followed by an excellent cabaret performance by Jay Jackson, with songs from a variety of musicals. Dancing (also played for by Jay) commenced after the cabaret into the wee, small hours. An excellent evening all round.
