"Congrats on the clinic with Carl Palmer, he is
definitely the Guvnor, and a really nice bloke too."

Colin Appleby - "A real pleasure working with Carl and Frank.
The masterclass with Carl was truly inspiring and the performance
throughout the clinic was absolutely brilliant, the perfect balance
between education and inspiration. You cannot put a value on
the influence that these events generate for the current and
next generation of musicians."
Many thanks for a great event and all the best,

"We have had many fine players perform clinics for us
in the past; but Carl's clinic for us rates as one of
the best we have ever had. Carl's performance was an
excellent blend of technical skill and showmanship.
He's one of those people who really engage with an
audience of drummers, young or old."
Thanks again.
Regards,

I would just like to thank you both for a great presentation at
Truro College. It was good to see my students riveted to Carl
for such a long time. I know that they will have learnt a lot
from this day and I hope that it re-kindles the desire to practice.
I am lucky to have some very able drummers on my course
this year, and I feel that this may just have been the
catalyst that was needed.
Thanks again and hope we can do it again.
Regards

Thanks very much, again, to you and Carl for a fantastic day on the 23rd.
(Trust that the others have gone as well). I've put a cd in the post to you
with the photos that I took on the day, feel free to use any on the website.
Comments and feedback so far from the schools has been glowing.
Richard Thomas, Music Teacher at Bryn Celynnog said: ' 120 students
glued to their to every word. 11-18 years old, mixed ability - excellent.
Totally stimulating to the point that the school has made investigations
into hiring a peripatetic drum tutor. When are you coming back'
Helena Johns, Technology Teacher at Y Pant;'the pupils were buzzing.
They thoroughly enjoyed the experience.'
Richard Jones, Yr 9 at Y Pant: ' After attending the masterclasss
I've been practising for two hours a day, just like Carl said to'
Terry Thomas, EBP Co-ordinator: 'to have someone of the calibre
and stature of Carl Palmer visit schools would be more than enough to
inspire the pupils, to have him talk for an hour and then tutor for
another hour has inspired and motivated them beyond measure.
Carl has a gift for not only entertaining, which a lot of people can do,
but also for holding their attention by his knowledge and humour.
A master at his craft and a superb communicator - who could ask for more'.
Thanks again for all your hard work in organising from your end. I look
forward to the next meeting.
Terry
PS My son still hasn't recovered from the day and is still
talking about it.

I left an hour after you did and the school was still buzzing.
I have to thank Carl for such a fantastic day, one that will
stick for so long I think in the minds of the children who
took part. I know a good number of youngsters - from St Bede's
want to write their own thanks to Carl and their appreciation
of the day. Our Headteacher, Paul Martin, wants to add his thanks
to Carl for bringing such a memorable day into the lives
of so many children.
Garry
