“I am a very regular visitor to Warners – especially Alvaston Hall and I felt compelled to send you an email regarding Paul da Vinci and his band. I think he rates as probably the best live band that I have experienced during many (always enjoyable) hotel breaks with Warners. I know the standard is generally high – but this band were exceptional. This is not just my opinion – I have never heard so much positive feedback from all the other guests that experienced this splendid performance. I also had the pleasure to meet Paul da Vinci after the performance; this band is top notch!!”
