Dear Grenville,
I recently heard this heavenly music while doing my water aerobics at St.Joseph's villa. Upon leaving the pool I immediately enquired about the CD that was playing and found out it was yours. Coincidently, I know your sister Christabel from Community theatre that I was involved in. I ordered it and received it within days. I just had to tell you how much I am enjoying it. Each piece becomes my favourite as I am listening. You have such a wonderful selection and variety on this CD. I intend on ordering a few more as gifts for some of my violin-loving friends and family. I hope to paint and meditate while listening . Anyway I just wanted you to know how music I am enjoying listening to you play and congratulate you .

Sincerely,
Donna Dobroski

Thanks Grenville for a wonderful performance, as always. My boss from Montreal (she came up to greet you and congratulate you – blond lady) was so very much impressed. She said if they have an event in Montreal they would love to have you perform there.

I'd like to thank you for not only performing at the North Sylva's dinner on Sunday night, but for playing my most favourite song "Bleed It Out" and for the autograph--hugely appreciated! You did incredible, and my mom has purchased your music for us all to listen to! Thanks again and best of luck to you in the future!

P.S. We can remember seeing you perform at the NS dinner two years ago! It was terrific! 😀

Once again and amazing performance at the Emma-Rose Gala. Thank you so much. See you in two years.

Hi Grenville,

Thank you so much for playing at our event last night. Your performance was awesome - people have been asking me “Where did you find this guy?" 🙂
They enjoyed your performance very much and were impressed with your song choices. Your performance definitely contributed to the success of our event.

It has been a pleasure meeting you and I hope that we will have an opportunity to have you back again.

Best regards,
Marylin

I caught your act at the "Taste of the Kingsway" today -- in spite of the rain/drizzle (I was standing to your left, blue jeans and blue hat, white hair).

I thoroughly enjoyed the music and especially your interpretation of some of the more recent tunes out there (Gahnam style). You made that violin sing! I wish you continued success!!

I attended Franco and Angela Esposto's wedding last night and totally enjoyed your music. You are such a talent and truly turned what was already a fantastic day into a more fantastic day! I will be talking about your spectacular performance for a long, long, time!!!!

Pinto,

Your violin skills are on par with the ability of Moses to split millions of gallons of water in a lmind bending, wish I understood more about physics because I have no idea how this shit is happening right now kind of way. The Beiber song really did it for me. The moonwalk sealed the deal. For a minute, I seriously asked myself if it was really MJ re incarcerated as the sickest violin player ever. No, it was just Pinto.

Come at me bro.

Hi Grenville
I meant to message you earlier but I have been too busy with family visitors from Portugal for post-wedding vacation.
I wanted to thank you for your excellent performance during Katrina's wedding. Everyone loved it. You did a great job.
Your CDs have now travelled to Italy where our friends will delight many other people with your music. My sister is also excited to take your cds Portugal
If you ever need an audience count on us, and we would love to get any new future cds if possible
Have a nice summer. Regards,
John

Hi Grenville Just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding on June 1, 2013 Our Guests truly loved you. My boss Alan actually booked you for the very next day to play at his house for his wife's bday party. :)) Again thank you very much you are awesome. Gianni and Rosie Lamanna 🙂

Just would like you to know, I saw you at the Food & Drink Fest this past weekend. You have a great talent under your belt. I am a gourmet culinarian and was at the show for business. But had to stop and watch you for about 20min I purchased one of your CD's the compilation. it's beautiful I also put a small plug in for you on my blog. I look forward to ordering another one. I have some upcoming events and will definitely keep you in mind.Great performance my friend great performance.

Hi Grenville,

OH MY GOSH...do you know the awesome reviews that I got from your performance? Everyone and I mean everyone loved your performance.
I don't know what to say other than THANK YOU for making my event the talk of the town. They absolutely loved it.

Pat can't get over you playing AC/DC on your violin and behind your legs of all things. I had to email you now because we just popped in the CD that you gave us and I was listening to "Apologize" and your rendition of "Just Dance" is fabulous! You are one talented man! We will definitely have you back one of these years. Pat would love to have you back and he also said it would be nice if we could choreograph a dance to one of your songs. So it would be really cool to have you play and we would dance along. ..I just thought I would write and let you know that all of the people that I spoke to were more than right when they said you weren't good but that you were amazing!

Keep up the great work. I will refer you to any friends that may require your services. My mom absolutely loved you and so did everyone else at the fundraiser. I can't wait to replay the video that Greg took so that Pat and I can enjoy your talent. Thank you so much as well for dedicating the songs that I had requested. I loved when you came to my table to play "Coldplay" and the GNR was awesome and so was the AC/DC. I used to be into rock music back in my younger years then I switched over to dance but now Pat is getting me back into the "right side" and I am slowly getting back into the rock genre. So I was very impressed at what you could do on your violin! Keep up the amazing work! You are definitely AWESOME!

Hi Grenville!

I had to write you as I didn't get the chance to say hello or thank you at my wedding on Saturday. I'm so sorry I didn't catch you. You played absolutely beautifully and I was so thrilled that I was able to walk down the aisle to that exciting part of Chasing Cars! It was truly an amazing moment for me, and I can't thank you enough for working with me to make it happen. My guests raved about you, and i hear there were quite a few tears during the processional! So thank you so much!

....
Thanks!!

Hi Grenville

Mark and I wanted to send our sincerest gratitude for the amazing performance at our wedding. Guests were blown away. You balanced the performance - tailoring it to the older and younger crowds. People were left wanting more ... many inquired about your contact information for their own events. Your MJ tribute was unexpected and fabulous.

Once again - thank you.

Cheers!
