Alice gave an outstanding performance, working hard throughout the night to entertain us. Her harp music gave just the right amount of atmosphere to our St Andrew’s Day dinner in the Great Hall, without drowning out the guests’ conversation. The music choice was also very well thought out.

Alice had a delightful playlist that hit exactly the right note for the occasion and she herself was friendly and charming. We would definitely recommend her to future customers!
