A big thank you for the lovely music you provided for us on Saturday. So many people have said what great music it was and how well it fitted the occasion.

Alice, you and John were absolutely fantastic at our Christmas lunch. To quote from our members: “absolutely fabulous; wonderful carols with Alice; where did you find her, book her for next year; one of the best ever.” I can’t say anymore – one of the best decisions we have made was having you at the NAT Christmas festivities.
