Thank you Anita! Such a wonderful surprise, yes you made the bride shed a tear..... We loved your style and variety of music, the Disney songs were an added bonus. A lovely way to begin the wedding party celebrations. Thank you for your great communication and promote arrival, everything went perfectly and the sunshine turned up too! We would highly recommend Anita. Many thanks. The Murray Family

Anita was simply fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was so positive and friendly. Anita was very efficient setting up and doing her sound check. We were decorating the room for the party in the evening so were around during this time. Anita asked the room if anyone had any suggestions and somebody shouted out ‘baby shark’ as we had our toddlers around at this time. Even though Anita didn’t know it (well, who would!) she looked it up to play and sing it. It made a two, three and five year olds day; they danced around whist Anita sang. I realise performing babyshark will not be in the top of most people’s list but this just shows but it is just an example of how fun loving and kind Anita is. In the evening Anita was very prompt and wowed the group immediately with her incredible piano playing, playing some beautiful classical music as well as pop classics. Anita was fundamental in creating the perfect ambience for the 40th birthday party we were hosting. Every guest commented on what a talented pianist she is and a beautiful singer. I could not recommend Anita more highly. She is the epitome of professional, has a huge and varied repertoire and is just a truly likeable person. Book her now, you will not be disappointed.

You really made dads party a night to remember. I loved the way you adapted yourself to the guests be young or old and played a very good selection of songs that had them up dancing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to friends for a similar event. Thanks very much Carol

5) I loved hearing you play at my Mum’s funeral last December. I was over the moon when I learned from the funeral director that you were free to play for the family. You really made that day special for me in the way you played ‘Morning has Broken’ just the way Rick Wakeman played it for Cat Stevens! This was my Mum’s favourite hymn and you did her proud! Thank you! Sue Hannah
