‘I have been very fortunate to have Anita as my Principal Bass player in the Skaparis Orchestra as she is a fantastic player, a great leader and someone that others look to for guidance and inspiration. On tour with Gary Numan and the Skaparis Orchestra she exemplified herself and helped to create the incredible energy that was needed for the success of the project and I thoroughly recommend her as a highly distinguished person of formidable character’
