Hi Ann, We both wanted to send you a short message to thank you for playing the organ for our wedding day last month! Both during the service, and afterwards watching it back on livestream, we hugely appreciated your beautiful playing, and it definitely contributed to the day feeling very special for us, and everyone else watching too! we know how much you invested in preparing for it too, so just wanted to pass on our real appreciation. Best wishes, Jon and Monica

Ann, I want to send a more thoughtful "Thank You" for your stunning performance at the (online) concert last weekend. I know you were a bit apprehensive about how it would sound (on Zoom) but as it happens, it came across very well. Listening to the recording of (Fiocco's) Allegro again has reminded me just what a brilliant piece of music it was. it was easy to listen to and yet it had all the bravura of a major work... I think everyone realised that you were accompanying yourself (using a pre-recorded piano part) and, to me, the balance seemed just right. It was nice that you wore an evening gown for your video, and your professionalism helped inspire the other performers too. You may have heard that the total amount raised by the concert was more than £3,500, so it was a worthwhile evening in every way.
