This is the second time Poppy has been with us. She is always a professional, arriving in good time,setting up and starting her first set quickly. Her voice and song choices again suited our audience. We will be re-booking Poppy again in the future

Poppy Holiday was fantastic for our Centenary Party in November 2022.From chatting on the phone and great communication she understood exactly what we wanted and was so great to hear her excited too. She arrived and nothing was too much trouble. Poppy adapted the songs to suit our audience and quickly got everyone interacting and got us up dancing with her interactive games which was great for our service users but also catered for the rest of the audience. Poppy had everyone singing!! We have also recommended her to another charity too and on a personal level have asked her for more performances!

We had the pleasure of Poppy helping us to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday. We chose Poppy as we had previously enjoyed her set in a local pub on New Year’s Eve and Valentines weekend. Poppy entertained our family and friends and most definitely impressed. The evening was a blast the varied games and vast variety of songs sang had the dance floor bouncing. I highly recommend Poppy and would most definitely book her again.
