Chimera's Reviews

We met yesterday you played A Thousand Years to us for myself and my mum. We were absolutely blown away and would to have you play for us on our Wedding Ceremony.

I listened to your Recital at Great Witley Church, which we both enjoyed. It was so refreshing to see such talent in young people.
