Clare was absolutely brilliant! From start to finish she was kind, organised, professional and just great. When she arrived on the day she was lovely and just got right to setting up. When she started, it was incredible. Clare is a very talented musician and made our special day much more special. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed listening to Clare. I would certainly book Clare again.
