Andrea was wonderful it was everything I had ever dreamed of she had a voice of an angel. She was so friendly and professional it was a complete joy to have her sing at our Golden Wedding anniversary. Everyone loved her thank you Andrea Lorraine and Brian.

You were fantastic at 'Take to the Streets'. I was truly blown away by your performance. Thank you so much for your professionalism and for being so great to work with. - Kaye Mahoney, Creative Producer & Performing Artist

For years I've wanted Andrea Tweedale Soprano to sing for me. A couple of weeks ago that finally happened! Andrea was the soprano soloist for the Johnson 'Missa Celebra' and she was sublime. Thank you Andrea.
