Joanna's Reviews

From customers:

Ive had the priviledge to see Joanna Forest sing live many times and each time Im astounded by how amazing her voice is and what a lovely lady she is. The first time I met her she came running over to me and gave me a big hug. Each time I see her sing I have an amazing night. She's quickly become one of my favourite singers and look forward each time to seeing her sing again. If you have a chance to see Joanna sing live then I would go. You will be treated to one of the best nights ever.
