You played beautifully at The Kingscote Barn - Wedding venue and it was lovely to talk to you. Would highly recommend you to anyone considering some ambiance to their special occasion.

The concert was delightfully enhanced by the support of local 16 year old Lucy Bishop. Still at school, studying for A levels, Lucy has been accepted into the Junior Royal School of Music. Her first half performance on a full sized Italian concert harp, expertly played at a level well above her age and experience included Clement: Sonatina – Allegro, Andante and Vivace and the Skye Boat Song. No less wonderfully played, the second half included Pachelbel’s – Canon in D, Yiruma – River flows in you, featured on the album ‘First Love’ and an Ed Sheeran and Snow Patrol member Johnny McDaid composition – Photograph. The Choir and audience responded to Lucy’s performance with several rounds of rapturous applause throughout and at the end of the concert. http://www.caldicotmalevoicechoir.co.uk/?p=14135&fbclid=IwAR2o8cIcVTsfzCX99fU22jrE0R65KiHRARoT_A4EklfjZM1zimVWh-j8kLA
