Our night was amazing thanks, we thought you were awesome and the feedback from our guests was great too, everyone loved you. A lot of people were asking who you were and where we’d got you from, told them to get down to the Christmas markets as that was where we’d heard you first. You sounded amazing, especially in that room with the great acoustics.
