“Sandra Sumner:what a star! Just had the best birthday party ever. Sandra has an amazing voice and endless energy. She has a great personality and enticed my family and friends into dancing almost immediately with a great mix of favourite and iconic songs. I don’t think I left the dance floor all evening. A fab evening with an excellent entertainer. Thanks, Sandra ❤️ See you next year

We hired Sandra for a surprise 60th birthday in a local restaurant. Sandra was professional from start to finish, asking relevant questions as to preferred genre and atmosphere to be created. Oh what a night we had. The food was delayed and Sandra saved the day. She looked and sounded stunning. Got everyone in the party mood, even got my shy brother up dancing. The play list was spot on from start to finish. Would definitely hire again!
