I can’t recommend Talisha enough! She made my 40th birthday an absolute blast. Amazing set, amazing voice and accompanied by an amazing sax player! I’ve received countless compliments from guests on how fabulous she was. Before the event Talisha was so helpful in working out a plan for how I wanted the night to run, with helpful suggestions, and totally put my mind at ease. On the night I didn’t need to think about a thing, she managed everything seamlessly with the venue.
