Tara's Reviews

Tara continues to be a real draw for the crowd at Louisa’s, she delivers a high energy performance every time and has the whole place rocking from start to finish!

Tara played for both our wedding ceremony and evening reception, for the ceremony she gave a really heartfelt acoustic performance and in the evening she had everyone on their feet and singing along
