Reviews

Vicki is a great musician and thoroughly charming to deal with. Not afraid of work - in fact she loves it! Highly recommended, especially if you want Swedish folk music.

You guys were fanstastic this weekend. Thank you so much!. The backbone of our wedding and all the celebrations afterwards. So many people said how much they loved the dance!
