Hi there,
Big thanks to your team and Soraya. It was fantastic and everyone commented on her talent. Thanks again.
Morning David,
I just wanted to pass on my feedback of Soraya.
We have booked her a couple of times for events now, she is so professional and such a talented lady.
She always arrives on time with the most beautiful harp I have ever seen and really added the finishing touch to last night’s event.
She really is wonderful.
Thanks
