Sally-Ann Dickinson, , none (August, 2015)

“What a super entertainment he gave us at our Annual Supper yesterday. He gave us an hours programme ranging from classical guitar music through to the Beatles. It was much appreciated by our members to the point of how quiet they all were listening and then the applause that he received at the end of each piece. His whole performance was very professional and we would certainly recommend him. ”
