Comments
'As
I said to you
on the night,
it has been
a while since
I have personally
seen such a
positive reaction
from an audience
at the Brewhouse.
As I came out
of the auditorium,
I could here
people’s
reactions and
the word 'breathtaking'
was mentioned
several times.
It was a joy
to watch performers
who so obviously
enjoy performing!'
