Witty, excellently-written, informative, timely review which captured the spirit of the evening! And so great to meet you at last!! Teresa D
What a great job you guys do writing up these events in such a timely way... I am sure it helps keep the music scene alive and thriving and encourages people to go along and take part or listen. And what a great venue The Globe is!! So welcoming (and that goes for all the musicians and audience and organisers too).
