Sorry I haven’t been in touch since getting back from Christchurch, but things have been flat out here. I just wanted to say that Anne-Marie was absolutely wonderful and everyone really enjoyed her music and I would recommend her to others. She’s such a lovely lady and very obliging and please pass on my big thanks to her to help make our launch a very successful event.
