Hi David,
We got some great feedback on Tracey – really elevated the arrival experience for the guests. Thanks so much and look forward to working with you again soon 😊
Many thanks,
Olivia
PME team:
Tracey was just superb. What an engaging and friendly presence she brought to the room as she worked around each table and played into the hearts of people. A very musical friend of ours, also a fine musician, sang with Tracey for some time. Just on the fly. Wonderful. Others sparkled with joy as Tracey played something special to them - the Scots heritage was evident at a couple of tables naturally.
Also, she tolerated my jokes and was very generous in her responses.
Our timing went slightly over and so Tracey played for some extra time. I asked her to put through a charge for that.
Thanks for your excellent service. Greg
Hi Pete,
Tracey was amazing! So easy to deal with in these COVID times and everyone really loved her when she was playing live.

Hi Robyn,
Tracey was just wonderful thank you. She wore the perfect Christmassy frock, arrived promptly and entranced our members with her magical accordion playing and extensive repertoire. She is a really lovely girl with the most amazing smile and so talented. We didn’t take any photos sorry.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your enquiry. Tracey performed admirably and her bubbly demeanor and professional playing were the hit of the party. I am extremely happy with her performance and my guests were very impressed by her.
I have no qualms about recommending her as a performing artist to anyone who may enjoy some excellent accordion music played by a very obliging performer who can take requests and look like she is having a whale of a time herself.
Thank you.
