John Cheney - One Man Band - Crawley, South East Event Location: Horsham, West Sussex Event Type: Senior citizens event 29th June 2023

Well done – what a star you are! What a wonderful review 😊 “Good morning all, We had the lovely John Cheney entertain us at Westlake House, Horsham yesterday. It was a lovely afternoon and we all had a wonderful time! Great choice of songs and compilations which were very appropriate for the audience! One particular gentleman who would normally just quietly observe, sang along to all the songs, which was very special for us! He commented that you could have a 17 piece band that wouldn't sound as good as John! He was quite disappointed when the music finished, so John kindly did another one for him. Complimentary comments received from residents and staff on John's performance. Thank you John and thank you Mack for arranging this on another of our short notice requests! Kind regards, Jenny.” Thanks so much!
