I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you again for singing for us on Friday. You really do have a fantastic voice and I mean it when I say your presence really did make our day even more special. It was exactly what we wanted and more and pretty much every single person I spoke to during the day commented on how great you were. I will not hesitate to recommend you, should I ever get the chance to do so and please, please let me know if you are ever singing locally, as we would love to come and see you sing again soon.

I was born and raised in Shirley, a suburb of Solihull, here in the UK; and I've been very thankful for a good grounding and start in life - we've always been a close family.
