"Dear
Sara, Thank you SO much for singing so beautifully yesterday! Everyone
loved your performance, especially the birthday girl: my 100 year
old grandmother! She loved the surprise, she loved the pieces you
sang for her and she raved about your voice - she said you had "the
voice of an angel". I really wanted to be there myself, but you
made it just as special. Thank you so much for your wonderful communication
- you made it so easy to book you from all the way over here in
Oz - and for your talent and professionalism. Perhaps we will meet
one day when I pop over - I know I owe you a bottle of wine! Do
let me know of any concerts you're singing in and I will pass the
info on to Eve."
- Thank you so much Sara, Love Sally xxxx |

She is happy to work with musicians whom you’ve arranged independently,

"Dear Sara, We
are all still talking about how wonderful you were today. You
have without exception been praised for your beautiful voice,
particularly Michaela's song....my father was so touched that
you learned that for him and we were all very moved by your performance...I
think pretty much everyone had a tear in their eye. We have had
many requests from our friends for your details and I sincerely
hope you will deservingly secure further bookings after today.
I would recommend you highly and I have been very impressed with
the personal service you gave being so understanding and patient
in finalising the programme for us, so that experiences like this
come out of the corporate realm and make a 70 year old man and
his friends very very happy. Kind regards and heartfelt thanks.
