Dear Lizzie
Just to say thank-you for a most excellent evening.I hope that at some point in the future you will be able to persuade Stuart Henderson to return. What a gem find you made there!
Also, loved for your lateral thinking about D-day. A very appropriate and warm tribute to a great singer..

The perfect balance between your exquisite singing and the remarkable skill of your colleagues in the trio produces a Gestalt (whereby the whole is greater than the sum of the parts)........... it was clear that your efforts were much appreciated by your audience - splendid!
The ciitizens of Loughborough and its environs are so lucky to have you and your colleagues in their midst!

Lizzie and Trevor are a wonderful duo, that are perfect for anything from the smallest to the largest venues! Lizzie's enchanting voice brings the American Songbook to life and Trevor is a most accomplished musician to accompany Lizzie's beautiful voice. My customers loved Lizzie and are very keen to see her again at The Needle & Pin in the near future.
