Excellent show. Mel was outstanding, funny and the most amazing voice. She spoke to the audience and made us feel important. You could feel the music and the small hall atmosphere made the show intimate and personal.
Feel very honoured to be able to take part in this experience. My first small hall show.
Thanks
