Testimonials

Thank you for singing so beautifully again for us. It is always lovely to welcome you at Botley.  David

The variety and excellent standard of performance has been a great joy to us all.  Betty

Thank you so much for coming to my late husband's memorial service to sing On Eagles Wings. This was a hymn that Mark and I loved but I have never heard it sung so beautifully. You have an outstanding voice and I felt very privileged to have you there to sing it.   Marie

I am very happy to recommend Melanie, as a solo singer with a lovely voice, instinctive musicianship and that vital ability to communicate with her audience.

Melanie has a beautiful soprano voice - sweet-toned and crystal-clear. She is a pleasure to work with and utterly professional, both musically and in all other respects.   David Burgess
