Private performance
17 March 2025
I played for a private performance at Sandbach Masonic Hall on Sunday 23 March 2025.
The organiser said: "His music was enjoyed by all and he set the scene wonderfully for what was an excellent event. There were many compliments made as to how appropriate the harp was to the event and what lovely music he played. I know several people approached him directly, no doubt to congratulate him. "
