  latest gig review (The Icarus Club (London)
  Greetings,
  Well a grand night was had by all, what a lovely intimate venue, it was great to see so many people there and some regular supporters! Thanks so much for coming and I hope to see you at The Spice of Life Feb 19th (Soho)
  
  Some great gigs coming up as you can see and a fabulous all female singer songwriter show is being organised in Southend with part of the proceeds going to charity, July /August time (watch this Space) so should be a massive night with some great talent.
  
  See you soon.
