REVIEWS

'As I said to you on the night, it has been a while since I have personally seen such a positive reaction from an audience at the Brewhouse. As I came out of the auditorium, I could here peoples reactions and the word 'breathtaking' was mentioned several times. It was a joy to watch performers who so obviously enjoy performing!'
