Booked for Corporate Function

Alicia was awesome. She has a great voice, and a lovely personality which everyone warmed to. Her repertoire was really good and she had everyone up and dancing from the very first number. Her communication pre-event was very good and she turned up promptly on the night and was professional throughout. Would strongly recommend her to anyone planning an event for a broad age range of people, with a particular emphasis on dance music and classic disco.
