Tóra Wilson

As the entertainment manager of a Black Country beer festival, it was up to me to find acts who would be of interest to attendees. Tóra's performance caught my eye (ok, ears) but was potentially a gamble as we’d never had anyone similar. Nevertheless, gamble I did.

She arrived early, delightfully welcoming and set up quickly with our engineer. And then she began. WOW! It was absolutely incredible. Often festival performances may be seen as “background entertainment” but she stopped people dead in her tracks. I’ve never seen such interest and awe by attendees. Even the regional secretary (who isn’t shy in coming forward), said to me several months later, “That young lady who sang moved to me to tears. I’ve been to many beer festivals, seen many acts and she was by-far the best I’ve ever seen.” High praise but a reflection of many people’s opinion. She got a huge round of applause at the end, with many attendees coming up to pass her thanks. Throughout the day I received about a dozen or so compliments to her performance.

An absolute professional with an incredible vocal range, flexible to the music selection and a genuinely wonderful person to work with (I can compare to many in the past who are quite the opposite). My only regret is that it’s made the task of trying to find acts that are even better for the future, nigh on impossible.

Victoria had prepared well for the day and had done her best to prepare all the tracks requested by the family. She had a smile on her face from the moment she arrived and mixed well with all the guests. Her singing as expected was of a high standard and enjoyed by all. The best complement I can pay her is the fact that some of the younger guests (in their 20`s) and who had previously pronounced that they didn't like opera thoroughly enjoyed the experience stating that their favourite tracks were from operas. Victoria opened up a few closed minds. Good work!. It was also appreciated that she didn`t rush off after her set, but instead stayed for the champagne toast to my mother (90th birthday)
