Lesley Locke Violinist
"Lesley was wonderful. Such a talented Violinist. No fuss, turned up early and set everything up very efficiently. The sounds quality was amazing.
It was a surprise for my grandparents and they loved it. She played their song for them, and my grandmother nearly missed it! When she arrived back Lesley kindly played it for them again so they could dance to it. It was a beautiful moment.
There was 11 of for the private dinner party. Every guest said that Lesley made the evening. I would highly recommend and would book again in a heart beat!"
