Performance Reviews

Dear Ivor,
Thank you so much for playing for us on Wednesday. What a fabulous concert! Everyone enjoyed those toe-tapping tunes. You're a really good guitarist. I especially enjoyed your own compositions. The first one resonated with me as I too love the Lincolnshire Wolds. You never know, if you'd asked the audience to join in the chorus I think they would have done. We're quite a shy, reticent bunch at Allegro unless encouraged! The variety of your programme was very good. You gave us the sad, lyrical along with the lively ones and included Bob Dylan too for all of us oldies.
I will tell Alan that you are free any date next year to come again. We look forward to it.
All the best,
Kate, April 2022 (Allegro Appassionato)

Belated thanks for a terrific concert in March.
Photos are attached. Let me know if you have any difficulty in downloading them.
I hope you would like to make a return visit next year.
Best wishes,
Alan, May 2018 (Allegro Appassionato)
