‘The whole audience were up dancing and it really lifted the atmosphere.’
Heather Small and her backing singers put on such a stunning performance, Heather sounded and looked amazing. The song choices were great, it was fantastic entertainment and Heather was pleasure to meet on the night. Despite a minor sound issue with her sound engineer the performance was seamless and she really got the party started. Heather made the ‘in the round’ performance work and interacted with all of our audience.
Heather met my objectives exactly. Her opening song fitted in well with the theme of the event. I think the audience were a little shell shocked when they realised it was actually Heather on stage, I think they needed a bit more warming up as people seemed nervous to get up and dance, but just before she did the last song she spoke to the audience and got them up on their feet which was fantastic – the whole audience were up dancing and it really lifted the atmosphere.
