It was a real treat to have Rachel play guitar and sing at my 70th birthday party.
​
She has a beautiful voice and her guitar playing accompanies it perfectly. In advance, she enabled me to select songs that my guests would enjoy.
​
She was very aware of her audience and made a fabulous atmosphere for the party.
​
People greatly enjoyed her music and numerous guests remarked on how wonderful her performance was.
 
She created a marvelous connection with everyone in the room from the two year old to the ninety three year old. I highly recommend Rachel.

Rachel, is a captivating and versatile artist which we at Viking FM have featured at a diverse range of events.
 
She is as comfortable performing in front of an intimate crowd as she is in front of hundreds. 
 
We have often given Rachel a challenge whether it is performing an original set, a covers set, a Christmas set or even performing with a live band which she hadn't met until she stepped on stage! 
 
Rachel has performed at many Viking FM events and has always wowed the crowds including a performance in front of over 500 listeners when she starred on our "All at Sea" ferry trip to Amsterdam".
