Birthday Party - Acoustic Covers
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".
