Shipston Proms, 2023 was an incredible surprise and opportunity as a performing artist. The show was well organised and well run. The basis of which is community and charity driven. When I performed for Shipston Proms Introducing, my intention was to sing my heart out, and connect with people – honestly, I had not read the memo, that it was a competition to perform on the last night of Shipston Proms 2023. On the night, the sound was excellently engineered, sound check prompt and overall smooth sailing. People living in the area appeared, and celebrated too. It was an evening not to forget.
