Even though we’d not managed to see you as much over the last couple of years, I have so many very happy memories of singing with you in the Tower, & also when you came to sing in Carmina in Bahrain - your Yorkshire sense of humour & amazing voice endeared you to all those that met & had lessons with you during the course of your stay. Your patience, and vast knowledge of Bel Canto technique has given me solid foundations & the confidence to perform on a regular basis & to pass on some of that knowledge in my teaching & adjudicating in Bahrain. You will be greatly missed by myself & Graham (aka ‘Biggles’ ) Erika x
