Karen it was wonderful to have the opportunity to work with you this year and to hear your beautiful voice close up!

Spirit of Christmas concert, QPAC, Brisbane

I would like to congratulate you on your new CD Solid Ground. On first listen I immediately felt a connection to it. The words are deeply meaningful and I feel your connection to Mother Earth which also makes me feel a connection too. I already love nature but your CD has bought it to another level. I cant decide which song is my favourite as I hear something else in each song every time I listen to it which is everyday as it stays in my car but ‘The Birds’ and the title track are pretty special. I just felt like letting you know that you’ve done an astounding job on this CD and I look forward to seeing you live at one of your shows. Michael

It felt like we were transported out of the venue into a beautiful, safe place. It was almost sacred in it’s delivery. Sharon
