What others thought about Simple Times:

“Wow. Your show was tremendous.”

“I thought it had humour, sadness, happiness, memory and a sort of gentle acceptance of the way life was then. So many of the songs were part of my teenage years too, that I have danced to, sung to, sobbed to when rejected” Jill

“You are a superb performer. You owned that stage, and yes you have a fab voice.” Christine
