"Your performance was amazing. Opening with Get The Party Started, you certainly did that. When you emerged from back stage wearing the authentic costume we thought you were miming to Shirley's record! Absolutely fantastic, all the mannerisms and class of Shirley Bassey. Thank you so much for getting our launch party started, nothing was too much trouble for you. You are such a professional!
