Beautiful Music

Katie provided beautiful music at our Church wedding at St Bernadette’s in Whitefield. Katie played the fiddle for the walk down the aisle to ‘how long will I love you’ which was beautiful. Katie played the piano for our hymns and we left the Church to Oasis ‘Whatever’. Katie is fantastic. Highly recommend
