I just wanted to send through the amazing feedback I received about the Nikau Trio. It was a pleasure to have you play at the Next Woman of the Year awards last week and you set the mood for the evening perfectly. The members of the trio were so lovely and accommodating to work with, and the music was beautiful. When the occasion arises, I am sure I will be calling on you again.
