What a Fantastic section AED National Finals Eastbourne 17-21yrs Musical Theatre. 👏👏👏👏
Carrie Atkins’s performance was PHENOMENAL, she brought tears to my eyes and looked so beautiful. It was absolutely stunning.
No place today Carrie but you will always be my winner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was lovely to catch up with Nichola Deacey, former Riley student who now has her own school in Cornwall, her pupil keera, also gave a very professional performance, beautiful voice.
Nichola reminded me that she’d performed in the National Finals with her Musical Theatre for the Riley School 21yrs ago. What a moment sitting together and watching our pupils SHINE on that stage. Truly Magical. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
