Incredibly busy at yesterday’s wonderful Wedding Celebrations - sadly the downside is, (as it was yesterday), that at (most) Weddings/Gigs there’s never enough time to draw everyone that wants drawing!

As always, a HUGE thanks to my trusty Photographer, Minder and Roadie Anne Gilbert who managed to ‘grab’ a couple favourite ‘snaps’ 😃

21/06/2024

All ‘Prepped’ in readiness for tomorrow’s ‘Paper Caper’ over in Derby where I’ll be creating mayhem & mischief with my caricatures for more fabulous Wedding Celebrations!!

I had an absolutely brilliant time entertaining at Paige & Liam’s fabulous Wedding Celebrations last Saturday - we were made so very welcome by such fun loving guests that the 2 hour gig simply ‘melted away’ - but the ‘Icing’ on the cake (pardon the pun) being this fantastic email review/feedback (below) that I’ve just received! 😃

—————————-

THANK YOU

Good morning Andy

I just wanted to email to say a huge thank you for Saturday. The guests, and myself, were so happy with their caricatures they were brilliant and so entertaining.

Thank you again

Paige
