A delighted Hollie after singing at the 180th Anniversary Event of the acclaimed watchmakers, Jaeger le Coultre |
A few days before Hollie left for Hong Kong, Elise Walsh, who backed the idea for Hollie to perform in July's Pipes and Drums Extravaganza sent an email to us saying:
"I wish Hollie all the best in Hong Kong. With such talent, she deserves to explore the world", she finished.
Steve Hitchings, Head of Key Stage 5 at Grange Park School, also sent his best wishes to Hollie before the start of the trip.
We are unable to confirm details of the concert staged on Tuesday, but we do have details for the Wednesday.
Hollie was the surprise item at the 180th Anniversary Event of a prestigious watchmakers, as seen in the picture above. After due consideration, the songs selected were Wishing you were Somehow Here Again from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, the famous Somewhere Over the Rainbow, a tune associated with the Wizard of Oz, I Could have Danced All Night from the film My Fair Lady and the traditional Christmas carol O Holy Night.
Hollie received a tremendous reception at the end of her performance, and flew back to England yesterday to prepare for the Christmas Holidays.
Hollie has had a busy and varied year performing with the City of Rochester Pipe Band, Sapphire the English Rose and singing at the Voice in a Million Showcase in London.
The year ahead is looking very exciting with a series of very special events on the horizon. More information on these will be available in due course.
We look forward to continuing to work with Hollie throughout the coming year.
With best wishes to you all,
Chris Nelson and Hollie Steel
