Testimonials

                       Some things people have said about my work - thanks to all!


Workshops:

"The children thoroughly enjoyed them, as did the adults! You are an excellent facilitator, and I really appreciated the way you adapted the sessions to fit the changing mood of the group and to their interests and abilities throughout the day. You were able to harness their energy into productivity, and I believe that the children came away having had fun, made friends and learnt about Respect and communication - which were the objectives! They were able to tap into their creativity, guided by you. You have a beautiful, strong yet gentle spirit, and this was evident throughout the sessions and in how you interacted with the children. I have to say you have an impressive amount of energy!"             
              - Becca Adshead, PDREC Senior Children & Family Worker, on "Art Workshop for Children."

"It was great to have Anairda run a creative session for our Plymouth Autism Hub. She brought loads of natural, inspirational materials with her and the group had a great time. People have already asked if she can come again!"

Music:

"Anairda is an exceptional performer: she expresses so much depth and breadth of character - love, humour, anger, reflectiveness, playfulness, joy. I love it."
                                                                    - Mark Gardiner, The Zebra Collective

"Anairda is a fantastic guitarist, singer and songwriter who perform these gorgeous, well constructed and deeply radical songs."

"Very few can capture the poetic emotion in life in measurable palpitations; that's what Anairda always did for me with her songs - a ride to my own center... And beautifully."
