Caroline Richardson - Multi-Instrumentalist - Dartford, South East Event Location: Shaftesbury Theatre, London Event Type: MT Showcase 20th March 2024

Caroline is a lovely person to be in the room with, full of joy and brings a happy, positive buzz to the rehearsal room. At a time in production when my workload becomes potentially stressful having a joyous person in the band really helps diffuse tension.

Her playing was commented on by the wider members of the production company and sound management team, and it was enjoyed by further afield. I would happily work with her again and recommend her many a gig. She was a joy, radiated kindness, professionalism and calm at every turn.

Caroline was a pleasure to work with throughout Sweet Charity and always conducted herself in a mature and professional way. Given the challenges we faced with the scores, her clear preperation and dedication to the project was greatly appreciated. She responded well to notes and direction and her playing was always consistent and solid.
