"The compliments have been flying ever since your visit here last weekend. There have been so many comments about the wonderful quality of your singing, and what a fantastic sound you made in the Cathedral... Thank you again, and if you would like to come back at some point, do please let me know."
Sue Armstrong, Choirs Administrator, Winchester Cathedral
"We had a choir from [Belfast] at Winchester yesterday, Melisma... Only 8 of them but what a sound! Really impressed... Hope we get them back again when our choir is on holiday."

"Melisma were absolutely superb. I wish I could sing like that. Made me feel like hanging up my larynx with immediate effect! I'll look out for the new cd."

OH WHAT A
NIGHT!
The Studio, Waterfront Hall, Saturday 26 January 2008
In a packed Waterfront Studio last night an enthusiastic audience gave a standing ovation to Melisma and their musical collaborators Hooker and Sinfonietta at the end of a unique evening's music-making that truly deserved the title ECLECTION. Melisma sang audience favourites such as "Sure on this Shining Night" and "Sleep" alongside Beatles and ABBA covers and joined forces with Hooker and Sinfonietta to perform ELO's "Mr Blue Sky" and a medley from the Beatles "Abbey Road" album. Jenny wowed the audience with a performance of Gershwin's "The Man I love" whilst Mark's stunning rendition of Queen's "Somebody to Love" went down a storm.
