Cris was performing together with a double-bass player at our lovely Bedroom Bar and their performance was amazing. If you would like to create the great luxury/romantic/glass-of-wine atmosphere for your customers/visitors/audience, you should definitely contact Cris. Amazing voice, amazing vibes.

Saw Cris with her trio last Saturday at the Bun and Bar along Green Lanes. They were wonderful. They worked really hard and created a very lovely atmosphere at the venue. Thank you so much. All the friends I brought along thoroughly enjoyed it. Mandy Mandy Hawting
