"Another triumph for ace! I have been to all your concerts and think that The Best of ace was indeed one of your very best. Everyone looked as if they were enjoying themselves and the singing was superb. I did love the encore of Grease. A rousing finish to a wonderful evening of music. Long may you continue to entertain us."
Julia McIntosh (Glasgow)

Brian Rattray (Fife)
"Just had to drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed your show on Saturday. My friends and I came along at the last minute not knowing what to expect, and we were thrilled with the whole experience. Congratulations to everyone involved."
