What our LCV travellers say
One way to describe the fantastic week in Greece would be holidays with a soundtrack: Picture waking up to a tasty Greek breakfast, a swim in the pool and then rehearse by the shadow of an olive tree… pure bliss. Our holidays repertoire included fun and uplifting songs such as “Walking on Sunshine”, “Everywhere”, and songs from Abba. The group was a friendly fun bunch from all different backgrounds but everyone got along so well creating this a really good atmosphere. And of course there was the singing, the main link between everyone which created several opportunities to sing your heart out, from the restaurants, the beach or the boat, a late acoustic session by the pool and the concert by the harbour square, exactly what you should expect from a singing holiday! And of course John, which I think without anyone’s much expectations, went above and beyond organising activities for the group in the lovely island of Spetses, including a boat trip, a pool party with caterers, organising the day-to-day restaurants, and of course all the transfers, making the holiday for everyone so stress free, the attention and care John dedicated is without doubt one of the reasons this holiday so enjoyable. Thanks Richard and John, this holiday proved to be such a good idea, definitely went above all expectations, can’t wait for more!

I wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you for such an incredible experience. Everyone gelled so well together; such warmth…. and so much fun. I feel privileged to have been part of such a ‘family’. John; your superb organisational skills and calm manner made everything run smoothly, making sure none of us had anything to worry about. We were looked after from the word go. Great accommodation, wonderful restaurants, superb boat trip, and transfers that came on time… where would we have been without you? Richard; your talent and love of music created a relaxed and joyous atmosphere which enabled me to switch off from everything except the moment. It was an unforgettable experience to learn new songs in such a wonderful setting. You chose music that suited the mood and the environment perfectly. Performing in front of that lovely hotel with the sun going down was truly spectacular. Magic!
