What are People Saying?

'And then Ruth Mahogany took the floor. If there was a poetic contest on the night, Mahogany would perhaps have taken it judging by the sheer exuberance of cheers that greeted her performance of ‘A Child Before a Mirror of Strangers’, ‘You Look at Me’ and ‘Civilian and Soldier’. She performed with the accompaniment of background, sombre music. She was indeed a breath of natural poetic freshness that helped to brighten the night.'
'Throughout the evening, Ruth Mahogany and her band took the audience on an exciting and enriching musical journey.
