she was just seventeen. By the time she was twenty she was writing number ones for the biggest
acts in rock ‘n’ roll, including the Drifters, The Shirelles, Aretha Franklin and the Monkees. But her
greatest challenge was to find her own voice and finally step into the spotlight.

whole experience, the sights and sounds, parades and light shows that create the place ‘where dreams come true’. Located at Marne-la-Vallée, Disneyland Resort Paris has
three parts: the main Disneyland Park, the adjacent Walt Disney Studios, and the hotels, shops and restaurants of Disney Village. You will have a ticket that covers both the

Just to say thank you for the hire of your lovely vintage coach,
it was certainly a fantastic way to travel to church for my

This vehicle featured in the 2009 British film “The Damned United”.

Thank you for the vintage Bedford coach you provided for our
wedding in August 2015. It provided a unique touch to our
special day, the coach was in immaculate condition, spotlessly
