In January, daughter Iona, singing and playing her electric harp, qualified for the semi-finals of 'The Next Big Thing'. This is a talent competition run by International Confex, a major exhibition for the events industry http://www.international-confex.com/. Last week I became an elderly roadie when I carted all her kit up to the Excel exhibition centre in London!
There was great excitement on Tuesday when she got through to the finals, but even more on Thursday when she actually won the whole competition! She receives £1000 to spend on her mother, a stand at next year's Confex, and a contract with events agency Sternberg-Clarke http://www.sternbergclarke.co.uk/
Here she is getting her mitts on the obligatory bottle of champagne presented by the compere ...
....... and here is an article with video clips by Event Magazine ...
Wow, congrats to Iona & the proud Mum ;D
