Hi,
I would like to present to you, Carmen Souza, a Luso-Cape-verdean singer/songwriter/musician based in London.
I can send you her cd for review and would be a pleasure if you would be interested to attend her next concert at the London African Music Festival in 20 September.
I look forward to your reply.
All the best

I discovered your blog after seeing your review of Limelight. We are working with a contemporary classical event series based in London and I’d be delighted to send through more info and invite you to events if you could drop me an email with your contact details.
Many thanks,
Victoria

Hi,
I found this blog through Twitter. I work for the Arensky Chamber Orchestra, Britain’s newest professional orchestra and we’d love to invite someone from the culture capital blog to our launch concert at Cadogan Hall on January 15th. If you are interested could you drop me an email, I’d love to pass on more details about the ACO.
Thanks,
Will
