'It was a privilege to have Colin Decio and Ingrid Prosser at Old St Paul’s recently.
Ingrid’s beautiful interpretation of both her own and a range of other person’s poetry was a delight.  Having it interspersed with Colin’s superb mastery on the Old St Paul’s heritage grand piano ensured a most enjoyable lunchtime concert that was appreciated by all who attended.'
