Hollie Steel

Isn’t this gallery cool! You can sit back and watch the slideshow – scroll forwards, backwards, or watch in full screen mode. Move your cursor over the photo and arrows will appear to help you.

Many thanks to all of you who have allowed me to use your photos, especially Kevin, Georgi, Nevin, Scott, Haselmaus and David. If you want your photo at Bournemouth adding – let me know!

Here are some quotes from those lucky people who met Hollie and her family at Bournemouth:

Scott said:

It was fantastic. Hollie was the absolute star of the show.

David Nisbet said:

It was amazing! We were in the lounge when Hollie and family joined us. We sat down at a table and just chatted until it was time to go into the function suite. After Hollie’s performance they joined us in the rear bar, and stayed with us all night. After breakfast we played football in the garden,  then Josh played the piano and sang for us.

Robert Owen said:

Hollie was utterly magnificent.  Her performance of Nessun Dorma was a jaw-dropper.  Really I have to say: Watch out Placido Domingo!  Hollie’s ahead of the rest of the field and is hot on your heels with this song.  On Hollie’s performance of “Wishing” I have to remark how well her lower register has developed since the BGT final. So much more power and richness!  Yes, I think Hollie has overtaken Sarah Brightman on this song.

It wasn’t just her singing that was impressive. In spite of all the attention she got, she remained the most gracious, courteous, attentive and patient person it has ever been my privilege to meet.

Wonderful all round! Hollie made it an unforgettable evening.

Georgi Velev has told me that the charity ball in Bournemouth was “a bomb!” and he has kindly sent me a picture of himself with Hollie. Did you go to Bournemouth? Do you have any photos or news you’d like to share? Feel free to leave comments or send an email to:
