Everyone at Crosslet House, our previous homes & day care centres would highly recommend Rovin Productions, everyone loves them' (Crosslet House, Dumbarton) 'CGNN aims to reduce loneliness in the community and Sian and Stephan's panto has been the breid to our butter each festive season. We have great laughs and a brilliant sing along with the tunes we know and the made up ones to well kent tunes that stick in your head for days after! Such a talented duo Sian and Stephan bring an energy and enthusiasm for all to enjoy a toe tapping, thigh slapping, hand clapping time! They bring a joy that if you could bottle it, it would give Barrs Irn Bru a run for their money. They bring love and laughter, from the classical, the modern classics to the down right banter tunes. You perform such a wide range of music that brings back fond memories for the audience. Nothing does this better than music. The way you seamlessly go from the serious to the outrageous with Aunty Senga is a talent few performers have the range for. You are the whole package, the real deal, all with a genuine warmth for the audience you perform tirelessly for.' Fundraisers
