Mon 10th Jan: 10 Hannah Marshall Highlights of 2010












Whilst compiling the review of 2010, I contacted Hannah Marshall for a contribution to sum up her year........... but on casting my eye over some of her highlights I though why the heck not cover 10 for 2010! Its been an amazing year for Miss Marshall which I'm very proud of - to see the path her career has taken since we first met at art school a decade ago! Read the following quotes to find out about her meeting with the queen of stage & sound Grace Jones.......... all the way thru to meeting the actual Queen! Congrats Hannah!
