“Margaret’s success is an example of what can be achieved when exceptional talent is properly nurtured and celebrated, and we must do more to support the arts in promoting and recognising the wealth of talent right on our own doorstep.
“I know she will inspire a new generation of young singers, and I wish her all the very best in her future career.”
