Re: Jo Hawes list

you would need to ask again - she certainly doesn't keep an 'i'll call you' list - and be aware she can turn down children who have had a previously unsuccessful audition - it's a bit age-dependant, but i can see she'd have mums turning up every few months if she'd let them - for the same reason, ch...
