What audience members said about our previous Hastings Cave performance:
I felt far more connected to the music than in a conventional venue. Loved the beautiful instruments and voices blending so perfectly together. Aleah
I loved the formations and the drip-drip of the surroundings. The acoustics were amazing and looking up into the stalactites. Lindsay
It was magic! …hearing live music in the natural reverberation of a cave had a great effect on one’s being. Mieka
