Over £2,000 raised for St Catherine’s Hospice

We are thrilled to say that the “Gin & Frolics” evening at Soper Hall, where we had the privilege of providing the live music, raised over £2,000 for St Catherine’s Hospice.

What is more, it was a great evening. We had a real blast playing to a fabulous, friendly and appreciative audience.

Some video from the night can be found here.
