Spotlight on Livvy K

We were lucky enough to be joined by the multi talented, absolutely lovely Livvy K, when she joined us to record a live session in our library. Livvy K is a 19 year old singer/songwriter from Lancashire, who's powerful vocal performance is was just what the doctor ordered after not seeing live music for a year.

One Year On… An open letter to our regulars.

What a crazy year that was. Did anyone see that coming? Well, we know some people did. We've seen the documentaries. But what we mean is, like, WOW! Didn't expect that.
