A guest for Robin Schulz · Sat, 09 May 2015
Robin Schultz was amazing! The vibe was perfect, and the evening was spectacular!
A guest for Modest Mouse · Sun, 03 May 2015
Every group was great and excelled. Thought Modest Mouse was very disappointing, could hear vocals (just a series of blurred grumblings), didn't play any of the "hits" they are known for. Was expecting more, wish I didn't stay after Prime Circle who were best along with Jeremy Loops and American Authors

A guest for Tori Amos · Thu, 26 Jun 2014
Absolutely blown away by Tori's performance! One incredible emotional roller coaster - the tears were flowing as the full impact of her music hit home. What an honour to have been in the audience last night. Tori Amos is a phenomenal musician :)
