Audience Comments

This has been the highlight of the year – a privilege to see such quality close to home

Stunningly engaging music and performers. Mesmerising!

Brilliant – more jazz please

An excellent event – we came a long way but we shall again, particularly if you continue to mine young Scottish jazz talent, which is a particularly rich seam at the moment

Lovely to hear new music by young artists, not just the usual

Another amazing concert – thank you!

Mesmerising. Beautiful acoustic
