Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to change the venue for tomorrow’s concert.
The concert will now take place at Mayflower Community Academy, Ham Drive.
The time remains the same, and you can still look forward to the same amazing music—all in support of a fantastic cause.
We look forward to seeing you there!
