This fundraiser honours the memory of Jacqueline Parmelee (beloved sister of Mantis) who was a long time survivor of sexual and domestic violence.
It is in her name we will help give shelter to those needing protection and support.
We will conjur up the purest elation which will fill the room and take us all to another level!
Mantis and the Prayer's latest single release Roses Blue, is a passionate tribute to the memory of Mantis' sister Jacqueline. It is a musical journey of childhood reflection, innocence lost and the anguishing response in the spirit realm. It is a searching for reconnection and by the end a shattering result is achieved.
To support this once in a lifetime event, we are so thrilled to have the otherworldliness of Fabels and Dandelion Wine on the ticket!!
