Hannah White will be opening the night, which has been pulled together at very short notice (enormous gratitude goes out to the artists for offering to donate their time) to raise money to help keep The Sound Lounge going in these really difficult times!!!
We have a lot of generous artists who have offered their time for this, so don't miss out and arrive early. Doors will open at 6pm. Hannah will be opening and introducing the first artist a little before 7pm. So grab your seats to get comfortable for the night! #FreeEntry - #PayWhatYouCan or donate on the night....or just come and enjoy the music and have a drink at the bar. Every time you do, it makes a huge difference to us ❤️🙏
