The festival has a series of firsts; the Cathedral has yet to host any jazz and contemporary music, weve mostly had folk and choral concerts. So we are broading our range of musical gigs. The Cathedral has never hosted a Comedy evening before, it'll be the first time we have worked with Last Laugh Comedy Club.

Tickets are selling fast so make sure you dont miss a thing!
