SUNDAY - DAY 3
The Lounge
Always a wonderful experience to participate or watch and support others showcasing their talents at events including live performances, films and enjoying an artists stage presence. Sometimes these can turn into wonderful relationships and deals can be struck just from one piece of music or performance. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
