Captive Audience

This is an invitation to treat yourself while you are home.

Dress up, get your favourite drink, a few nibbles, maybe make your own fine dining experience or order one of the special takeaways that the Island’s restaurants are serving during lockdown. Then sit down and watch some of the greatest performances from around the world, streaming directly to your own television, or computer.

Why not ring your friends first so that you can enjoy them together, even if you can’t be together, or share listening to the same album or concert and discuss it afterwards.

Staying in is definitely the new going out. Just click on the left hand logo to go directly to the website page.
