‘They performed brilliantly and showed maturity above their years. It was great to see how they have grown in confidence performing live’ Crawley Times, October 27, 2011

The result of all their efforts was a superb concert where the young people sang, performed and thrilled the audience with their talent and versatility and, not least, their ability.’ Cllr Bob Burgess

Hawth Showcase, 15 January 2010 – A second chance to hit the Hawth Studio to a sell out audience. Students performed original material which they have writtenfor the album. It was great to see how much they had learned about improving their performance and how much more confident they all were. They really seemed to relax and enjoy it!

Hawth Showcase,  October 2009. A first chance for the students to perform live in the studio theatre. A chance to work with professional technicians and practice some of the performance skills they have started to develop in the workshops. It went really well and played to a full house.
