“All events fantastic – very thankful to have this incredible music event at Scarborough -it has had a real impact and created a real community atmosphere as well as developing business and community connections. This is our third time we have attended, though went to a larger number of events this year.”

“Fantastic day – commenced by reading the paper enjoying the duo at the cafe, doing crosswords/reading listening to acts in cafes in the amphitheatre, the jazz trio in the hotel. The swing band at dusk and the acts at twilight at the markets.”
