Testimonials
“I received my first ever standing ovation from a solo performance during my first year at Powderham Live! and I will always remember that feeling. It was a pinch-me-moment...singing at the castle, surrounded by insanely talented people, is the most magical feeling ever! Because of Powderham Live! I have become a solo artist, played lots of gigs, released my own music and more. The team are brilliant and all performers are some of the most talented and awesome people I have ever met. Thank you Powderham Live!."
