HWCH & The City offers short pop-up gigs in quirky places across the afternoon around town, providing a taste of what’s to come each evening – it will lead audiences into the HWCH festival and all it has to uncover, day by day.
Full list of venues and bands and routes are on the HWCH website.
HWCH & The City also welcomes a new element to it’s events in association with HomeBeat. Homebeat at HWCH & The City will transform 3 homes into top class venues, where 3 of the festival bands will take over the living rooms of some lucky person’s home and play a series of top class, super intimate gigs!
