Reviews
All our performers are professional musicians, are personally vetted, and complete a sound check before joining the Lockdown Presents family.
A group of friends were supposed to be going to an oxford Trinity college commemoration ball but it was cancelled. So they had a 'Zoom ball'
I just wanted to say a massive thank you from myself and the rest of the people who joined for a small zoom Commemoration Ball. We had great performances from Borders Duo to kick us off and Mel Latimer later in the evening. It really made it a much more memorable evening and experience so a real thank you to the artists but also to you and Simone for setting up Lockdown Presents. Can't thank you enough.
