Following an incredible first edition of Stripped Down at The Crescent, the series returns this Saturday for a new season and we starts things off with the phenomenal CHERYM.

Known for their boisterous on stage energy and pop-punk vibes, we have been lucky enough to secure them doing something a little different; a Stripped Down, intimate, cabaret style seated show.

Come join CHERYM in a unique environment as they give their songs the Stripped Down treatment 😍
