Taking to Twitter after their performance, the band wrote: "The response to these shows has been amazing, far beyond anything we could’ve imagined when we first gathered in a tiny room with a few instruments last September. We are thankful for everyone who came out to watch and listen & hope it was as good for you as it has been for us."
They added: "Thanks to Emma Smith, Andrew McKinney & Adam Betts for playing with us so brilliantly, and to the wonderful Elysian Collective members & their esteemed leader/arranger Richard Jones. Stacks of appreciation to the crew and management without whom none of this would’ve happened.
"Look after yourselves & have a great summer. xxx"
