Acadium pulled off another night of fantastic live music. They play here regularly and our punters love them! Great song range, superb musicians, and full of energy, can't wait to get them back down again.

Arcadium performed at my wife's surprise party and made sure it was a special night for all of us! From the first song everyone was up singing and dancing. The band clearly love what they do and you can feel their energy. Already booked in for round 2!
