Join us for an intimate evening at the ‘Listening Bar’ as Hastings Distillers’ tasting room transforms into a Japanese-style ongaku kissaten — a space where music is experienced with quiet focus and deep appreciation.
Our first evening’s selection is from the collection of Adrian Thornton, widely known as the producer of the Hastings Icons series, proprietor of The Little Red Bookshop and musician playing in the Revolutionary Arts Ensemble and Machine Wreckers.
Adrian will be sharing an eclectic, carefully curated selection from his personal vinyl collection, played through an exceptional high-fidelity sound system provided by Soul to Sole Audio.
Each album side will be followed by a short break — a chance to enjoy a drink, connect, and reflect before the next deep listen. Come for the sound, stay for the stillness.
