    About

    Verity Standen’s phenomenal immersive choral experience returns to Bristol ahead of an international tour.

    A choral sound bath.

    Each audience member is blindfolded and hugged by a singer. Unable to gauge their surroundings visually, participants experience the performance through sound, breath and vibrations of the body as the choir of voices deliver the song. HUG returns to Bristol after critically acclaimed performances at the Edinburgh Festival, the Southbank Centre in London and with new choirs around the UK.

    HUG is very accessible for visually impaired audiences.

      "There is more to it than just sensation. HUG is also a strangely cathartic experience, unequivocally illustrating the power that music holds to move us"
