Supporting River Garden through events like these is deeply meaningful to our community. Every ticket purchased and every person who walks through our doors helps us deliver a vital recovery service. At River Garden, we believe in a “reinvention of recovery” – one that goes beyond clinical support to create real-world work, training, and health improvement.

Our mission is to provide a safe harbour for healing, where residents can rediscover their potential through social enterprises like the very café where this concert will take place. By attending, you are directly contributing to a model of care that creates opportunities for safety, long-term recovery, and professional growth.

Constant Follower, led by songwriter Stephen Houghton, is renowned for a sound that is as “enriching and soul-stirring” as the surroundings of River Garden itself. Their music – often described as “experimental dream-folk” – is characterised by gentle instrumentation and raw, honest lyricism. It is music that invites reflection and connection, making them the perfect partners for an evening dedicated to the beauty of recovery and community.

We believe that recovery shouldn’t happen in isolation. It is exciting, enjoyable, and enriching when people from all walks of life connect with our residents and our space. This event is an invitation to experience the “good vibes” of the Bothy, enjoy world-class music, and stand in solidarity with those on a journey toward a new life.
