Austentation (Gillian Tunley and Frank Underwood) in the Royal Pavilion’s Music Room
Last Monday, visitors to the Royal Pavilion were treated to a performance by the Regency music duo Austentation. Austentation are vocalist Gillian Tunley and instrumentalist Frank Underwood. They perform music from the Georgian period, and include pieces from the personal collection of writer Jane Austen.

We have posted five clips of Austentation’s performance on You Tube. They are:
We hope you enjoy!
