Film about Vintage Craft on LV21

A film documenting The Seaside Sister’s residency on board LV21. Dubbed the queens of coastal themed craft in this review on Vintage By Hemingway, visitors were treated to vintage seaside inspired souvenirs and workshops. Nick Brown of the rare vinyl record shop Intoxica treated us to a surf and nautical themed DJ set. And the enchanting mermaid aka soprano Sophia Brumfitt lured visitors deep into the ship with her beautiful voice.
