I thought a quick post was in order to let people know how our first band night of 2010 went. The night was fully booked, plus a few more, which meant we had in excess of 65 people present. A big thank you to all that attended and we hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did.
If you’ve been following this blog then you’ll know we had Buddy’s Live Band playing for us who is fronted by Huge Budden an excellent harmonica player. Thank you to the band the performance was great and we had some great feedback about it.
The ticket price was £12 and included the entry fee as well as a plate of food. Guests could choose from a Chargrilled Vegetable Lasagna, Seafood Paella or Chicken Tikka Masala. Bread, Poppadoms or salad accompanied the relevant dishes. Desserts were sold additionally to the ticket price at £3.50 each and comprised of Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream or Baked Vanilla Cheesecake with a Soft Berry Compote.
