40th birthday bash




What a fantastic surprise birthday party last weekend! Nearly 100 guests were invited to a black tie event at the Old Thatched Inn near Aylesbury for a night of stylish entertainment based on a 1950's / Hollywood Glamour theme. The venue was draped in black velvet with contrasting blood red roses and ostrich feathers as well as crystal chandeliers. While the champagne flowed guests were entertained by the indomitable Rietta Austin who wowed the guests with her outstanding vocals and stage presentation. We had showgirls and Burlesque Queen, Gwendoline Lamour permformed her Jeeves and Wooster act and Powder Puff Act and finally presented the birthday boy with a stunning cake. Added to this the guests then danced on into the night to the Number 7 Band led by Bob Halford interspersed by the lovely Salvatore as DJ.
