Christmas Parties

Christmas seems to come round faster each year and 2013 was no exception.  We were literally rushed off our feet with parties and receptions with all kinds of different entertainment on offer to help the festive season go with a bang.  Not only did we have the usual DJs and bands, mix and mingle acts and gospel singers, but we had  casino parties, cowboy themed events, golden living statues, mind readers, singing waiters, acrobats  pearly kings and queens, Santa and naughty Christmas elves  and even John Blashford-Snell put in an appearance - the variety was huge!

A lovely family party at Le Gavroche

The family hired the whole of Le Gavroche for their celebratory party and even Michel Roux Jr was on hand in the kitchen and to explain to the guests how the evening's menu had been put together.  It was no wonder then what our pianist was asked whether he wanted the same meal as the guests or to eat in the staff room that he chose the first option. Musicians don't usually get treated to such a delight with crew meals and out-mess, but when it does happen it is a real bonus.
