A day late with my post this week as it was a holiday here yesterday and the party kept going in
London City!
We started the weekend as we always do with an event at
Bar Soho, but things quickly moved on as
Madame Lala's London Revue Bar had a special event - a live performance by BG Singer, who treated the enthusiastic patrons to a fantastic set.

On Saturday we had a brand new show as part of the
Party in the Park - a concert featuring a selection of divas. It was billed as a massive stage and a massive show; of course, the unspoken part was massive egos! Carole King, Shania Twain, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Gloria Estefan and Celine Dion all stormed the stage at various points of the show with big voices, big hair and big personalities.

Sunday proved to be a totally strange day, unlike any I have witnessed since arriving in London City. The party at
Comptons pub had a Spanish/Mexican theme - think sombreros and a dancing cactus.. We had a new performer, a fantastic live singer by the name of Phiona Ember, who wowed the crowd with her vocal talents. The evening then took a bizarre twist as Comptons very own pub landlady, Fanny Craidic, gave us a 'treat' in the form of a cooking demonstration. No one was entirely sure what was being made and thankfully the kitchen sink overflowed and helped to douse the flames from the cooker...

The weekend was brought to a rapturous close by another
Party in the Park with a concert by the amazing Amy MacDonald and a selection of hardcore tunes from DJ Ruby.

How can we top such a fantastic weekend? Not easy, but we intend to try. On Friday we have Father Time at Madame Lala's, Mapoo Little in Regent's Park on Saturday and Britt McMahon as Leonard Cohen at Comptons pub on Sunday!
