Welcome - 4 weekends and a Wedding

In this weeks post we bring you all the details for the up-and-coming bank holiday weekends, the winners of the last FITC competition, the results of Jamie's Journey - A night of burlesque and entertainment and a look at how the night went and some of the usual fun to brighten your day.


FITC COMPETITION:
Every week at Ten Cocktail Bar, our resident photographer/designer/video-maker Lukas is prowling the floors looking for people who encompass the rhetoric of the venue.  We pick two winners who receive a £10 bar tab each, just for having their picture taken.  If you have been chosen all you need to do is contact Ten Cocktail Bar through their Facebook group to claim your prize.

Congratulations to both of you, when you contact Ten Cocktail Bar we will send you a printable voucher that you can present at the bar to redeem your bar tab.



JAMIE'S JOURNEY - THE REVIEW:

Thursday 7th April saw one of the biggest events to come to Ten, Jamie's Journey - A night of burlesque and entertainment.  We had 56 people and 14 acts involved, which included anything from poker champions to rappers, burlesque dancers, film producers and photographers, raffles and much more besides.  The total raised was £1022.

The night was kicked off by a performance from the NDG (Northbrook Dance Group), with 8 dances including I Just Wanna Make Love to You by Etta James and Express by Christina Aguilleira.  This was punctuated with acts from two of the burlesque girls Cherry Bella and Sweet Tease.  The act from Cherry Bella included a very messy cream and Bakewell routine, and even the front row got a taste of the action.

After we changed up the stage we had the first of our bands, Covered, take to the stage.  "I would've paid £10 just to see them (Covered)" was one of the very favorable reviews of their show.  With tracks like Valerie by Amy Winehouse and Hold On, I'm Coming, Covered played a roaring set and let a very good impression on the crowd.

Following them in good stead was Thunk and their first performance at Ten, who ripped a set of original material.  Following in the live music section we had two urban performances from Miss B and Mr.Y.G, performing tracks from his latest album Sound of Money Volume I.

This was followed by more performances from our burlesque performers Lily L'Amore, Lexi Allure, Sweet Tease, Blue Bella and Cherry Bella.  This was, of course, punctuated by a performance by our headline act David van Day and Sue Moxley, A.K.A Rich and Famous, who gave Ten an exclusive performance of 80's medleys.

The weekend of the Royal wedding;  whatever your opinion of the ensuing wedding, I'm sure you'll agree that its a great excuse for a national day-off.  Brilliant!  We get to celebrate an attempt to relate to society, punctuated with awkwardly staged interviews about how 'human' they are.  I have an iPod therefore I am, appears to be the impetus.  Wow, that means this guy is like me, therefore we connect, therefore I like the monarchy. Anyway, here's the line up for the weekend.

Thursday 21st: DJ Sid3show Bob.
Friday 22nd:  DJ Diggers.
Saturday 23rd:   DJ Pete Bristow.
Sunday 24th:  DJ Diggers.


SOMETHING ELSE:
And here are your funny bits for this week.  Seeing as I have had a few incidents with my cats recently, unintentional of course!  I have managed to electrocute one and paint the other blue, so in honour of my slightly more wary cats Willis and Lucy here are some cat themed videos.







THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH TEN COCKTAIL BAR OVER THE LAST WEEK AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN TEN SOMETIME SOON!
