One Night, Six Bands

A mundane day at work but probably largely because this evening was always going to be a bit special. It was a fund raising night for our employers selected charity of the year, Mental Health UK. We had a "battle of the bands" at the iconic 100 Club on Oxford Street in London, a venue which over the years has been played by pretty much everyone who is anyone in the rock and pop business!! For tonight we had six different bands, each containing at least some employees from our business. Each band did a 20-25 minute set of cover versions. A set of senior colleagues were persuaded to form a judging panel. The best band got a big trophy and a chance to do an encore.

I (Chris) was the official photographer so we have photos for the Group intranet next week and other publications possibly. All the bands were different in make-up and style and it with a very enthusiastic crowd it was packed out. A really great evening. Got a few photos to sift through now.  An extra too, just to prove we were there. The blip is of the winning band in full flight.
