Hello All!
Well it is nice to be back in the land of communication! Sorry I've been off doing other stuff for the last while that I never even got time to give my thanks to everyone who participated in the last Drop night in July. It was a fantastic night, thanks go out to Marcello and the Senzalla Capoera school (senzallascotland.com), for their wonderful display of skill in their matial art form, and also to Emma Hamilton and the meanfeat crew for their sensational break-dance display.
The fantasic poetry of Milton Balgoni (well done Sir on the recent Bristol victory!), and hilarious and touching voice of Stephen Barnaby in his 50 word stories, both went down a treat. Special thanks go to Hazel Morrison, our headline music act on that gig. Beautiful voice, beautiful lady, tremendous..ahem.. talents :0) But seriously you were fantastic!
At the bottom of this message, you'll find a couple of things probably not seen before - first there's the quick map location finder for the Queen Charlotte rooms, and secondly, especially for the journalistas, (but others may find use for the format), the listing for the next Drop...
Which brings me, rather sweetly, to the purpose for this e-mail; namely the Next Drop. This next Drop night is on Wednesday the 27th of September(8pm), and yes, if you didn't already know or hadn't guessed from the subject line, Drop is One Year New, and still managing to be unique in content, performers and of course style! So thank you all for making this work, and making it worthwhile for us to put on, it's the encouragement you've all given that keeps this a FREE event, open to all and existing for Love of our Art!
So this month, come one come all and lets celebrate this first anniversary in style!
On the bill we have the welcome return of some of those who participated in the very first Drop at Sofi's including (fingers crossed on these two) Tickle and the inimitable Paul Reekie, and Mr Relax has also happily agreed, as has Chris Cantwell whose poetry has been missed greatly by all. In the line up for music we welcome a new duo from the One O Clock Gun party, as well as Drop first timers, but professional old hands, Andy Lang and the Well. A most heartily welcomed return from William Douglas as the Headline Musician will be fantastic, and McBrandy brings the local bawd and flavour. Others will be appearing, and, with the gracious aid of Miss Hope Eternal as Mistress of Ceremony, and the customary addition of another artform, this Drop promises to exceed all expectations!
Take care all, and we look forward to seeing you on the 27th.
(Dress code: "It's a party! wear what you like, although it is getting a little chilly for birthday suits out!")
