Bayee Village, Wimbledon Village, 21st December 2009
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
Thanks to everyone who braved the continuing bad weather to make it to the restaurant.
From a sold out night to a few not being able to make it because of the snowand icy conditions, a fantastic night was still had by all.
The usual high standard of food from Marco and the staff of Bayee, plus Elvis Tribute Show soon had everyone feeling warm and ready to party.
Once the girls in grass skirts are out and extra Elvis are up for Rock - A – Hula it’s all systems go.
A burst of Blue Suede Shoes and Henry is bopping all over the restaurant.
A short break and it’s round 2,
The opening of CC Rider instantly relights the energy in the crowd and we’re off.
Sweet Carolinegets everyone singing and waving their arms in the air and we are back into full swing.
We had a night of singers in the audience and full use of their vocal talents was used.
Martin, Tricia and Jane all served up great songs on the mic as did the fantastic Aurore & Tish.
As the night ends the local taxi companies are put to the test showing good food a little drink and Elvis make for a great night out.
This night is returning on February 16th 2010 to celebrate “Chinese New Year” and we can do it all over again.
Thank you all again for making it through the bad weather and see you in February.

Chadni Restaurant, Chelmsford, Essex
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
It’s a long drive to Chelmsford but once there and set up it is all worth it.
A full restaurant always makes for a great evening and tonight was no exception, with regular and new customers all out for a night of good food and re-living some of the great songs made famous by Elvis.
The 1st set was a nice warm up ready for all the big songs from Elvis’ later years.
After the food is finished the 2nd set begins and everyone is ready to work off their meal by dancing and singing to songs such as ” Burning Love” and ” Suspicious Minds”.
It was during this set we all noticed the snow falling but carry on with the party.
The snow continues to fall and within an hour a good few inches have fallen and settled. As the performance comes to an end people start to wonder about getting home and how the country comes to a standstill with the slightest change of weather.
After some photo’s have been taken and printed out, equipment loaded, it is my turn to chance the roads.
Though not a great journey I made it back to SW17 safe & sound.
Thank you everyone for turning up and making this a great night and staying till the end despite the weather.
I will hopefully be returning to Chadni in January 2010 and looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Happy New Year
