Review of A night for Charity with Charley Stride

Lovely relaxed evening of good music and good company in an atmospheric venue....and all for a good cause.

Review of A night for Charity with Charley Stride

Charles was brilliant and also some of the other acts. But the first couple were a bit loud. Realise that this is just a starting point for some of the acts. Food was not really good at all and a bit disorganised.

Review of Burlesque - Halloween Special

We couldn't see the stage from our table so unfortunately we didn't get to see the show. The food que was around our table and my friend got hit in the head. The guy then threatened her. We got a complimentary drink and waitress was lovely. Management never came over. Wouldn't come to another event here again.

Review of Burlesque - Halloween Special

The food was poorly catered, it wasn't all available together, there were no servings spoons, the buffet dishes weren't labelled, there was far too much food but it was all rather boring, less food, better quality would have been better.
The cabaret was rather repetitive, just an endless successive of individual dancers, essentially going thru the same routine to different tunes. It needed to be more varied and maybe more multi-dancer routines. The pole dancer was very good. the compere was positively tedious.
unfortunately the venue wasn't full enough for dancing, needed to be more crowded - the music was too loud.
Sorry but it didn't really work and quite a few people left around 11pm after the caberet.

Review of Burlesque - Halloween Special

The dancers and singer were fab. However the sound system was dreadful. Also the show being on 2 levels really didn't work. Was with some good company so we had a good time, and the venue was great, but didn't work for this show I'm afraid. Sorry guys.

Review of BURLESQUE - THE CREAMTEASE

The stage was dark so watch the show was difficult, at least next time use some spot light, and the music and microfone were just poor non listenable properly. But the show was beautiful as the performers.

Review of BURLESQUE - THE CREAMTEASE

Wasn't exactly what I expected as I thought burlesque dancers were traditionally older and more voluptuous. Can't fault the girls performances and the compare was very funny. They gave their all (no pun intended) inspite of the conditions. I think the venue let them down as the PA was not good, lack of spotlighting and the 2 stage thing didn't work. Couldn't see what was going on. Music was not very traditional for Burlesque

Review of BURLESQUE - THE CREAMTEASE

The night was fun because it was something different and the venue is beautiful but not ideal for the show. Those who were upstairs couldn't see the performance downstairs and vice versa.
The sound system was very basic and couldn't be heard properly around the venue.
Drinks weren't too expensive, always a bonus. However there was always a long wait for a ****tail; I waited 10 minutes at the bar after ordering a drinking gt it
The performers weren't anything special but the host was very fun and entertaining.
I'm glad I only paid £5 for it. I wouldn't pay anymore
