Thursday 24 July 2025.....5.15pm to 12pm..... ONE MARYLEBONE - summer showcase - 1 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 4AQ This ex church has been an events venue since 2008. It is directly across from Great Portland Street tube station. The showcase really was a pretty incredible 10/10 event. Around 500 guests over three levels. The venue has been dressed amazing, and there is an outside covered restaurant all set up. It must have cost a fortune to put this all together. The first floor is the full wedding experience . Over 30 of their regular suppliers for their events are showcasing, so there are several bars and food stations. 6pm to 6.30pm we are seated in the covered outdoor restaurant for the four course tasting menu, which was delicious , paired with two wines . There was a female playing acoustic covers. The DJ was playing dance tracks downstairs later on. A couple of costumed dancers on the dance floor . There was a fun casino. Lots of complimentary drinks and food , including champers , prosecco , different cocktails , wines , beers , bowl foods , canapes and desserts We were there over six hours...it was top notch. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Tuesday 22 July 2025...10.15pm to 12.15pm... BURLESQUE - press/VIP opening night party at The Savoy Hotel, Strand, London . The show itself was held earlier at The Savoy Theatre. A big crowd of 300 or 400 guests in their famous ballroom. The cast all turn up. CHRISTINA AGUILERA is here as executive producer . She was in the original movie. Nice to bump into and chat to Steve Zapp who is a booking agent for leading live music agents ITB, who look after Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath amongst many other legends. We were both at that amazing day at Villa Park and raised a glass for Ozzy. Lots of complimentary drinks and food, including vodka cocktails, Tequila Strawberry Cream shots , Kylie prosecco , wines , beers , wagyu beef burgers , cartons of fish and chips and canapes. ------------------- Tuesday 22 July 2025. Very sad news that rock legend OZZY OSBOURNE has died aged 76....you knew it was coming , but a shock that it's only two weeks after that amazing farewell show i saw at Villa Park . I saw so many great shows with Ozzy over the years, both as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath A real rock & roll character for sure.
