The Acoustic Ballroom

What an amazing night we had at Braziers Park. Everyone really pulled out all the stops to help make a really magical evening.   Thank you so much to everyone who helped to plan, run, organize, cook, serve, greet, sing, clap, watch, listen, donate, perform and just be generally wonderful. Over £800 was raised - every penny of which will go directly to Avaaz for their Haiti appeal.

This from the Avaaz website: “100% of funds raised will go into post-earthquake relief and rebuilding programmes and efforts to strengthen local systems in Haiti — it’s the most direct way to build Haiti’s resilience and help meet the desperate needs of the people on the frontline who need help urgently today”

I could never have expected the last Ballroom to be so busy as it was right in the middle of FROZEN BRITAIN.  Thanks as always to all who braved the weather and came down - it was a great and eccentric night.

We had 3 poets, some inspired cover versions, the controversial use of a Stylophone, a whole bunch of talented young folk, and as if that were not enough, some Capoeira…. blimey!

Oh, I nearly forgot, you can now follow the Ballroom on Twitter. I’m still new to it, but I think you have to use this: @theacousticblrm

Hi folks,

The plan is for the Ballroom to go ahead as usual tomorrow night despite the bad weather. If the situation changes I will update the website and email everyone on the mailing list.
