End: Wednesday, September 11, 2024 10:30PM

Come and join us for an evening of music and supper at a stunning setting in the heart of Richmond Park. Whether or not you are a blues/boogie-woogie/jazz enthusiast this event is a perfect night of entertainment at Pembroke Lodge overlooking the Thames Valley to Windsor. The ever charismatic Dana Gillespie will host the event and top the bill with her usual raunchy stories and music . Dana was the first ever Mary Magdalene in the London production of Jesus Christ Superstar and has worked with celebrities such as David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger, to name but a few. Her voice and mesmerising voice, stage presence and great humour have thrilled audiences all over the world, and are not to be missed. She will be joined by boogie-woogie pianist and vocalist extraordinaire, Dino Baptiste, plus Tyger Tyger, a highly accomplished trio of jazz veterans with a repertoire ranging from the thirties to the sixties. You will be greeted with a welcome drink and will be served a light supper with wine during the interval of two hours of live music. There will also be a raffle draw with locally contributed prizes. Parking is free and the main Richmond Park gates will be kept open specifically for you on leaving the event. All proceeds will go directly to the Holly Lodge Centre, a small unique charity in Richmond Park provides nature, history and science based learning experiences for over almost 8,500 people per year - specialising in those with special educational needs and disabilities. The charity receives no Government funding so is dependent on events such as this as well as other generous contributions. Tickets cost £68.50 per person and can be obtained on www.everbrite.co.uk
