Red Nose Day In Memory Of The Notorious B.I.G - PARTY TONIGHT 13.3.9


Red Nose Day is a day like no other! Britain gets involved in fundraising activities at schools, offices & homes across the land, mix it with the nation’s favourite celebrities getting up to all kinds of mischief, sprinkle a new Red Nose (or three!) across the entire UK and add a cracking night of comedy on BBC One to make Red Nose Day the phenomenon it is. All this funny business unites the nation in trying to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people – and the best thing is - it works!

In loving memory of Christopher George Latore Wallace's life (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), aka Biggie Smalls, come and join us from 8pm to hear Superstar DJ Leke spin legendary tunes from and inspired by B.I.G. & Co and complimentary cocktails & canapés inspired by Red Nose Day.

FREE ENTRY between 8pm- 10pm then the nightclub kicks in..

You will be able to make a contribution to Red Nose Day at the party.

Justinius The Great's 40th Birthday Party














Whilst the boys were throwing a great Party for in EA in Londinium I took flight to sunny Ruthin,Wales. We stayed in the 13th Century Ruthin Castle - so much history in the UK. The occassion was my good Friend Justin and his Mrs Lil's 40th Birthday Party. They were born 2 days apart.....how mad is that? Great company, sumptuous food and lovely Family. Black tie do with all the trimmings. Also took a 3 hour hike onto the hills with Bobby to survey the land. Ahhh what a thrill! Legs are still aching. The Welsh are such nice people as well. Even had time to buy some prime beef from the local butcher which the Mrs & I had for dinner on Sunday....LUSH!
Boone chance with the move to Switzerland and see you Friday Bro! Thanks for an awesome time ......... +

EA Games Xmas Party




Because of the downturn in the last few months some Companies were forced to cancel their Xmas Parties. But some others just postponed and shrunk down their celebrations. The beloved EA Games are one of our Clients that still felt that their staff that where still in chair deserved some show of gratitude for their work. Alistair, Daniel & Jessica organised an awesome and well received Dinner Celebration at D&D's Quaglino's. Nice one Guys.....Clients were v. happy as well. Loving your work!!

Members Night At Molton House & Polo Packages



Wednesdays are always deemed as a sleepy Thursday in the Industry. This week was no different as we were invited to the colourful Members Club that is Molton House near Bond Street! Great cocktails and lovely to bump into a few old friends especially my Man James from Funky Buddha. You still have your youthful looks from the Atlantic Bar & Grill days 15 years back amigo. Happy Birthday To You. Davina & the gang treated us royally at Molton House.... Great venue for 130 Guest party xxx

On the flipside it ain't easy trying to market Hospitality packages ( eg Polo) to our friends in the City. Minimal budget and droves of agency frantically hitting the same clients. Lucky our quality, network and cost effeciency put us a cut above the rest!!!! Give us a try if you don't believe me ;-)

Shanghai Blues With Clients & Dinner with Scott Maslen


During these austere times it's all about putting your marketing in full throttle. On that proviso we took some lovely Clients on Tuesday night to the stylish and sumptuous restaurant Shanghai Blues http://www.shanghaiblues.co.uk/ in Holborn. I still think the food and cocktails here are better than even Hakasan. Thanks to GM Andrew and the professional staff the Clients will be coming back with Business. Let get it on! It was nt a long meet as it was only a school night and I had to rush off for dinner with my good Friend Scott Maslen ( Of Eastenders Fame) at his place..... House is coming along just fine Buddy!!! Thanks for dinner and great to see the Family. More grease to your elbow x

Sunday Roast With The Grahams






Forget Fashion week........ too busy! Funny this Feb I have had little interest in all the fuss. Heard Vivienne Westwood & Betty Jackson's Shows where great though. No revenue stream for us this time so no interest! Still in bits, we (well done Pumita) dragged ourselves out of bed to be picked up by Daniel heading for Redbourne to have lunch with Jane, Alistair, Maisie & the delightful Annie. Glad we did!!!!! So much fun with the Kids..... have to have spend more time out of the office with the team. HERTFORDSHIRE IS NT SO FAR AFTER ALL...XXXX

Carnival Party In Barons Court








After the funky Friday I was in bits. Too much Gavi De Gavi compliments of my Cousin Koya sent me spiralling home chaparoned by my fine Wife... Thanks You! Sunny Saturday was no good to me as I spent most of the day on the settee feeling very sorry for myself. Saw a great Rock Hudson & George Peppard WWII film called Tobruk which helped soften the pain. That eve we had been invited to a dear Friend's Fancy Dress Carnival Party in Baron's Court. Knackered but excited I am glad I mustered the energy to go. WOW we had so much fun; the outfits were outrages, the Caiparinhas were to die for and the company was awesome. What larks we had..... I went as Pele which the night became Roma's Julio Baptista (COME ON ARSENAL) due to my large frame! Does nt my wife look gorgeous!

Friday Night in The Village Inn & Double Club





With London Fashion Week starting with limp I was surprised to see so many people out and about. Went for quick drink with good Friends & genius Muscians Sacha Skarbek and Miguel Stanley and their merry music gang at the Village Inn to celebrate the finish of their 12 track album. Launching in Portugal and later in UK ....Hopefully will help with the marketing & launch party!Good luck mes amis.
After a couple of drinks I bounced on to new Congolese Restaurant and Bar- Double Club which is a Carsten Höller art project by Fondazione Prada & Guaranty Trust Bank, Nigeria. Located in an old Victorian warehouse just beside the Angel tube station, The Double Club opened on 21 November 2008, offering a unique approach to entertainment and hospitality, as well as creating a dialogue between Congolese and Western contemporary music, lifestyle, arts and design. Good work Mourad Of Momos. Awesome to see Simon & Robert RUNNING THINGS! Had a fabulous King Prawn, Halibut, Beef, Plantain & Talapia Dinner......mouthwateringly sumptuous! Love it Guys..... Great to chill with Koya, Abi, Francesca and Gbolly. See you soon x
