I became friends with WinterKids after meeting James at their Indie Go Go club night in Guildford a couple of years ago. My services to the band include joining them on their legendary tours to Germany, where in the evenings I am found perched on the merch stand, selling t shirts and vinyl to the fans over there.
This week I am going to guest blog, providing you with coverage on the exciting events of Hannah's birthday suprise.
On October 20th Hannah will be 21, so James orgainsed a night out last Thursday with all of her friends to celebrate.
The band drove up to London in Big Blue, keeping secrets about what she would be doing that evening and that all of her friends would soon be gathered in East London to suprise her. After meeting in the Salmon & Ball pub, we walked down to the Working Men's Club, a cosy retro place in Bethnal Green. Hannah's a fan of Dita Von Teese, so James booked us three tables at the Whisky & Ginger Burlesque Show.
We arrived, got stamped and got drinks, then settled ourselves round to wait for the show. Whisky & Ginger was the drink of the night, along with the champagne supplied by James.
The show had a hilairious host and over the next few hours we saw burlesque performances from secretaries, a school boy, fifties pin up girls, a doctor and his brother and a sparkly lupine creature. The show was full of feathers, glitter and bubbles with plenty of falling skirts and bra straps. The boys loved it, and as for the girls, well, we're now researching burlesque lessons.
Towards the end, Hannah was called up to the stage where she was seranaded by the host then presented with a birthday present from the club, a classic pair of red, sequined nipple tassles.
For afters, we stopped at the Brick Lane Beigel Bakery before heading up to a little pub in Whitechapel. A few drinks later, we all parted ways, and I joined the band on the satisfied, sleepy journey back inBig Blue to Little House.
