The minute I encountered Simon Le Bon closely followed an exhuberant & stylish Adam Ant, I knew the evening was going to be a winner. My ears were already being assailed by the music & DJHeretic was cranking up the heat with the Jam, the Proclaimers & the Clash.
Out on the dance floor the cocktail tray was doing the rounds, closely followed by shots of every colour, served up by a hot little sweetheart who wove her way between the Kids from Fame, the Boy George lookalikes & the punks.
A kaleidoscope of colour & the movement of the crowd exploded like a paint ball onto the big screen behind the DJ & the requests just kept coming.
Out in the cafe bar more party goers threw their shapes in a moving arena whilst Rod Hull & Emu laid traps for the unwary reveller. The live band kept it coming & we just lapped it up - the good times were never better.
The 80's had hit town like a Christmas cracker & we all wanted a piece of it - with its flamboyant legwarmers to its glitzy black lace to the arrogance of the New Romantics.
From Tears for Fears to Rick Astley to Ultravox & beyond! - we loved them all - we picked the music & we got what we wanted.
It doesn't get better than this when you turn back the clock & choose the best - one of the things the Drill Hall does well - they know how to throw a mean party! Even the staff were in the mood!

To the moment when we scmaltzed to the Slow-y then ripped it up to the reggae of the Ghost Town - we gave it our best shot.
So c'mon guys - heres to the next one - bring on the 90's night..............!
