Christmas
It’s that time of year again, when the Souljers dust off their festive gear and try to be good boys for Santa. We would like to take this opportunity to reflect on last December’s highlights and we hope that this year’s festivities are just as magical.
When the staff at Sketchley Grange in Leicestershire got in touch to book Adam (as the Sketchley Grange recommended entertainment supplier) for a Christmas party I turned straight to December in his diary. Oh no, this particular Christmas party wasn't in December... It was going to be mid-September!
The lovely girls in the conference and banqueting team there had decided to throw a Christmas-themed evening so that they could invite local businesses and clients to see just what the hotel has to offer throughout the festive season! Clever eh?!
I happily accepted and booked Adam Thomas and the Souljers in for them... Lovely.
When we arrived on the day we were astounded to see that they really had gone the whole hog for this: full decor; an illuminated reindeer and sleigh; Christmas trees by the dozen; a 4 course turkey dinner plus a Christmas quiz and Christmas songs playing throughout! It felt as though we had been blasted into the future... So much so that at the end of the night I fully expected to see snow outside - I had forgotten that it was only autumn!
;)
We put on the full corporate geek show for them: golf socks, glasses, braces... The works :) The show went down a storm with a full dancefloor and guests singing along and jigging about - you would never have believed it was a Thursday night! A bit of Motown, Paolo Nutini, Bobby Brown, Blues Bros... They were mad for it!!
We had a really great time performing for them and, judging by the feedack, the guests loved it as much as we did! I'm sure the night will bring them lots of bookings (as will the new wing of the hotel which looks absolutely amazing!!) Thanks for having us guys... Oh, and Merry Christmas! :) x x x
As great as Sketchley is for Christmas Parties (and they are!), the Premier Show in Leicestershire for Christmas 2011 is a full scale, glitz and glam affair called The Snow Ball at The Marriott, Leicester. More information can be found at www.LeicesterSnowBall.co.uk or take a peek at the showreel below!

Sarah and Tom enjoy the ride!
(c) these fantastic shots were taken on Saturday 11th December 2010 by the very talented Gary @ SMD Photography. He managed to get some truly great shots and we are so happy with them!
Where are the rest of the photos you ask?? Well, you'll have to wait to see them all!! (Mainly because Gary has taken so many brilliant shots that we've now got to pick out the best from a million!! Obviously, I'm exaggerating a little!)
