First of all I wish to convey my congratulations to Derrick Pereira, his enterprising family and his committee for putting together a dream New Year's Eve Gala dance which brought in New Year 2015 in great style with of course the one and onky famous band MAZ & CO providing first class live entertainment.
Denzyl and myself from 'Velvet Touch/Trio/Black Velvet' also enjoyed playing, giving the main band breaks, and though we experienced a few technical problems with our PA sound, we enjoyed ourselves. P.S. Derrick sorry to say the stage was a bit too small and no room even to move an inch. In 2012 it was much bigger.
To conclude, I wish to convey my Congratulations to Derick for providing a top flight occasion held at Park Inn Hotel Heathrow and I wish to say all our friends who attended the occasion acknowledged what a fabulous time they had and look forward to next year's New Year's Eve 2015 occasion.
We must not fail to mention the success of the occasion well supported with funds raised on the night to 'HELP A POOR CHILD' . This says it all and you bet whenever we are advised of occasions organised by Derick Pereira, we will not fail to attend.
As a token of rememberance of this great occasion, I include some photographs taken at random - (unfortunately the video clips were too dark due to the dim lighting and had to be abandoned).
Derick to your family who support you especially your young daughters who handle all matters most professionally dealing with ticket reservation, accepting late bookings and still organising all the seating to everyone's satisfaction. Thank you girls it was a pleasure speaking to you and accepting our friends at the last moment, even providing us with superb tables.
P.S. Sorry I have not been able to capture everyone on candid camera and would appreciate if friends would kindly send me their photos so I can add to this blogspot to share with other friends. Email to forward pics is bennydesouza@btinternet.com
WISHING ONE AND ALL
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015
Love Benny & Betty
