BURNS NIGHT 2011 PARTY



When: 25th January
Where: St Martin's Lane Hotel, London


The Burns Supper at the St Martin was truly a spectacular night of celebrations and was a case of who's who's and who was not there.  With a guest list to make even the Queen jealous, with the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Jameela Jamil, Duncan Banantyne, Claire Grogan, Sharleen Spiteri, Edwyn Collins, Lady Helen Taylor, Prince Cassius,  I could really go on and on.

Although the night was a huge success I must talk about why we were there! It was to raise money for Clic Sargent, a charity that raises funds for children suffering with cancer so a very worthy cause. 




There was the usual Burns Night partying with the Haggis which was addressed by Peter Capaldi and later served to guests along with the most delicious beef I've ever tasted and salmon. 




We were later treated with music from Edwyn Collins who belted out some of his greatest hits including "Girl like you" (awesome) and of course the creme del la creme was when Sharleen Spiteri and Texas took to the stage.

The raffle and fundraising raise lots of funds, I won a designer handbag which I absolutely love!

Great night for a great cause with lots of down to earth and generous celebs...
