LAST NIGHT - OMEGA House presents A Taste of Brazil

Last night Rio De Janeiro came to London's Omega House in Soho I was there soaking up the atmosphere which was truly truly truly tropical!!!

Once again in the presence of Olympics athletes such as Louis Smith to name a few the party rocked into the early hours of the morning. It was great to catch up with folks such as Ben Hudson aka Mr Hudson who I've not seen in ages and he quoted to me "only in London! This is just amazing"!


As always check out the pictures who was there what we drank and ate .
It was the perfect way to pass on the next Olympic in 2016 to Brazil!!!!

WHAT:  OMEGA House transformed into a tropical Brazilian sanctuary, welcoming members, VIPs and athletes to enjoy an evening of Brazilian inspired entertainment and decor.

TIME FOR CARNIVAL

Brazil came to Omega House last night, in the shape of extravagantly attired dancers, tumbling capoeira performers, fine South American steak and delicious cachaca cocktails, as guests toasted the prospect of the Rio 2016 Games.

Olympic champions Amy Williams and Peter Reed mingled with rugby players Serge Betsen and Ugo Monye, while Welsh theatre and film actor Luke Evans rubbed shoulders with the new Superman, Henry Cavill, Game Of Thrones’ Kit Harington and Natalie Dormer, and the award-winning star of Entourage, Jeremy Piven. The festive atmosphere ensured everyone was in the party mood. ‘To think, a year ago, we had riots,’ said England Rugby Union international Ugo Monye over a drink in the Secret Garden, ‘and now we’ve got this. It’s incredible how far we’ve come.’

Serge Betsen, meanwhile, was partying with friends in the Ladymatic Lounge. He said he was looking forward to Rugby Sevens being among the Olympic sports that will be played in Rio in 2016.

He added that he was enjoying his time in Britain. ‘I’m living the dream,’ said the French national, who was supporting Team France at London 2012.

Over in the Constellation Club Room, Luke Evans, soon to star in The Lord Of The Rings prequel The Hobbit, praised the Olympics not only for clearing London of traffic – ‘I can drive everywhere at the moment!’ – but also for introducing a generation to positive new role models.

‘I was at the athletics on Tuesday night,’ Evans said, ‘and I spoke to a mother of three who was so happy her kids have now got real legends to look up to instead of reality TV stars. I think that’s fantastic.’ And we’ve still two days of events left to enjoy.
