With the benefit of extensive
corporate sponsorship, NSW 2008 has the
largest entertainment budget of any NSW so far, and the party
town of Nottingham is without doubt the best place to spend it!
The
luckiest man in Area 14 is Steve Workman. Veteran of many NSWs
and Area Social Convenor for 4 years, Workman won the
coveted role of 'Entertainment Officer' for NSW 2008.
Nearly as lucky is Steve's right-hand-man
Adam Amer - himself a performer and entertainer (and legend in
his own shower cubicle).
Steve and Adam are no strangers to
organising big Table events, having laid on a number of Area
Dinners and Ladies Nights with more than 500 people in
attendance.
As
many of these have been held at the East Midlands Conference
Centre, we are no strangers to the venue either. We put a
whacking great load of cash in the budget right from the off and
- thanks to sponsorship and strong bookings - we've been able to increase this
even further. Let there be no doubt in Sherwood Forest and
beyond, these men will deliver an entertainment package of epic
proportions.
Here's a taster of
what's in store...
Friday is a rolling programme from around
11pm till 2am. It kicks off with a
fantastic pub rock band called Firewire:
real pro's who will get the place jumping
come-what-may - real
'sing-along stuff!'.
Following on, we'll
introduce a top notch comedian, Pete Jonas (who has
a fantastic CV).
We are also planning a crazy guest
appearance from somebody you might have seen
on TV... watch this space, she will make your
eyes pop!
The Saturday is an absolute cracker. 6pm starts with meet and
greet by the Deville Dolls and The Beatle Boys for drinks before
the main dinner at 7-30pm (NSW has never
before seen pre-dinner entertainment on the Saturday).

The Long Eaton Brass Band will
provide a rousing backdrop to the gala
dinner, and a thoroughly experienced compere and comedian Jed
Stone will take charge during the formalities
with side-splitting wit and have the
entire audience revved up to party by the trophy presentations.
The next part of the show
will include a truly wonderful frolic through the world
of Burlesque. A parade of saucy and humorous girls show us what
we have been missing out on. Adam went to see
this act 3 times, he loved it so much. Guaranteed to impress.
Just when you think you
can't take anymore, we
intend to wow you
with the massive 'Band From
County Hell'. Forget The Pogues and
Kirsty McCall, Julie will have all our friends from over the
borders rocking the place like no tomorrow.
Hold on to your kilts fellas! You are
going to LOVE the Band From County Hell.
If that isn't enough we finish with another sight for sore-eyes,
the gorgeous and sexy
Vicky Clusky (aka Kylie).
Yes oh yes, we were going to give her a rest
but we've been BEGGED to bring her back, but this time
we've commanded her to
bring a troop of dancers and to spice up her act a
little!
We promise we have checked and double
checked the credentials of all the acts, and we can say they
represent the best folks for the job.
The night has something
for everyone, we have designed it to surprise and flow like no
other show you have seen.... sit back, relax and enjoy
the ride.
Get a pass out!
