London Live — Tue, 18 May 2010 15:35:02 +0000

Cocktails … Casinos … Car Chases: Bond Comes to Islington

Join us at The Chapel Bar in Islington on Friday 4th June for an exclusive James Bond Casino Night. For one night only, The Chapel Bar will be transformed into a mecca of all things 007, including martinis and full-sized full sized casino tables with professional croupiers.

Guests will be able to enjoy the casino and the Bond-themed surroundings over two floors and a heated terrace area. Hand-made (and mouthwatering!) pizzas will be available until 11pm.

The aim of the casino is to raise money for charity, therefore guests will be able to purchase “fun money” and all the proceeds will go to The Samaritans. As an incentive to raise the highest possible amount of money for this very worthy cause, we’ve lined up some terrific prizes for our most successful “gamblers”.

Doors open at 7.30pm; the casino runs from 8pm-11pm; and the venue (and dancefloor!) will stay open until 3am.

Andrea Mann at Le Cercle

New residency
Starting this week, I’ll be singing and playing piano – at the same time, people! – every Wednesday night at the gorgeous restaurant/bar Le Cercle, a stone’s throw from Sloane Square. So come and prop up the bar (I can highly recommend their lychee martini) or enjoy amazing French tapas-style dishes in the restaurant. I’ll be playing a mellow mixture of pop, jazz, bossa nova and originals every week, 7.30-10.30pm.
