Those of you who attended the Post Christmas Party a year ago will remember we were entertained by the comedy piano duo, Katzenjammer.

Now it turns out that the boys are doing two shows at The Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh on the 18th & 19th August.

I'm throwing this out there as a suggestion for one of our activities.

On the positive side, we know them, so they're a 'safe bet' (and they're a knockout live act). We can also probably work out a group discount, but Musselburgh is about 7 miles from the centre of Edinburgh, so either bus or taxis required. The show starts at 7.30pm and finishes about 9.30pm (with an interval).

Over to the floor to discuss...

As a point of fact Jim - we run a number of catering contracts in Scotland and the spend per head is generally higher than in England or Wales[y]

Mind you - this may be as a reult of our offering a 23 item breakfast!!!:D[:p]

Just back from Edinburgh after going up to cover the Programme Launch for Broadway Baby, and it the (huge) line up includes plenty of stuff that sounds really worth seeing. The Goodies and Neil & Christine Hamilton doing a chat show (?) seem curious, or the show where you get a haircut. How can you turn it down?

With 1,867 shows to choose from, it would take you 5 years, 11 months and 16 days to see every performance back-to-back. Those that are only coming up for the day better think about staying up late ;)

Sounds great Pete.


I always think about staying up late, and sometimes I do it too. :)
