Following on from Roger's La Salle Verte mailing..
- 13 May 2008 06:552035Our very own lovable laddie Roger Walkden sends out his Dover Loyalty Scheme mailshots and he did us a favour this week by letting us know via the aforementioned mailings about a very interesting event to be held this thursday at La Salle Verte( formerly the Green Room) We have now booked tickets for same.
I have heard lots about Louise Orfilla but have never either seen her in the flesh or heard her sing. Louise is appearing, singing, and is accompanied by an electric piano this thursday at La Salle Verte, what a wholly imaginative idea to put this on, so a very well done to the organisers.
For £15 you get the performance, a chicken curry dinner(or Chilli or Vegetarian) and a glass of wine to boot. Well..who could resist. I will be there with a few of the gang and will get a picture or two for publication, all being well.
If any of you get down there will be pleased to see you
Phone number of La Salle Verte 201547email: dover7@msn.com - 13 May 2008 08:062042Well done Paul - thanks for that.
If I can find the time, everytime I send out one of those emails, I'll post it on here too.
There are some great music events on in many of Dover's pubs etc. Live music of all kinds is alive and well in Dover - but not publicised anywhere near enough.
Roger - 13 May 2008 08:562045We will be there..... Should be a great evening.
- 13 May 2008 17:362050I'm really looking forward to it, Haydn and his lovely wife Diane are great hosts and their staff always make us feel welcome. It should be a great evening, looking forward to seeing you all there.
- 13 May 2008 20:562060Will be there to looking forward to hearing Louise as I miss her at the roundhouse back in april, she,s done a fair bit of work with blackfish.
- 16 May 2008 08:512181We went along to this event last night and all the tables were full so it looked like quite a sellout. It was very very enjoyable indeed and we had a fair few jars I can tell you... and of course I demolished my Chicken Curry with an aplomb unforeseen in recent times in Dover. The speed of fork moving between plate and gob was unparalled.
The only forumites to go were Roger W and Jean. BarryW and Alison. Colette Boland and Barry W-S, and Jan Tranter and meself bring it up at the rear. Aaah the ladies were gorgeous and the fellas were...well.. there!lol
I will have some pictures later when I get round to everything.
Louise Orfilla was a very relaxed and an effortlessly talented performer with a lovely voice. Very enjoyable to watch. There were two Richard's backing her up and they were marvellous as well with bags of musical talent.. One was Richard Esdale of Blackfish fame and the other was Richard Ansell, he of the dazzling keyboard.
Brilliant event organised by owner Haydn.email: dover7@msn.com - 16 May 2008 09:282185What a smashing time we had last night, the entertainment was brilliant, the company and food made the evening complete, looking forward to the next one
- 16 May 2008 11:262190Indeed it was a great evening. Looking forward to more, there nothing like a bit of live entertainment, even on a Thursday evening when I have to get up at 5am the next day!!!!
- 16 May 2008 14:222196Wow what a good evening been going on about the talent we have in dover and last night was a good example, had us girls danceing to it anyway
- 16 May 2008 16:292201Jan, if a remake of 'The Commitments' is on the cards and they need a new girl backing group, I'll be sure to let them know your contact number
- 17 May 2008 07:302215Yes it was a great evening - and company too of course.
The food was good, as was the service, but I just loved the music and the keyboard skills - fantastic, it really was.
The next musical evening at La Salle Verte is on the 29th. of May with the Mercurials - Spanish, Jazz, Folk and Blues - another great evening in store.
