With the sad demise of The Lamb in Hartley Wintney as a music venue, we were a bit stumped about where we could stage our usual Christmas extravaganza.

So, in walks Richard “Wozzer” Worrall, serial entrepreneur, fast bowler, lady’s handicapper and X-Factor fan, with the idea of taking this much loved event to new levels.

Woz, in a manner I’m sure Epstein would have been proud of, has secured the rather swish Hartley Wintney Golf Club as a venue, pulled in the fabulous support act Mandu and designed a high level marketing campaign to support the event (ok, some posters).

Now, because we’re having to hire the Golf Club we’re going to have to ask you dip into to your pocket to the tune of a measly fiver. Any profits made on the night will go towards ‘Phil’s new watchstrap fund’. Album sales have almost brought enough in for this worthy cause but we’re hoping that this event will finally fill the coffers up enough for him to stop going on about it.

Woz assures me that he’s nearly sold all of the tickets already! The only way to get one of the few remaining ‘golden’ tickets is to ask Wozzer nicely for one (ticket that is). So, to avoid disappointment, send me an email using the contact form below and I’ll pass on your details.

Oh yeah, it’s happening on Tuesday 29th December 2009. We’d love to see you.

Ho ho ho.
