On Friday 4th March, St Mary’s Hospice hosted its first ever 60’s evening at Chequer’s Hotel in Dalton. The event was a great success and a crowd of 140 people were treated to the sound of the sixties as they were brought back to life by Pete Kassells, Second Edition, Biggles and DJ Billy.
The event raised £1200 for St Mary’s, which was a wonderful achievement and is thanks to the generosity of all those who attended and supported the raffle.
Attendees had a fantastic time as they travelled back to the time of peace signs, free love and flower power as the entertainers offered a retrospective of the songs that revolutionized the music industry. To add to the atmosphere, lots of people had taken the time to don their favourite bell bottoms, tie-dye shirts and love beads to put them in the mood for "grooving" to the very best tunes of the times. A prize was awarded for the best male and female fancy dress costume.
A big thank you goes to all the performers who gave up their time for FREE to make the evening so special, to all those who generously provided raffle prizes and to Chequers for hosting the event.
