Saturday night was my first evening event for YO1 Radio on what has to be the hottest day of the year! That didn't stop people flocking in to the concert room of Haxby Sports Bar (air conditioned) Billed as a Charity Night for The Snappy Trust, with a brilliant band entertaining, fun games plus pie and peas supper, what more can you ask for! The venue is old stomping ground for me and each year, I go back to be an elf at their Christmas Party. It felt like a pair of comfy old slippers and everyone was so welcoming (and generous when I went around with raffle tickets)
Well what a night! Chris Marsden was DJ and host - keeping Ron Wathey on his toes, having fun with the games. Zakk Taylor and The Rat Race headlined and were superb! I've never seen them before but believe me these guy are up and coming and, along with most, I danced the whole set! Even Snappy danced :-) The pies were homemade by the butcher next door and the raffle and auction just spoke for themselves as the amount raised was £1,942.00. YES in one night! We know how to party! Thank you to all the staff at Haxby Sports Bar.
