PARTY MARTY

Anyone who did not go to Party Marty on Saturday 17 November missed a great event.  The threatening bad weather never eventuated which was just as well as there would have been a lot of disappointed people had the rain set in.

The open air concert was the Martinborough Rugby Club’s fundraising event at the Club grounds. The band was “Life in the Fast Lane” – an Eagles tribute band. First half was songs from the 70’s and 80’s – so enjoyable including a great Neil Diamond cover.

Then the main event, The Eagles! This band is really wonderful and those Eagles fans who have never been able to go to the genuine article were totally in agreement that these guys were in no way second fiddle. They were as close as you could get to the original.

The young (and not so young) danced and sang along, with a wonderful atmosphere. There was entertainment for the kids and a lovely safe environment for them to run around freely. 
The food was great, lovely Martinborough wines and no bad behaviour.
 
I hope the rugby club do it again next year so those who missed out this year can make sure they attend. Everybody involved in the organisation should give themselves a big pat on the back for a job well done!!
