Listen here all you fellas and dames
it’s the time of the prohibition. The time of illicit gambling, bath tub gin, mint julep, gangsters and molls, feather boas, cigarette holders, black and white silent movies and of course… JAZZ!
As guests arrive to the "1920's and All That Jazz" function on
March 3rd 2012 commencing 6.00pm at the Mounts Bay Yacht Club.
Guests may be surprised to receive their first 1920’s pre dinner drink in a bottle or tea cups but it’s the time of the prohibition and they are now in an illicit 1920’s drinking den (so as not to arouse suspicion of the long arm of the law).
Your first drink could perhaps be a cocktail as it is this era when favourites such as the Martini where born to help improve the taste of secretly brewed gin and vodka. Illegal boot leg beer and wine can also be found.
Pre dinner Gangster & Molls guests will mix and mingle on the lawn and enjoy some pre dinner entertainment with the KYSB Big Band. As the sun sets the dinner announcement will made and guests will taken through to the 1920’s dining area.
During dinner you will enjoy the silky tones of JUKEBOX a 1940’s style four piece ukulele based group including ukuleles, banjo ukuleles, ukulele bass and a percussionist
Straight after dinner it’s ShowTime! with a full professional performance by James Flynn and the Graham Wood Quartet. (Some of the nations finest Jazz musicians.)
During this time a range of auction items will be available for inspection so bring some extra cabbage.
This modern approach to social entertainment is all in the name of charity and will raise funds for a common cause; The Beer and Beef Club, Edith Cowan University Scholarship and more importantly People Who Care’s ‘Power a Pensioner’ initiative which aims to highlight the hardships endured by pensioners and the elderly in the West Australian community.
