Last night was very different from the past ten or so without our beloved I and B, but nevertheless, I think you can say we made it our own!
It was our first with Alice, who persuaded us that the way to go was to karaoke like there was no tomorrow, in the very last hours of 2024.
Who knew that such a fragrant, genteel and demure young lady could belt out "Living on a Prayer" and "Hero" with so much force, power and conviction! She certainly gave Bonnie Tyler a run for her money. Goodness only knows what "you know who" made of it all, but let's just say that Alice was totally unfazed when all the chandeliers Chez Le Towers swayed and rattled in unison!
With the ice broken, Nigel did a mean rendition of "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now".
Darrell performed "Purple Rain" with very great aplomb .......
...... and me? Well, I took the mic for "Final Countdown" and "Eye of The Tiger". It was a great night, of which, I think, Darrell's potent cocktails may have paid a significant role in its carnage/success, whichever way you look at it!
So, we greet the inaugural day of 2025 slightly worse for wear, but we wouldn't have had it any other way.
We haven't seen or heard from Alice as of yet, but no doubt she'll be round in a bit to hopefully partake in 2025, New Years Power Ballards Part 2! Should questions be asked in Parliament, we'll all just put on our most innocent of faces and declare that we heard absolutely nothing last night (or today) and that we promise we were all in bed by nine!! What are we like?

Well done to you all! I hope 'im upstairs, old misery guts, doesn't complain.
Sounds like you all had a very entertaining & enjoyable New Year’s Eve-perfect.
Happy New Year to you all and who knows, maybe we’ll meet up this year.
