Walking up to The Venue in Melrose Arch you see a red carpet laid out leading you into the majestic entrance…  Your head keeps moving every which way because THE Venue is very aptly named.  The designs and lighting are absolutely magnificent!  The next thing you see after the red

carpet is a big “mesh-like” dome which is lit from the inside and this is only the beginning.  The Venue at Melrose Arch has an upstairs lounge and downstairs hall complete with a stage set-up.  What more can you want…?    So the scene is set in black and white tables and chairs with

candles and lovely flowers aon the tables.  Now the man of the moment arrives in his new (stunning)  Bentley.  “L”, “V” and their gorgeous kids are

dressed to the nines and ready for the party of the century.  Being a Portuguese family the function only starts 30 min later (or more) than

planned… (but they say good things come to those who wait)  “L”s two boys made the most precious speech to their dad (and considering that
they are like roundabout 5 and 8 it was a magical moment)  Father G who married “L” & “V” as well as christened both their boys said a few

precious words which I am sure no one will forget any time soon…  L and the boys went backstage to meet Jesse Clegg, get their cd’s signed

and get their photos taken with him.  And then it was time for Jesse Clegg to get everybody up and moving their bodies!  Let me tell you Jesse

Clegg is an awesome live performer.  It is amazing to see, when he is speaking over the mike he gets very shy but the moment the music plays and he starts singing it all goes away.  He submerses himself in the music.  I get Goosebumps just thinking about hearing Jesse Clegg singing

acoustic songs…  What an unforgettable night!
