Jamie Primrose exhibition – Private viewing
We loved the Jamie Primrose art exhibition before the artist’s London debut.  His collection leads you on a magical journey through the city’s waterways and hidden canals, uncovering some spectacular sights and stunning vistas: From tranquil early morning ripples by the piazzas, to shimmering iridescent reflections at dusk, Jamie Primrose’s paintings capture the unique ethereal atmosphere and the magical play of light and colour from the sky onto Venice’s impressive architecture and romantic timeless waterways.

Created by Spoerli in 2003 In den Winden im Nichts (Winds in the Void) is set to the cello suites II, III & VI by J S Bach and was making it’s  Scottish Premiere. The 38 dancers of the main company performed on stage with the up and coming dancers of the Junior Ballet in this entrancing and breathtaking production.  'Spoerli has succeeded in creating an energetic ballet which, with all sportiness, is sometimes elegant, classical, spirited and animated, with more than the occasional bow to Balanchine and van Manen.'

Cocktails masterclass at Dragonfly
We slipped into the weekend with style, mixing our own cocktails and shaking and stirring with the best of them!  There was more to it than meets the eye.  All that shaking and stirring is actually quite tricky.  Have to say we were all very impressed with Jim's fabulously rhythmic shaking technique and Brian's kung fu approach to cocktail making!  We were also most taken with our expert mixologist and his er... mixing techniques.  I’ve  managed to secure his services for our Caribbean Beach Party on 16 December, do put the date in your diaries...
