oh la la! French frolics in Fleet Street...review and pictures.

A little bit of France in rainy London



The New Sheridan Party took place last Saturday. Despite losing a few of our favourite members to the Rythm Riot plenty of others braved the gales and driving rain to make it to the Punch Tavern. Actually the stormy night made what is one of the most attractive pubs in London even more welcoming, and once through the door one was greeted by Torquil de Arbuthnot, replendent in waiters garb. In fact the committee were all dressed as waiters, I should watch out next time you visit your favourite bistro. The interior was mirrored and full of the twinkling of candles and, later on, gentlemen's monocles. One of the greatest pleasures of the night was watching the flamboyant guests arrive in small groups, shaking the rain off.
The entertainment of the night included Marcel Lucont, a French styled comedian who had nice line in droll dry wit and a dislike of the London Tube system. In addition the lovely Maria Trevis warbled her way through a selection of French, and not so French ditties, teasing and involving the crowd (always a brave move at the NSC). In the games room onion battle, a variation on the game 'orange battle' popularised by the Burlesque Brunchers was played. Pinning the legs on the frog, well a frog of distinctly non-French origin anyway, kept things going. The raffle was keenly followed and to celebrate the club's anniversary the 'Northern Contingent' represented by Mr Rupert Bell presented the committee with a monster sized French Fancy.

It was a splendid night. Attendees were as ever eclectic yet stylish, berets, can-can ruffles, plus-fours, corsetry, feathers and uniforms, napoleonic or otherwise were much in evidence. The New Sheridan Club bi annual parties are small, perfectly formed and in my experience of London's night life unique. Antique victorian ankle boots, hand sewn ruffles, rainy tits, rogue moustaches and absinthe induced languor were all in evidence.
The pictures below give some indication of the flavour of the event. Hopefully I will see everyone again at the Chap ball for a bit of seasonal fop-anarchism...

  9. The very heart of your writing while sounding
    agreeable

    originally, did not really sit perfectly with me personally after some time.
    Someplace throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a
    while. I however have got a problem with your leaps in assumptions and

    one would do well to help fill in all those gaps. In the

    event you can accomplish that, I could surely end up

    being fascinated.

  10. Along with the whole thing that

    appears to be developing inside this specific subject


    matter, all your perspectives are actually relatively stimulating.
    Even so, I appologize, because I can not give
    credence to your

    whole strategy, all be it radical none the

    less. It appears to me that your commentary

    are actually not entirely validated and in fact you are generally your self not even entirely certain of the point.

    event I did take pleasure in looking at it.
