Rose birthday at Hebden Bridge

6th May 2012: We travelled to Yorkshirt, to take part in Sally's sister Rose's birthday celebration. It was at La Perla in Hebden Bridge, and a fine time was has by all - great food and a superb band.
The band 'Mean Business', originally called Doris and the Dinner Ladies. Excellent all round, the brass, the vocals, drumming and guitar. A great repertoire too.
 Rose and Paul in the foreground. MB really got people up and dancing!
Paul makes a small speech at the start to wish Rose a happy birthday. Thanks for organising such a splendid birthday party!

See below for some links to Youtube for some of the music.

One amusing observation: we stayed at the White Lion in the centre of Hebden Bridge. We have heard the 'urban myth' that HB is the 'gay capital' of Yorkshire.... well, perhaps that is right. The TV in the hotel room was only able to tune into two stations. Channel 1 and 2 which should be BBC were Gay Rabbit1 and Gay Rabbit2 !!
Something needs to be done about the 3G reception there! It was a relief to get back to Nottingham and some good phone reception.
