Amovate’s Events Team built a fantastic replica stage of the Cavern Liverpool to host “The Bottles” in what turned out to be a fantastic first event night with The Fonte do Vale Restaurant.
Steve Baker’s vision was turned into reality with a perfect back drop painted by Hugo and his Father. The whole set took 8 hours to put together after a lot of work a week ago, when Steve Scott joined SB to build the base frames. Additional lighting and wall posters set the scene.
Tickets sold out within four days and those who were lucky enough to get tickets were not disappointed.
The Bottles were shell shocked when they arrived and saw the set, and their performance certainly matched the venue. They were overwhelmed by it all and said that they had never performed anywhere where so much effort was put in, for them to perform.
The Fonte do Vale brought in extra staff to deal with the 100 plus ticket holders and their hard work was richly appreciated by all. Prompt service with a smile was the order of the day and manager Sofia was congratulated for all her help in making the evening an outstanding occasion.
Amovate Members, it was announced will in future be awarded a 10% discount on their meals when they eat at The Fonte, on production of a current up to date Membership Card a fantastic gesture by the owners.
The evening went with a swing with two sets from firstly “Back to the 60’s”, with the group playing many favourites that the crowd sung along to and then “The Bottles” suited, booted and wigs as well, taking us all back to the heady days of The Beatles.
A fantastic evening was topped off with a comment from Amovate’s past President Peter Johnson who was lucky enough to go to the “CAVERN” several times…he said” I can’t believe how good these boys are,I was at the Cavern the lunchtime The Beatles announced and played their first record Love me Do and tonight brings back so many happy memories”.
Now the question is Shall we do it Again? ………….Watch this Space
