Shrimps at the Rivoli ballroom

The "Shrimp band " Played at Peter Fishers 50th birthday party at the Rivoli ballroom http://www.therivoli.co.uk/ in London on Friday night. What a lovely evening it was, and in such an incredible venue . Its been heralded as London's best kept secret, and I can understand why. The building was once a music hall, and then a 1950's ballroom. It has been wonderfully preserved, and going there was like stepping back in time. The room was full of Peters friends , many of whom did "Party pieces". Peter topped off the evening off with his own brand of virtuosic violin playing. Among the guests were the Queens glass restorer who had (by coincidence) worked on the chandeliers in the ballroom, also a pianola roll maker (you don't meet one of those every day!)
