Fri 27th
Of course in a town as beautiful as Arundel, where else is there to be but in the town centre which is where  we were all afternoon on Friday.   The sun actually came out,  until we sang Summertime  at which point  it went in again but  how fab to have such a diverse audience, children, cyclists, shop keepers, shoppers, dog walkers,   delivery men, publicans, traffic wardens, well maybe not traffic wardens but to those  who turned out specially and those who  accidentally passed by it was great to see you.

Sat 28th
Sirens  made it onto the main stage and loved every minute .  Joined by Alex Kriche on the keys and vocals, Andy Sturges on drums, Matt Hughes on bass, Paul Dymott on guitar Shazza and Anna rocked out .  Thank you to a lovely friendly audience and a great technical crew.  It was a blast!

Sun 29th
Back on the mainstage for an acoustic set with Alex and Paul, the sun shone, beer flowed and it was a great atmosphere.
Finally, to end off our Arundel Festival experience we were joined by John Limpus on guitar for a crazy night in Jazzmins.  There was champagne, wild dancing, audience participation, and I remember a fluffy bear and an opera singer, but hey what goes on in Jazz mins should probably stay there.
Big thanks to all of our audiences, Glenda Harkiss and all the technical guys, a great week!

Our line up saw Brett Wellcome on keys, John Limpus on guitar, the ever funny Matt Hughes on double and electric bass, Andy Sturges on drums and Mr Suave, Steve Kelly on the sax.

We had a blast, thank you and congratulations to a lovely bride and groom.

Accompanied by Brett Wellcome on the Keys and John Limpus on acoustic guitar Anna and Sharon delivered a unique and varied collection of songs from mellow standards through to foot tapping favourites but all with that Sirens twist.  As always Cathy and Clive were the most welcoming of hosts, providing beautiful food for all of their guests and creating a lovely, warm atmosphere. Great to see so many familiar faces in such a lovely setting.

The wedding  party of Augustus and Theresa Brandt on Saturday  was  a beautiful  event in Petworth–  Steve Kelly led the first set with some lovely mellow sax tunes before the Sirens girls rocked it late into the night. Really great people and huge hospitality -  thank you for having us and wishing you both every happiness in your life together.
Beautiful sunshine in the grounds of Knepp Castle on Sunday afternoon saw great sets from The Fragellistics and the Hit Squad before The Sirens Band took to the stage for a final set.

Loads of fun in such a beautiful setting – thank you to everyone who stayed out even when the sun had gone in.

At the moment , as Sirens, Sharon and I do in excess of 60 gigs a year and this is without doubt one of our favourites. There is something very heart warming about seeing so many giants from the Property Industry taking a leap out of their comfort zone to put their faith in the hands of the PNTP team and the band. They burst through the rehearsal doors panting ‘here I am, I have rushed here from my 6:00pm meeting where I have talked projected targets , increasing nett worth and place shaping, I may have to go back to the office after this but for the next 20 minutes I am going to attempt to release my inner rock god for the sake of the greater good.’ It would be true to say that some inner rock gods are nearer the surface than others but, without exception, they emerge, oh yes they do !, and from where we stand, at the back, there purely to support the monster ,the moment of unleashing is a brilliant one.

We are all working towards the same thing, the night Thursday 3rd June, Old Billingsgate Market, an evening of fantastic entertainment, great food, drink and, most importantly, the chance to raise a load of money for Land Aid. I grew up in Stepney, lived on the Commercial Rd, a thoroughfare for many of London’s homeless. We had a stash of plastic cups under the sink . If someone shuffled to the door needing a cup of tea and a cheese sandwich then you made them one, that was the rule. I live in leafy Surrey now . We don’t get many callers. It is easy to forget . On the walk to Terminal Studios from London Bridge, however, on a day in May when it should be warm but it isn’t and it shouldn’t be raining but it is, there is a stream of reminders of the need for Land Aid; young people cocooned in sleeping bags, elderly men huddled in doorways, sons and daughters just on the move from one place to another. So for Party near the Park 2010, I say check out www.landiad.org and unleash the Rock Gods!

Annax

On stage with their band;  John Limpus, Brett Welcome, Andy Sturges and Matt Hughes Anna Thompson and Sharon Blaikie were also joined by top brass players  Frank Waldon and Adam Brown and together they played a wild 300 strong audience into the early hours of Sat morning. Sirens started with a mellow, acoustic after dinner set followed by two sets of dance anthems from the 70s through to new releases.

“The audience were brilliant” said Anna, “they were with us from the first number to the last, the people of West Sussex certainly know how to party! It has been a  fantastic event and we are delighted that the organisers have raised so much money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust”.
