As part of Parkinson’s Disease awareness week this April Charlotte Thomson Art & Illustration, (in association with Darkwave Art & View from the Top Gallery) present “Ooh La La! Party for Parkinson’s”.  This fundraising event takes place during Parkinsons Awareness week (April 7^th – 13^th)  and will be in honour of Tommy Thomson, the grandfather of Charlotte Thomson and a Parkinson’s sufferer.

The event will aim to raise over £1000 for the Parkinson’s Disease Society, the charity that offers support to Parkinson’s Disease sufferers and their families.
 
Ooh La La! Party for Parkinson’s will take the form of an old fashioned burlesque and wine evening, with performers from around the country and live musical acts.  Taking full advantage of the original 1930s art deco features of the Test Match pub (a 2 star listed building), the theme of the night will be vintage glamour, with gangsters and flappers and plenty of glitz and glamour.

 The night will be exclusive with only 50 tickets available. Guests will be able to enjoy an evening of entertainment seated in lush surroundings with full table service for the drinks of their choice.

 Due to the kind support of many businesses from around the UK there will be a live auction and a raffle of beautiful vintage and burlesque inspired items, including art, jewellery, millinery and corsetry.

 Performances will include a beautiful classic fan dance courtesy of Millie Dollar, saucy comedy skits from Diva Hollywood and expect the unexpected with contortionist and escapologist Chris Cross. Midlands based Fleur Du Mal and Minty Darkstar will wow us with an art deco inspired dance and a classic butterfly dance. Nottingham based illusionist and magician Dee Christopher will baffle the audience with his walkabout performance. Local singers Erwin James, Emerald Ace and Hannah Sharples will take you back to the night clubs of the 40s with their soulful voices.

 Ooh La La! Party for Parkinson’s will be a charity event with a difference and one not to miss. Thanks to the generosity of our Main sponsor View from the Top Gallery all of the proceeds from ticket sales and the raffle and auction will go direct to the charity.
