Tales of the Tattoo

Once more we utilized the excellent facilities of the Phoenix Club and the generous services of the volunteers who run it - not only during the evening itself but also earlier in the afternoon to show us how to set the equipment up.
It is several years since we've organised a purely social evening based around the Edinburgh Tattoo. Nearly 30 attendees eventually assembled, dancers, their friends & additional Phoenix club members who had seen the event advertised. After our 'butties and chip' supper, and a last frantic run on the bar, the lights went out and we spent an awe inspiring hour on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle. The experience was enhanced by the size of the projection screen which is enormous, and excellent sound quality, giving us an almost immersive experience. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures - but that in itself shows how engrossing the film was.
Once we'd caught our breath, replenished our drinks and enjoyed a couple of trailers for the Club's upcoming Film Nights, we completed the evening with a 'jolly good sing-song'. Well done everyone who joined in to create such a fun end to the evening. We have to thank Tina for selecting the songs, preparing the lyrics and leading us all beautifully. She also treated us to a couple of solos, which was way more than we expected and truly made the evening special. ​
