£52,500 + raised for our charities this year

admin — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:17:31 +0000

Wow, what a night! The Motcomb Street Party is always a fantastic event but I have to say this year was the best ever. The atmosphere was sensational and the generousity of all who came was fabulous. Thank you so much for your support. It’s so so appreciated and the money raised will make a huge difference to both the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund & the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

I’ll be posting lots of photographs onto the Motcomb Street Party website but in the meantime you can see them on our Face Book page.

It’s Show Time!

Can you believe that tomorrow is the 6th July and another Motcomb Street Party???

Just a quick post to say thank you so so much for all of your incredible support. It means so much and without your support we wouldn’t be able to raise the monies we do for our charities. It’s really amazing when you think about it that a Street Party can have given over half a million pounds to various charities in the last 20 years.

It’s going to be a fantastic evening – as always.
Really looking forward to seeing you all there.

Mark Smallman has performed for us in the past with the Rollin Clones. So you all know he’s good! It’ll soon be time to “Rock and Roll” Really looking forward to seeing you all

Get your Tartan out because the Rod Stewart Experience will be in the “building” on 6th July

Really looking forward to seeing you all on 6th July. Guarentee it will be a fabulous evening!

I emailed a few friends to say that Garry Pease will be the Rod Stewart Experience at the Street Party and that we all love a bit of “Rodders”.
One reply (you know who you are!) said I’ve always loved Rod … still have the tartan. That made me laugh… I had totally forgotten about the tartan.

So anyone going to wear tartan on the 6th???

Motcomb Street Party Press Release 2011

admin — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:09:51 +0000

Motcomb Street set for a jubilant July as it unveils plans for its annual street party

On Wednesday 6 July 2011, the beautiful cobbled Motcomb Street, part of Grosvenor’s Belgravia estate, will once again be transformed for the annual street party.

This yearly Belgravia affair has become a landmark event in the London summer diary, with last year’s party raising a staggering £44,000 as some 4,000 revellers joined comedian Harry Hill, over 50 members of the Household Cavalry and an army of horses to raise funds for two very worthy charitable causes. This year’s party is shaping up to be better than ever, and will be raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund.

Kicking off the evening’s festivities, a mounted Household Cavalry procession along the street will no doubt draw crowds and set the scene for an evening of fun and frivolity. Later in the evening a number of fantastic tribute acts will take to the open-air stage including George Michael, Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart & The Faces whilst street entertainers will be showcasing everything from magic and sorcery to amusing showbiz impersonations.

Nestled in the heart of Belgravia, Motcomb Street is widely renowned for its fashion, art, beauty, luxurious interiors, gourmet restaurants and specialist food shops – many of which will be opening their doors late into the evening especially for the occasion. Meanwhile, party-goers can indulge in a delicious array of food and drink from one of the many stalls lining the street, including those from The Halkin, The Pantechnicon, the Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel and holders of a Royal Warrant, Waitrose.

The eagerly-anticipated ‘Tree of Life’ (bedecked with mystery envelopes ranging in value from £5 to £800) and auction will include prizes from some of the most illustrious brands on the street. One of the stellar lots is a day of Motcomb Street pampering for two including breakfast at Patisserie Valerie, an indulgent morning of hair and beauty treatments at Daniel Galvin Jnr and Glow Urban Spa, a Pierre Herme chocolate and macaroon tasting, lunch at The Pantechnicon and a bottle of champagne at Motcombs Restaurant & Bar. Alongside this, eager bidders are also in with a chance to win a day’s golf for four at the RAC Golf and Country Club, a shooting lesson and lunch with professional gunsmith Ray Ward, a day of hair and beauty at Gianni & Claudie, an exclusive dinner for eight at Motcombs Private Townhouse, a weekend stay at the Hyatt (including dinner for two at Mosimann’s Private Dining Room) and a fabulous trip for two to Dubai.

With a celebrity opening soon to be announced, why not join the residents and retailers of Belgravia to celebrate the glorious British summertime in the heart of this beautiful neighbourhood.

Philip Lawless, Chairman of the Street Party Committee comments: “Following the success of last year we are very much looking forward to welcoming visitors to the street once again for a fantastic evening’s celebrations which is a great fundraiser for two very worthwhile charitable causes.”

John Clark, Director North Belgravia adds: “Grosvenor is thrilled to be supporting this year’s Motcomb Street Party and all the outstanding retailers that line the street. Motcomb Street is a charming street with a real community atmosphere – this year’s party is set to be a real celebration.”

The Motcomb Street Party will take place from 5:30pm onwards on Wednesday 6 July 2011. On entering the event, visitors will be asked to make a £5 donation to support the charities involved.

Each envelope contains a number that determines the prize you’ll receive. The value of that prize is always considerably more than the cost of the envelope – usually double the cost of the envelope.

Rob Lamberti is George Michael at the Motcomb Street Party

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:50:24 +0000

Since winning his heat of the Stars in Their Eyes in 1994, Rob Lamberti has become one of the hottest acts around!
Rob lives in the North East and within months of his amazing rendition of Faith on Stars in Their Eyes, the endless phone calls for bookings persuaded him to turn professional.

Rob has now performed all over the world as a solo artist and his performance includes favorite such as Faith, Club Tropicana, Wake Me Up, and I’m Your Man – right up to his performance of Outside in his Authentic L.A Police uniform!

Spotted By Chris Evans where he performed at the 1999 Virgin Christmas Party alongside Atomic Kitten Raisa and the Clint Boone Experience, he subsequently went on to perform last Christmas on the Christmas Eve TFI Friday TV show, alongside the Pet Shop Boys and the Lightening Seeds.

No Stranger to TV, – Rob has also appeared on the Girlie Show and the Late late Show with the fabulous Corrs. He was also invited to appear as a guest with Shirley Bassey on the Spanish version of Stars in Their Eyes during 1996. His accurate images and unbelievable performance of the George Michael and Wham songs make this the number one live tribute show.
