The Bodega provides all of the festive spirit at the Christmas Covers Party, which was celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year...
What can I say about the Christmas Covers Party? It’s the office party for part of the Nottingham music scene.
Anticipated and revered in equal parts, and usually lots of alcohol spilt. What a great night.
It’s all brilliant fun, and it raised loads of money for local charities. This year, people donated £2,088 in all.
Highlights were covers of Shocking Blue Send me a postcard, Yeah Yeah Yeahs MAPS, Half Man Half Biscuit Vatican Broadside, a load of PIL. There were plenty of others I can’t remember.
Strike-supporting Santa jumpers, top hats... you name it, it was there – well, maybe some of it.
The night gave you a warm christmas pud’ feeling of satisfaction, richness and overdoing it, because you love everyone.
So many friends were there, it was hard to move through the crowd without taking a few minutes to stop and catch up.
Yes, it really is the season to excel in love, friendship, and goodwill to all.
Merry Christmas, or whatever mid-winter celebration you wish to have to light up your nights.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
