Fairbairn Private Bank hosts stars in their eyes event

9 July 2007

TONIGHT MATTHEW… A DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT APPROACH

Fairbairn Private Bank hosted a fabulous Stars in their Eyes event at Mount Murray for staff and friends, with four acts competing for the grand prize of one hundred pounds.  The two hundred strong audience got in to the spirit of things and turned out in an impressive array of fancy dress costumes to cheer on friends and colleagues. A bottle of champagne was awarded to Kiss and also the Village People for the best costumes on the night.

The entertainment line up included Aerosmith and Run DMC with a rocking rendition of Walk This Way. Sister Sledge gave a smooth performance of We Are Family. The Proclaimers got everyone’s feet tapping and hands clapping to I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) and The Wurzels completed the line up with Combine Harvester.

The winning performance, as assessed by an independent panel of guest judges, was The Proclaimers, better known as David Carridge and Iain Wood. David, whose day job is Management Accountant at Fairbairn Private Bank, quipped: “Next stop, X-Factor!”

The “Take on That” tribute band treated the audience to a feast of Take That’s greatest hits, literally throwing themselves into a variety of energetic dance moves.

Greg Horton, Managing Director of Fairbairn Private Bank, dressed as Beatles legend John Lennon, thanked the organisers Rachael Seed (dressed as Agnetha from Abba), Louise Shimmin (one of the Pink Ladies from Grease) and Tracy Christian (as Beyoncé Knowles), from the Staff Social Committee for co-ordinating such a fantastic and memorable event.
