review

The Queen's Arms know how to throw a party, so it's no surprise that when it comes to throwing one for guv'nor Andy, it was going to go with one heck of a swing...

A very packed pub played host to family, friends and colleagues. Cherry appeared to be passing round and entire banquet on platters, and there were even a few cheap drinks on offer at a special happy hour.

The Drag With No Name took control of the stage with his unique fizzy concoction of song, comedy and a bit of fun-poking at colleagues and celebs. Vicky Pollard doing the Madonna Hung Up video is a very special treat.

Jamie Watson gave a cracking vocal performance, followed by, who else, but the QA Matriarch, Betty Swollocks.

We managed to stay for the presentation of the cake and as we retreated to our next appointment there was speculation of a stripper in the house...

Happy Birthday Andy - I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
