With the Rivolli Ballroom becoming a major victim of its own success, Magic Theatre is finding it hard to get dates for its events and I for one feel I am missing out big time. Good job then we still have the Brentwood Party-nights to keep our spirits up, and it’s always a great time to meet up with friends, be it old or new alike. Not having many other chances of nights out recently, we have stayed on, an extra night after the party and then enjoyed some really nice days out in Chelmsford browsing the shops. We found a little cafe for lunch there where we were well received, and to just sit and people-watch can be quite entertaining. I have found generally that the people we’ve encountered on these days out are not as judgmental as they were 20 years ago.
