Description
Mrs Peel's, the Swinging Sixties party inspired by Emma Peel, the catsuited heroine of stylish 1960s TV show The Avengers, invites you to a charity ball in honour of actor Patrick Macnee who played Emma's bowler-hatter partner John Steed, and who passed away earlier this year.
In a penthouse private club, with views across the city from heated terraces, there will be a gala dinner with special guests, exclusive performances and a charity auction, followed by a Mrs Peel's club night with live music, dance acts, DJing and more.
• Special guests Peter Wyngarde, star of 1960s TV detective show Jason King, and actress and singer Aimi MacDonald, both of whom appeared in episodes of The Avengers, plus Rodney Marshall, author of books on the various series
• Hosting by lounge legend Count Indigo
• Live music from psychedelic rock band The Jetset International
• DJ Martin Green creating a soundtrack ambience
• Mind-expanding gyrations from our very own six-piece dance troupe Catsuit
A-Go-Go
• A vintage 30/98 motorcar, the model driven by Steed, kindly loaned by Vauxhall
• Awesome views from our rooftop terraces
• Psychedelic lighting effects
• Cocktail bar
For dinner guests the evening begins at 7pm with a three-course meal, featuring a performance by Catsuit A-Go-Go, a talk by Rodney Marshall on Steed's cultural impact, a personal recollection by Peter Wyngarde followed by a Q&A session with him, a charity auction and a video message from Diana Rigg herself.
For non-dining ticket holders the club night begins upstairs at 8.30 and features live music from the seven-piece Jetset International (playing your Sixties favourites and ticking all the psychedelic boxes—Hammond organ, sitar, flute and go-go dancing backing singers), Aimi MacDonald ("the lovely Aimi MacDonald" of At Last the 1948 Show) in conversation and singing to piano accompaniment, DJing from Martin Green, dance routines from Catsuit A-Go-Go and a talk by Rodney Marshall. Peter Wyngarde will also be holding court in the library for the benefit of nightclub guests.
The event has been kindly sponsored by Studio Canal, who own the worldwide rights to The Avengers, and we will be raising money for The Actors Fund and Medicinema. More at www.mrspeels.club.
