London Santa Run

On Saturday, I took part in The London Santa Run – a 6K race through Battersea Park.  2000 runners dressed in Santa suits, in aid of the charity Disability Snowsport UK.  Quite a spectacle.

We hosted a little festive lunchtime gig at Wieden + Kennedy’s offices today by the Puppini Sisters. Our basement is obviously one of the highlights of their performance schedule – tomorrow they’re doing GMTV and the Royal Variety Performance.

The girls and their band were fab. They wowed the lunchtime crowd with swing-style renditions of classics old and new – Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Wuthering Heights, and their Christmas single, Jingle Bells.

Nat B had organised mulled wine and mince pies for the revellers.

Many thanks to our friends at Universal Music for organising the gig.
