Madonna
tribute Mitch Stevenson provided a witty and saucy cabaret on behalf
of Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice at their fund-raising
evening hosted by Spice Master Restaurant at 45/47 Nuxley Road,
Belvedere, Kent on Monday 11th September.
Beginning and
ending her act in Madonna's signature corset, fishnet tights and
black ankle boots Mitch sang Madonna's most popular songs, including
'Material Girl' when she donned an embroidered black bustier and net
skirt emblazoned with a variety of sequinned symbols. The artiste
enlivened her performance as she drew both unsuspecting waiters and
Hospice Board members onto the restaurant stage to dance with her,
eliciting much amusement from other diners.
It was an
unusual Board outing for the Hospice team, which included Joint Chief
Executive Jim Bennett; Peter Butler, Head of Fundraising and
Development; Dr Brendan O'Neill, Consultant in Palliative Medicine;
Jenny Matthews, Human Resources Manager ;Susan Adams, Community
Fundraiser; and Sue Smyth, Publicity Services and Chief Executive's P.A.
Raffle prizes
included a bottle of whisky won by Denise Thomas of Belvedere; a case
of artist's materials, which Louise Thomason of Bexleyheath won;
while Hazel Whybrow of Belvedere scooped a large cuddly toy dog.
A total of
£357 was raised from a proportion of dinner takings and the
raffle to assist the hospice, which is the largest charity within the
two neighbouring boroughs, to continue its sterling work in caring
for those residents of Greenwich and Bexley who are suffering from
life-limiting illnesses.
