Well done Beate!
What a fab evening at the after party of the premiere of First Night, I knew it would be at Boisdale of Canary Wharf - a posh restaurant with jazz band. Premiere was weird, no fans outside greeting, or red carpet or journalists or photographers.
Shame about the film, so long, boring and badly scripted, childish story, and unfortunately WIQ was bad with the sound, it seems like the film was badly dubbed and the sound was coming from the back of the room or it was echoing, and film only saved by the brilliant beautiful opera singing, fab Mozart music and lovely scenery of the location of the film.
As expected the film started late at 7.35pm, as people only started coming in from about 6.50pm for a 7pm start and instead of finding seats to sit down they were standing around. Then the film had to be introduced and the stars that were able to make it were introduced by standing up from where they were sitting, but you could hardly make them out as the screening room was so dark, supposed to be Sarah Brightman, Mia Maestro and Julian Ovenden, but they could have been anybody standing up when introduced!
We sat in the back with lovely Beate and her OH, but didn't spot June.
The after party was another thing though at Boisdale at Canary Wharf. Drinks and canapes were flowing, the jazz band were really good, after eating enough we went to boogie the night away and waited for the dessert, which came at 11.20pm after most people had left and only a handful of people were around, drinks were still flowing at the bar. The choc brownies was the melt in your mouth kind, and there were other tartlets and meringues, all yummy. The service was excellent. I went star spotting, only to find Nancy Dell'Olio having dinner downstairs, and actor Ryan Elliott not in the film, but looked liked Julian Ovenden from the film or was it Oliver Dimsdale?
Friends liked the film, but said it was not brilliant, and seen better.
5/5 for film, 10/10 for after party!
Meringue? I love meringues! 
I want some!!!!!
Wonder who b*ght tickets!
