Our very own Caro Emerald Tribute turns TV star!

Our very own Caro Emerald Tribute debuts in a national TV show this very evening!

Caitlen Bailey, who does a marvellous impression of the dutch vintage chanteuse, performed at our last big event back in November at Colchester Town Hall, to rapturous applause...

This evening, you can catch her performing as Caro's double on "I Can't Believe" on Sky 191 or Freesat 400 at 7pm...so tune in to see how she does performing alongside some of the UK's most talented tribute acts..

She's sooo talented and great fun to boot- we even managed to sneak a couple of minutes of larking around time with her in the photo booth at the last fair!

We caught up with her earlier today to ask how how filming had gone, and what we can expect from the programme:

"Filming was a great experience and very enjoyable. It was a treat to meet the other fantastic tribute acts too. I can't wait to see the finished product and I'm also a little nervous to see how it turns out. My Caro Emerald tribute show is going from strength to strength with my 1st rehearsal with my 7 piece band next week." - Caitlen Bailey (Caro Emerald Tribute)

AND A BIG THANK YOU!

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came, saw, explored, traded, purchased, slurped tea, munched cakes, and enjoyed the fair last weekend in the Town Hall Colchester. 

Over 1000 customers came through the door, and we are thrilled to announce that over £2000 has been raised for St Helena Hospice from the event, with their stall and the portion of door monies and charity raffle all combined! This is utterly fantastic! 

We also raised an additional £150+ for Movember UK- though donations online and through the MO KING contest on the fay of the fair. We had some brilliant entries-here's our MO KING winner Ben Locker who win himself our coveted Secret Vintage MO KING T-shirt, for individually raising the most money for Movember UK.

We'd like to say a big thank you to Photo Booth Party Hire for helping us to raise the funds for Movember by admirably donating their profits from the day to the cause. Here's our MO KING runner up, our MO PRINCE, Chris! 

We'd also like to thank Clare's Vintage Tea Party for donating 10% of her profits to the hospice too.  We'd like to you with a few more pics of the inside of the fair- what a fantastic venue the Town Hall is!

Ciao for now! See you in the Spring at our next fair! Watch this space for more details!
