Launch Party Report

On Friday 29th May we had a launch party for “Willow Pattern Songs” at the Kings Head Theatre Pub in Islington.  Thanks to everyone who came along, and thanks to Proper Songs who organised the whole deal.

We ate homemade Chinese egg custard tarts (courtesy of Mei Yau) and even had a cake made in our honour (courtesy of an unnamed bakery):
