Hip Leicester bar Hotel Maiyango hosted a packed Out of
Africa-themed evening for networking group the LYP.
The event, which helped mark the 2010 World Cup, was kicked off
with an African cocktail - or Tusker - before participants got down
to some serious bongo drumming with special guest Lotus Exchange,
which provided the evening's entertainment.
Plenty of members tried to prove they were the rhythm kings, but
Olufemi Folorunso, of Mattioli Woods, clinched top spot after being
nominated best drummer of the night, while Ed Hamblin, of Cooper
Parry, won accolade as star and good spirit on the night. Both were
handed a bottle of fine Italian wine. Olufemi also scooped the
prize draw, winning a Cocktail Masterclass for two at Maiyango.
LYP president Kate Godber, a solicitor with Leicester law firm
Harvey Ingram, says: "There was a fantastic atmosphere on the night
and the noise inside the venue was incredible. We had a great
turnout with plenty of enthusiastic participants. It was a superb
evening and among the best events the LYP has organised."
The LYP is now coming up to its eighth year and membership is
continuing to grow. The group's next event is a summer breakfast at
the Boot Room, Millstone Lane, Leicester, on July 14. For more
