On Saturday 5th September 2009 Crawley Happy Times had the privilege of attending Bar Med in the High Street Crawley to watch London Soul perform. And what a performance it was. Drawing in a huge crowd London Soul rocked the evening with some fantastic cover versions.

London Soul, a multi-award winning dynamic 12-piece soul, rock and pop band have played every major venue and have been established at the top of their trade for many years.

Comprising of a full brass section and female backing singers, London Soul play an excellent dancing repertoire guaranteed to keep you dancing all night. Featuring classic songs by The Commitments, Blues Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Ricky Martin and Robbie Williams to name a small few. The huge crowd attending Bar Med to watch London Soul perform thoroughly enjoyed the music, dancing the night away.

Most of the band are originally from Crawley.  Kimberley, vocalist told us it was great performing in Crawley as they can have their friends and family come down to watch them. Some of the band are from London.

Bar Med came alive with the sound London Soul. With stunning vocals and brass instruments combined, made a sound that is truly unique and extremely entertaining. Sam, Manager of Bar Med told us it was wonderful to have London Soul perform at the venue. Sam went on to tell us they are being proactive in drawing good talent to Bar Med in Crawley, for the entertainment of the community. For further performance details, please visit their website. Bar Med is a fantastic venue compromising of a dance floor, stage and two bars with friendly efficient staff. A great venue for any band to perform.

London Soul also performed during the day on the bandstand, in the town centre. Many shoppers stopped to listen and watch them in action. It’s great to see the bandstand being used on a weekly basis for the purpose of having such performances as London Soul. They were a great hit!

Enjoy a full range of food with Meals on Wheels

Enjoy a range of nutritional hot meals and desserts with the West Sussex Meals on Wheels service.

The service helps thousands of older or housebound people to remain independent in their own home.

West Sussex County Council provides Meals on Wheels with WRVS, one of the UK’s largest voluntary organisations.

The service is available all across West Sussex. Customers can choose from two main courses everyday and two desserts, with the meals delivered direct to their door.

A week’s worth of food can also be delivered frozen so the meals can be heated up and eaten as and when.

West Sussex County Council Catering Advisor Hilary Waitt said: “As well as providing hot and nutritional meals, the Meals on Wheels service also carries out a vital ‘safe and well’ check to make sure customers are okay.

“All volunteers are trained to spot problems and will pass any concerns to the local meals organiser or, if necessary, contact the emergency services.”

There are a number of reasons why someone might want to sign up to the Meals on Wheels Service. They may have just come out of hospital, might not always be able to get to the shops, or if they think it would be a good idea to have someone keep an eye out for them.

An assessment from a GP or hospital isn’t needed to apply for Meals on Wheels – people can contact the service direct.

For further information contact 01903 231341 or visit the County Council website at www.westsussex.gov.uk.
