New Year's Family Party with Annesley

Imagine spending the dawn of the New Year with your family, pampering yourself with luxury while listening to some of your favourite numbers on the backdrop.

The thought itself is a temptation that is hard to resist but Palm Beach hotel, Mt Lavinia, together with Annesley Malawana and the Super Chimes are all set to make your fantasy a reality as they have organised a thrilling New Year's Even Family Party which will begin on December 31 at 9 p.m. and go on through the night.

With a career spanning more than 40 years, Annesley had been one of the most sought after Sri Lankan musicians of the era. He started off his career with the then popular Moon Stones before joining the Super Golden Chimes.

Annesley will sing some well-loved numbers in both Sinhala and English to add to the nostalgia best suited for the time. He will be supported by band members Channa Athalagey on lead guitar, Gimantha Senevirathna on key board, Prassanna Fernando on base and Jagath Kulasinghe on drums.

The event is entirely family oriented. Kids will be able to snack at the special children's buffet, while spending time at the play area suited for under 14 year-olds. The first 50 ladies and the first 15 gents will be offered entrance gifts.

"We are expecting to draw a crowd of 400 as we have already had many bookings and inquiries. We also offer a special package for two which includes dinner dancing and breakfast for a special price. There is ample parking space and security. This is a new concept which we have launched to meet the needs of every member in a family," General Manager of Palm Beach Hotel, Ravi Gunawardane said.
