December. Raffle prizes were donated by: the Turkish Deli (handmade pure olive

The Christmas Party was styled as a cabaret event. Guests were treated to a 3-course dinner, live music, dance, comedy and festive treats. Organised by Prickly Pear and RPJ Events for T-VINE, the night’s entertainment kicked off with legendary drummer Tansay Omar and his new band Funkshy. Lead singer Deborah Lee’s powerful soulful vocals dazzled the audience, as the band performed tracks from their debut album Made in
Babutsa’s Soner Tϋrsoy got the dance floor packed with his
hour-long set of Turkish pop hits. Renowned Oriental dancer Melisa Yavaş put on
an exhilarating show, which included her sensation sword dance. Rounding off
the night was DJ Elliot Patterson who kept the guests dancing into the early
hours with his rocking Christmas party set. The night was hosted by T-VINE
columnists and issue 5 front cover stars Eray and Koray (pictured below).
