We were all treated royally by the management and staff.  The evening included:
• A Welcome drink
• Tour of recording and rehearsal studios
• Live recording of ABC members singing our own “Active Black Country Carol”. (Backing Music had already been recorded by Homity Pie)
• Hot-pot meal – Chicken Tikka Masala with Rice and Beef & Ale with Potatoes as the options.
• Sing-along/open-mic session hosted by Homity Pie, our local folk rock band.

The cost of the evening was £25 per head included a welcome drink, the hot-pot meal and all recording services. Neon Studios included a licensed cash bar, “Humbuckers” which was open during the meal and session.

Musicians among ABC members were encouraged to bring an instrument to make for a lively session later in the evening. To which Neil Ramone and Jonathan Lees took full advantage of, to rapturous applause by all.

Mike and Kate, Neon owners, hosted the ABC visit.
