A heartfelt goodbye and huge thank you to Miss Toni Anderson, who left us yesterday after working on and off with us for the past 6 years as part of our amazing front of house team.

Toni, you’ve been one of the very best – always welcoming, hardworking, and bringing such a lovely energy to the place. You’ll be hugely missed by all of us.

We’re so proud that you’re leaving to further your career with your band, House of Sax, and we know you’ll smash it.

The good news is this isn’t goodbye forever – Toni will be back doing what she does best, singing for us on NYE as always!

Thank you for everything, Toni. You’ve been a star, and I’ll miss you so much.

Love you ! Kerry ###
