On Wednesday 17th March I was delighted to be invited to photograph the first ever Rock Ball at the Hurlingham Club on the Banks of the River Thames in London. The Ball was the brainchild of Rock musician Rick Parfitt Jnr the son of legendary Rocker Rick Parfitt of Status Quo fame. Rick Jnr suffers from Chrons and has recently set up The RPJ Chrons Foundation for which this was the inaugural fund raising event.
The evening was hosted by Top Gear's Richard Hammond and featured performances from Damien Flood, Steve Furst as Lenny Beige, Jack McManus and a fashion show masterminded by top catwalk model Sophie Anderton. An auction conducted in his usual inimitable style by Jonny Gould raised a fantastic amount for the Charity. The evening was rounded off by a stunning performance by Rick and his RPJ Rock Band all the more remarkable given that Rick was recovering from a major operation only five weeks previously. Other well know guests included Brendan Cole from Strictly Come Dancing, former F1 boss turned TV pundit Eddie Jordan and former F1 ledgend Jody Scheckter.
The event run by Fireball Management was a huge success and looks set to become an annual event. A full gallery of images from the evening can be viewed at www.dhbeventphotography.co.uk
