The event was warmed up with a great soul set from @carldavis. Colin Hazelden (@impact_tarmac) introduced the event and got the sale of raffle tickets off to a flying start.

Everyone loved the acoustic set from Neon Sky. We then joined into the Second Life set from The Drome.

During the night everyone was posting to Twitter with the hashtag #nottstwestival.

The raffle seemed doomed from the point when we ran out of raffle tickets and had to handcraft some emergency tickets. The same winners tickets kept being drawn from the champagne bucket and dropped back in again until a new winner was found. Winners were eventually found for all the great prizes.

• Eden Hall Spa voucher won by Michael Collins.
  
• 2 pairs of tickets for Just The Tonic comedy club (@justthetonic) won by Neon Sky and @RachyRach01
• Meal for two at Yo! Sushi (@yosushinotts) won by Muse bar staff member Robyn Green.
• Tour of the BBC won by Julia DarkRage
• Notts County FC tickets won by George Thomas
• Signed Little Britain DVD won by Matthew McVeagh

Ed Audiophile and Curious George then took us through to the end of the night with some classic tunes.

We raised a grand total of £310 for The National Autistic Society - Nottingham. For more information on autism, follow @thinkdifferent.
