THE BLOG

Welcome back to the Snow Queen Blog 
this week it was finally time for an event that all of us at Snow Queen have been extremely excited about.
On Thursday 27th February Snow Queen sponsored the first ever Harrods Wine Vault event
 featuring up and coming performer Joel Baker and Singer Songriter Katie Melua  

 Whilst the Famous Harrods iluminations lit up the streets of london outside the Harrods wine vault inside had undergone a tranformation into a Snow Queen inspired Bar and stage ready to host an evening of great music food and cocktails

As people are enjoying their first cocktails courtesy of 3 of Britains top mixologists,  incredible canapes and sushi are served courtesy of the incredible Pan Chai and Mango Tree
with an amazing array of colours  flavours and textures the food looks just as wonderful as the accompanying SQ cocktails

As everyone enjoys the wonderful flavours its time to start the entertainment and amazingly talented up and coming artist Joel Baker takes to the stage, With a charm and stage pressence to rival any top performer Joel warmed the crows with not only his amzing songs and incredible singing voice but also his charming reparte with the audience ,

Now the crowd are suitably warmed up not only by the SQ cocktails but also by the great music and atmosphere our headline act Katie Melua takes to the Harrods wine vault stage , with a set consisting of classic Katie Mellua tracks and songs from her amazing brand new album KETEVAN, as you would expect from such an amazing talent each one of her performances was as beautiful as the last,

During this wonderful evening of food, drinks and entertainment Snow Queen Vodka was displayed around the room and looked right at home in the stunning Harrods Wine Vault and in the hands of guests and performers alike , and as the wonderful event comes to an end there is just enough time for us to enjoy one last cocktail before we close the doors on a great event which we hope will be the first of many more to come.
