CH103fm Big Gig
We had a fantastic time at the first ever Channel 103fm Big Gig in the Park. Performers included pop sensation Will Young, Queen of soul Beverly Knight and local girl band Honeybun (with our very own Zara Blake). The weather was glorious and the entertainment spot on! We were up boogieing and enjoying the great music all night long!
The big gig, supported by primary sponsors Airtel-Vodafone, brought not only fab entertainment for the whole family but valuable funds for local charity ‘Help a Jersey Child’. A great night which we are proud to have been able to support.
Ciara Ahern
Ciara was at the JVA Beach Volleyball tournament last week and we took the opportunity to have our backs and shoulders treated (hard core players that we are!). She was brilliant. Giving her time free at the event, we wanted to say thanks for the 'seeing to' and to promote her services on Orchid loves.
As massage therapist to the Jersey 1st Rugby Team she obviously knows her stuff, focusing on sports and remedial massage.
For those not in the know, remedial means: intended to correct a deficiency or fault; acting as remedy or solution to a problem and intended to improve health. Well we could all do with a bit of that!
Ciara is now running morning treatment sessions at both the Island Medical Centre and Cleveland Clinic and is offering 20% discount on all first consultation at both clinics in July. What would normally cost £40 for an hour will only be £32 for the same in-depth treatment. We would seriously recommend you take advantage of this offer - we're going to.

Kandid Prints
We think the lovely peeps at Kandid Prints deserve to be on Orchid loves this month. They are damned good at what they do and are super helpful too. They have just invested in lots of fantastic high tec equipment that downloads amazing pics at the touch of a button. You should consider them for any event or activity you are planning that deserves to be captured on film. To find out more visit their website www.kandidprints.com.
Spotify
The Spotify website says it far more clearly than we can - we are loving it so much we are likely to gush and not make much sense...
Any track you like, any time you like. Just search for it in Spotify, then play it. Any artist, any album, any genre - all available instantly. With Spotify, there are no limits to the amount of music you could listen to. Just help yourself to whatever you want, whenever you want it.
We're tucking in and creating playlists for our new office. Bit of Sade, Peter Gabriel, Morcheeba, Hotel Costes or Paul Weller anyone?
Suma's Big Breakfasts
It's just as well we have football and rugby training for our offspring on Saturday and Sunday mornings or we'd be camped out at Suma's in Gorey every weekend! The renowned Suma's Big Breakfast has now been extended to Sunday as well as Saturday mornings and really should be squeezed into your schedule.
Tuck into every type of breakfast you can think of - from the Suma's Mega Breakfast to the American, Eggs Benedict to Omellette. Every breakfast comes with lashings of fresh tea or cafetiere coffee, toast, croissant, homemade preserves and butter. And the eggs are free range too!
We strongly urge you to treat your tummy this weekend and book a table at Suma's. Give them a call on 853291 or visit their website www.sumasrestaurant.com for more info and full menus.

Gambling!
Huge thanks to the lovely Investec peeps for hosting a superb gambling night for their clients and associates. We are working closely with Investec in their capacity as headline sponsors for Le Tournoi. Sam is proud to be a founding Committee member and we are delighted to provide gratis PR and marketing support to the charity. On the night, Sam picked up a magnum of champagne for being the best loser. Yes, she grew her chips from £10 to £80 then lost the lot on the final spin of the dice! It was a great night and the team from Black Cat Fun Casino (www.blackcatfuncasino.com) were brilliant. We'll definitely consider them for client events next year. Cheers guys and Happy Christmas!
Pure Charity Coffee Shop
We've just discovered the Pure Charity coffee shop in the market. All profits go to charity (yes, ALL). This year, 80% goes to Jersey Hospice Care and the remaining 20% to Ecce Homo Trust which is a Romanian charity working with families, in children's homes, a social centre for homeless children and through a farm project.
They serve sandwiches, paninis, soups, jacket potatoes and fresh drinks. All made on site daily. On top of all that, we think they have arguably the best cupcakes on the island. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or a swift cuppa as you're passing through.
What we really love is that they genuinely care about their customers. Elderly regulars are asked to advise the team when they are going on holiday so if they aren't around, the staff don't worry. You don't experience that level of service and care very often so we wanted to share our find with you.
Creative Jersey Showcase Event
We're passionate about promoting the excellence of communications services available on the Island and are happy to support Creative Jersey's showcase event this Friday 10th July at The Royal Yacht from 3pm to 6pm. We'll be there and would love to buy you a drink to celebrate the arrival of summer! Click here for more.
