Live music at Aso Rock Gardens

After taking photos and exercising (see last blog post) I got ready and headed to Aso Rock Garden’s – Williams’ Nigerian bar and restaurant. Last Wednesday we had a VSO dinner there which was a lot of fun, so this week we decided to repeat the experience but with live music and a whole load more people! We texted, called and emailed everyone we could think of and ended up with a fantastic group of VSOers and Nigerian regulars.

Getting the place ready

The day's special dish was very popular.

Quick glass of wine with Nicola before the guests arrive!

The entertainment

The music was great – provided by a group who play at Alliance Francaise – and the food was delicious. The new cook is fantastic and is keeping everyone happy and healthy with her wholesome freshly cooked Nigerian food.

Unfortunately I was busy taking to people and stopped taking photos before the place really filled up – so these pictures don’t really do the night justice, but they give a flavour. By about 10pm or maybe later every table was filled and people were dancing around the garden – it was a great night.

Not sure what John just said to Salome! 

Happy customers!

Frank and Ambrose, my compound brothers, came for the evening.
