Event organiser Jessica Farrugia said: "A BIG thank you to the bands, Johnny Doom and to all the fans who turned up to show their genuine support, as well as Billibee Creative for filming the night -DVDs are available to purchase from their website. We are happy to have created something that was so successful and are proud of all who helped us produce and promote Ballroom Blitz in its entirety. We hope that the money raised will help St Basils with their tremendous work within our city and wish them all the very best."
Co-Event Organiser Andrew Marsh said: “With five months in the planning, Ballroom Blitz completely exceeded my expectations. I was genuinely overwhelmed by the turnout on the night. The support of everyone involved helped ensure the event was a huge success and raised the amount of £2524.78 for St Basils. It was a fantastic night, spirits were high and memories were made. I look forward to working with St Basils again in the near future".
