The Royal British Legion Kyrenia Branch Annual Gala features the return of the charismati­c Sarah Jayne and Andy Crust husband-and-wife team with a new Night with the Stars of ’70s, ’80s and ’90s tributes and some special guests before a special Champagne and Supper prize draw.

Supper Club fans will be “Stayin’ Alive” to the Bee Gees beat of a popular UK trio of 20 years who won UK Best Tribute Act in 2013, 2016 and 2017.

The Civil Emergency Services Volunteers fundraiser is organised by Laurence Floyd, who promised “a big night of fun and dancing as reservatio­ns are coming in fast with 380 people already booked”.
