True – there was no cajoling DJ and it was only a residential living room, but once Amazon\u2019s Alexa was asked to ditch the seasonal songs and ramp up the 70\u2019s disco music, every single lady pilot at last night\u2019s TT Christmas social demonstrated that their skill set extended far beyond being the front rider on bicycles built for two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And why restrict the fun? Seeing our equally talented fairer sex stokers move to the music, thankfully under guidance, was the icing on last night\u2019s TT\u2019s social Christmas cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reputations will never be the same\u2026. (except for Judith\u2019s!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the night of new talent discovery didn\u2019t stop at the disco scene. Supplementing the traditional pilot vs stoker quiz (it was a tie), Ukulele singing (fronted by Sean, Martin and Jules) and solos from Steve D (the Queen\u2019s better half) came a poetry rendition from Hajra and a festive singalong led by Lou on her portable piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the award for cementing the evening\u2019s tremendous talent must go to Jules. Seated at Lou\u2019s piano, this blind lady was able to pick up the songs piping through the speakers and accompany them on a keyboard she couldn\u2019t see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that was a sight to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merry Christmas everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
