James Purefoy, Jo Brand, Charles Dance, Clive Anderson and Nicholas
Owen. ActionAid UK 'Call My Wine Bluff' at the St Pancras Renaissance
Hotel. London, England - 17.11.11.
Clive Anderson, Jo Brand, Charles Dance, Nicholas Owen and James
Purefoy became the sharpest of wine buffs and wine bluffers last night
at ActionAid's celebrity fundraising event, Call My Wine Bluff - the
lively wine lover’s adaptation of the classic TV game show.
London’s
five star St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, played host to an exclusive
evening of wonderful wine, fabulous food and top-class celebrity
entertainment. The stories verged from hilarious to absolutely
unbelievable with many punters being completely fooled by tall tales.
An
Epiphone Casino Vintage Sunburst guitar, signed by Noel Gallagher, sold
for £9,500. Luxury holidays, celebrity wine tastings and many more
experiences were also up for grabs.
Plus £32,350 was pledged
towards building the third Millione school in Sierra Leone. This bespoke
ActionAid project aims to raise a million pounds and build 20 primary
schools for children – the project is the brainchild of Call My Wine
Bluff creator Jerry Lockspeiser.
In this high-spirited take on
the classic TV game-show, the four celebrity panellists, aimed to try
to dupe guests and each other into believing a fictional story behind
the wine being tasted.
Those who managed to snap up tickets to
ActionAid’s Call My Wine Bluff had the chance to taste six wines all
donated by exclusive wine merchant Laithwaites as well as enjoying a
sumptuous 3 course meal.
The quick photo call in the hotel’s
Hansom Hall provoked a certain frisson as the celebrities rubbed
shoulders with guests and a great time was had by all. A total of
£138,000 was raised in an unforgettable night of food, wine, and dupes,
all to ensure ActionAid can continue its work fighting poverty around
the world.
