SERITA - Our female belly dancer has been dancing at the Restaurant every
week since our opening party and is always accompanied by her lovely
husband, Brian. Her style has improved over the years to such a degree that
she easily compares, and would even beat, the best Turkish or Arabic dancers
on the circuit. She has been my most dedicated and loyal entertainer and
deserves to be top of my list. Her most distinguishable quality is her flashing
smile - which she shares with men and women alike. There are some
dancers, particularly in London, who perform almost to a pornographic level -
but not here! I am so proud of the fact that Serita dances with class and
elegance and is a joy for all to watch.
Serita has acquired a vast knowledge of different Middle Eastern dances, from
Lebanon to Egypt, Turkey and Kuwait. Each style is accompanied by its own
rhythms, instruments, costumes and movements. Each one interesting and
beautiful to watch. Serita is at her best when the Restaurant audience
participates in the fun. She will often have a few customers joining her -
dancing with sparkly belts or shiny scarves wrapped around their waists or on
their heads. It always results in lots of laughter and plenty of hand clapping.
A great night is always had by all whenever Serita is booked to entertain us!

KHALED - Khaled first started dancing for us around three years ago, upon a
good customer's recommendation and we haven't looked back! He is an
Egyptian belly dance teacher and runs a number of classes across West
Sussex. He is also known Internationally as a brilliant entertainer and is
regularly booked to perform all over the World. We are hugely lucky to have
him on our team.
Khaled is always keen to bring something different to his dance every time he
comes here. Sometimes he may dance with lit candles on his head - another
time he will dance on top of a drum or a table - another time he might bring
along a famous face to join in his performance. With Khaled we never know
what will happen!
Being a very rare male belly dancer has led me to promote him,
predominantly for 'Girlie Nights Out' at the Restaurant, always hugely
populated by members of his dance classes. Well behaved men, however, are
also welcome! He is technically superb, with a grin as wide as the Suez and a
personality to suit.
He is terrific fun, a lovable character and can create an atmosphere totally
unlike anything else you will ever experience.

SAMBOSSA - A six piece Brazilian Jazz band with singer & dancer that take
you straight to Rio! This is a Brighton based band of musicians, very well
known on the gig circuit. Their instruments include Bass, Drums, Keyboard,
Flute, Saxophone and guitars. Their full complement is actually 13 piece,
but we can only squeeze six of them in the Restaurant.
Their repertoire is very wide ranging and includes sambas and bossa novas
from Brazil through to Cuban Son, Brazilian Funk and New York Salsa -
Mambo No. 5 to The Girl from Ipanema! It suits every age group from the very
young to the very old. Monica is the lead singer and to say she has the voice
of a nightingale is no exaggeration. Everyone just has a great time!
Although the music is intoxicating and takes you on a complete mood
journey, Sambossa's 'icing on the cake' has to be Marta - A Brazilian dancer
of perfect exotic quality and mind-blowing energy. Her costumes will amaze
you and her dancing has to be seen to be believed. She spins, she twirls, she
rolls, she jumps, she slides, she shimmies, she wiggles and she rocks!!!
Join us for a Sambossa night and enjoy the best party ever, the Brazilian way!

THE COOKIE JONES TRIO - A fabulous band in the Silk Road family of
entertainers. These musicians have all played and worked with the World's best
(Blue Mink, Wham, Gloria Gaynor & Barbra Streisand, for starters). Their
instruments include trumpet, fugal horn, bongos, congas, drums, keyboard, bass
& lots of percussions. The atmosphere they manage to create is almost one of
a 'jamming' session - as if they are totally unaware that people are listening -
just a bunch of guys out to enjoy themselves! The only time they become
aware that they are playing to an audience is when the music stops and the
applause takes over!
Their style is largely Latin influenced and their set always includes numbers
that allow each player to shine in solo, so that you can really appreciate the
skills of each artiste. If you are a fan of Latin swing and really want to see
something unique for Littlehampton, then do not miss a visit when Cookie
Jones is around.

SMOKESTACK - This great band plays the best in blues and consists of
guitar, slide guitar, bass, harmonica and drums. Phil, the guitarist, is also a
terrific vocalist and can easily mix vocals, guitar and harmonica all at the
same time! They are very well established in West Sussex and make regular
appearances in a number of jazzy venues playing music that they have
composed themselves, together with some familiar favourites such as 'Who do
you love', 'Get on the right track baby' and 'Red Rooster'.
There have been a number of occasions when the Restaurant audience has
insisted on an encore before they go, so if you are a fan of the blues you must
make a point of coming to see Smokestack.

JOHN STAR, MAGICIAN - John is a great member to have in our portfolio
because his act is so different from anything else we have at the Restaurant.
He is not only a member of the Inner Circle, but Hollywood's Magic Castle as
well (America's highest accolade). He now lives in Hollywood where he
performs nightly but travels to the UK around 3-4 times a year and he visits the
Silk Road each time he is here. John has performed several times for us and I
have watched many of his favourite magic tricks a number of times. There are
only a couple that I have managed to suss - the vast majority are still a total
mystery! His repertoire includes an ever-changing selection of top quality
tricks, made famous by the great masters as well as newcomers to the business
- David Blane being a notable example.
John's style is to go from table to table, armed with his knowledge and his
black briefcase and, together with lots of jokes and banter and a great sense of
humour, he manages to create a complete evening's entertainment.
