But firstly and really rather sadly, this is my last blog until the New Year! I know right, what are you amazing people going to do!! Where are you going to get your behind the scenes LNYDP gossip!?? Well fret not amazing LNYDP fanlets because (unless something goes terribly wrong - which it won't of course) I shall be here, all next year with the incredible Alfie!! In the meantime thank you all so much for reading, Alf and I love you all and wish you all a Super Happy and Merry Christmas and an amazing LNYDP Happy New Year!


Merry Christmas from the super handsome and talented LNYDP Mascot Alfie!






Merchandise ready! 

You will all be delighted to know that all LNYDP, Madrid and Rome Merchandise is now ready and available in stock. In fact, all orders have been fulfilled and are waiting for their proud new owners (especially the gorgeous Alfie Puppies) to collect them at their Hotels in London!! This year we have also decided to expand our Merchandise range and offer Rome and Madrid official Merchandise. The Merchandise is frankly awesome this year and I hope you guys love it as much as Alf and I do! Suffice to say, yesterday a few LNYDP staff and our very own Leader and Hero Bob Bone, got rather into the festive spirit in the LNYDP warehouse yesterday lol!! Pics below!!

Old  Merchandise Stock


I just wanted to give you amazing LNYDP fanlets an update on what happens to our old Merchandise stock. Whilst we never have a great amount of left over stock, we are keen to make sure that we support a number of charities and this year, we have donated our remaining stock to btr-ltd, a charitable company based in Bristol (UK), who distribute the clothing to those who need it most, in Europe, Western Africa and Pakistan. Alfie and I are both really proud of the fact that our old stock is not simply recycled for its cotton etc, but put to good use and given to people who really need clothing. Hopefully we can inspire more people to do the same! 




Song Of The Week


This is mine and Alfie's favourite Christmas song!! Truly timeless classic! Enjoy amazing LNYDP people!! xxx


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Joe and Alfie xxx

Good Morning, Good afternoon and Good evening LNYDP Fanlets and starlets! What a crazy but brilliant week it has been for Alfie, myself and of course the awesome LNYDP! However, let me firstly apologise to all you magnificent people for my absence last week. I am afraid there is no excuse other than tardiness! It was my birthday and basically I decided to have a long weekend and take Friday off! It was amazing, not going to lie lol!!

In fact I had a birthday party at a magnificent venue in Kensington where you play Golf indoors, whilst being served cocktails and sliders! Pretty sweet hey! Your all invited next year FYI! Game onnnnn!!! This was followed by a magnificent meal on Saturday night, with my favourite pudding 'In the worlddd' being served....Glorious squidgy and delicious Beignets, cooked to blissful perfection! mmmmh little bites of joyfulness!



Beignets...just wow!!  Little bites of happiness x


Deep in concentration!!! lol!!  What technique though haha!! 


LNYDP Launch

I am sure you have all seen the official pictures but below are a few cheeky snaps of the lovely ladies behind the scenes who dressed the room and made it all happen!!

Ok, so Alfie finally met all his little brothers this week and he absolutely loves them!! The Full Stock of LNYDP Alfie Bears has arrived and are currently waiting to be given to beautiful and loving homes! Anyway, I decided to bring an Alfie Puppy to the LNYDP Mews headquarters and Alfie went crazy for him! He has not stopped hugging him since! It is beyond cute!! Safe to say that the Alfie puppy very much has the stamp of approval from the official Alfie mascot! Below is frankly the cutest picture ever! Look at Alfie's paw actually hugging the Alfie puppy!! Wayyy to cute people!!

Big Bertha has arrived!!


I am delighted to announce that Big Bertha has officially arrived and is waiting its first drum beat! It is truly magnificent and frankly awe inspiring! Big Bertha alone is reason to come and watch the incredible LNYDP on January 1st. Both Alfie and I were amazed by its size and scale and frankly, can not wait to see it being pulled along the LNYDP Parade route! Amazing!!

Friday 14 November 2014

Wasssuuupppp!!! Morning Morning LNYDP magnificent fanlets and awesome people! What a truly wet and cold morning it is here in London. Alf and I are not impressed. It is definitely a day to sit on the sofa (couch) and watch 'rom com' films with a tub of popcorn, sweet of course! But I once again digress!

So what a busy week it has been in LNYDP Mews headquarters. But then again it was rather hectic last week too, including last Saturday when we had the most successful Tour Assistant Training day to date. All thanks must go to the lovely and gorgeous Lizzie Bone who ran it expertly rather like a conductor of ceremonies conducting a magnificent ceremony! lol! !



The LNYDP Legend that is ...Mr Malcolm Chalk, addressing his adorning Tour Assistant fans on Saturday, in magnificent Malcolm style! 

The best show on Saturday! Lizzie and Dean O, led a fun and fact filled seminar for the new Tour Assistants!  The best double team in Britain! 


I can truly say, with hand on both mine and Alfie's heart, that all the amazingly talented Groups participating in this years LNYDP, are in for a real treat with the Tour Assistants Lizzie has lined up for them.


New Member of the LNYDP Team


I am delighted to announce that we have a new and brilliant member of our LNYDP team, Joe Coles. Joe, who firstly has a name of champions, has been a brilliant addition to the team at LNYDP Mews Headquarters and we are delighted that Joe will be with us until February 2015. Alfie too is a big fan of Joe, as Joe spoils Alfie with tummmy tickles lol! A massive LNYDP welcome Joe! 



The camera shy, but fantastic team member Joe Coles! 

The Concert Series Brochure has Arrived! LNYDP Brochure next


Big news, yesterday, Alfie and I took delivery of over 80 boxes of brochures, which means only one thing, The Concert Series brochures had arrived! This is big news for two reasons, 1) They look amazing and frankly the excitement that the Concerts are nearly upon us is too much to handle! 2) The LNYDP brochures follow on from the Concert Series brochures! #EXCITING!!! lol It really is nearly time people!!! Yaaaay!!! (Please excuse my worse than Amateur-ish photography below)!



The Back of the glorious Concert Series Brochure! 

The Front of the glorious Concert Series Brochure!

Alfie Time


Ok, so another great week for the World Famous and super handsome LNYDP Mascot Alfie! More Alfie Puppies sold via the online shop at LNYDP.com and more excitement for the real Alfie lol!!

This week Alfie managed to find rats underneath the decking of his Grandma's and Grandpa's house! It led to rather an eventful Monday afternoon and evening! When I say eventful, what I mean is a lot of barking and crazy running around! lol.... But well done LNYDP Mascot Alfie for finding the trail! The pest people came and sorted the rat problem, although poor Alf can not go into the garden for three weeks! We have since found out them rats are all thanks to Grandma's and Grandpa's next door neighbours, who have a chicken Pen,  in London lol!! Very strange I know!! 

Rats aside, Alfie has gone back to the fun everyday LNYDP Mews headquarters office life! Although as he is currently curled into a little ball, sleeping and letting out the occasional cute little snore, I feel, that Alfie feels, life could be a lot worse haha!! I do love the little guy, probably far too much!! haha



What a handsome puppy!! Take a bow Alfie lol x



Song Of The Week


Well this is a bit cheeky of me, as technically they were not in the Kitchen! However, I could not resist choosing this as song of the week! The magnificent UB40! Enjoy! x














Friday 7 November 2014

Good Morning all you magnificent LNYDP starlets and awesome folk! I am seriously chipper today! I think it is because I am looking forward to our Tour Assistant training day tomorrow. However, perhaps it is just because it's Friday and well lets be honest, Friday is by far the best day of the week! lol! Alfie is nodding in agreement by my side as he cuddles his LNYDP Alfie Puppy.

This week is set to be one seriously good blog, even if I do say so myself! Highlights including the one and only Alfie Puppy dressed up in his super cute Halloween costume! lol!! Similarly below is picture that frankly I had to share with you amazing fanlets! The magnificent Bone family, Geri, Bob and Lizzie Bone all looking rather, well scary during the Halloween festivities! This may well be my last blog after putting this picture up, so figured I might as well go out with a bang haha!! Enjoy lol!!


Halloween Bone style!! Mwahahahaha!!

First Alfie Puppy Sold!


Well without doubt, the biggest news of the week, the First Official Alfie Puppy was sold! Debbie Calhoun is the lucky lady and is now LNYDP Macot Alfie's favourite LNYDP fanlet! Since Debbie's Order, we have sold a further 25 Alfie puppies. The snowball effect lol!! Come on guys, get your Alfie Puppy!! Give the cute little guy a happy home!!

I am truly delighted to show you amazing fans, two brand new Merchandise Items for 2015. The LNYDP Cufflinks and the LNYDP Pins! They are amazing. I have been working closely with the incredible and super talented 'House Of Logos Ltd'  and they have created a truly magnificent and bespoke product for us here at LNYDP Mews headquarters. The feedback thus far has been immense and well, I would be honoured if you amazing fans would be so kind as to give us your expert feedback, via our Facebook page - @LNYDP. I am truly proud of the results and hope you guys love them as much as Alf and I do! Thank you Mark and House Of Logos Ltd!

Amazing Picture Of The Week! 


Frankly I saw this on facebook and well I had to share it with you guys! I have no idea if it was a prank, reality or just done out of desperation for a sandwich, but either way you have to see this to believe it!! Would this actually be possible to pull off! I don't think anyone has attempted this during LNYDP!? Have they?? lol!!


Just wow!! lol!! Must have been one tasty sandwich!





Alfie Update!


So, this week has been interesting and well rather crazy for the LNYDP Mascot Alfie. Alfie has been with his grandma and grandpa every night this week and well frankly, he absolutely loves it at grandma's and grandpa's! In fact his amazing grandma even cooked him his very own roast chicken without the skin! She doesn't even do that for me!! lol!! 
We have also found out that Alfie loves fireworks!! He is not at all scared of them, and loves to watch them!! Who knew!! On top of that, we have also found out that Alfie rather enjoys Halloween, although when he answered the door to some very scary trick or treaters, they all wanted to stroke him, despite him trying to be scary in his skeleton costume!  It was very cute and well really rather amusing! 
So overall, a pretty good and unusual week for the famous and handsome LNYDP Mascot Alf! I think he is pretty tired today and looking forward to a relaxing weekend haha!! 


Alfie looking super cute in his 'Glow in the dark' skeleton costume! Eating his 'Home made' roast chicken!! haha!! 



Song Of The Week


This guy just impresses me so much every time I listen to him! This is a truly beautiful song and Kte and I absolutely love it! Hope you guys do to! Perfect for a relaxing Friday night with your loved ones! x

Goood Morning all you ghostly and ghoulish wonderful LNYDP fans!! Happy Hallooooween!!! It is that amazing 'trick or treat' time of year again and all of us here, at LNYDP Spooky Mews headquarters are really getting into the Halloween spirit! Yes it is partly because Alfie and I are making everyone participate lol! But home-made (by Kate of course) Halloween cup cakes are always a good way to bribe people into getting into the Halloween spirit!! mmmmwahhhahahahahahaha, cue the evil Halloween / Dr Evil laughter!


Ooooh spooky!!! Happy Halloween from all at LNYDP!



Now, let me begin this ghoulish blog by apologising for Alf and I's absence last week! Frankly I have no excuse, nor does Alfie, other than I read somewhat slowly and was somewhat engulfed with work! This I appreciate is not a valid excuse, but hopefully it is a good enough reason for you kind folks to forgive my tardiness! What is it Kim Zolciak sang....Don't be tardy for the party?? Or in this case the LNYDP Blog lol!!

The LNYDP Halloween Pumpkin, carved by the wonderful Natalie, the LNYDP supreme master of all trades!  


The Mystery Of The Anonymous Flowers


This week the wonderful and ever youthful Theresa Davis received rather a fantastic surprise! The charming Tahir of 'Pot Pouri Flower Delivery' rang the front bell of LNYDP Mews headquarters and delivered a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for Theresa Davis! Inside was the anonymous but special note 'Thanking Theresa for all she does'!! Theresa wants to say a huge thank you to the anonymous sender! So do all of us at LNYDP! P.s. if anyone knows the anonymous sender, let us know on Facebook 'LNYDP' and you will receive a Free Alfie Puppy (toy)! The mystery of the anonymous flower sender remains!! lol x


Mystery Flower's! Alf and I loveee!!! 


LNYDP and Telenet Logistics


I am delighted to announce that LNYDP is now officially partnered with Telenet Logistics. I know this will really only be of interest to Groups participating in this years LNYDP. However we have a feeling that LNYDP will have a long and fruitful relationship with Telenet Logistics. Andy and Terry who are the men responsible for running Telenet Logistics are truly terrific chaps and Telenet Logistics provide a superb, user friendly, reliable and world beating service! I am truly over the London moon about partnering such a great Logistics company. In return, I know Telenet Logistics are very excited about transporting the Instruments and Equipment for this year's LNYDP. In fact the whole Telenet Logistics UK team will be watching the Parade live on the Streets of London this year, such is their excitement to be involved with LNYDP! A superb outcome for all! In many ways the equivalent of a Disney Film ending...happy lol! 


A magnificent Partnership!
A magnificent Partnership! 













Alfie Watch!!


Ok, Alfie is beyond excited for Halloween! Firstly, the handsome LNYDP Mascot Alf has a crazy sweet tooth and absolutely loves cake's, cup cakes especially! So today I bought a box of delicious Halloween cupcakes for me and Alf to share! Then we decided to get really into the spirit and dress up! The results were awesome!! See below!! haha!!


We terrified the LNYDP crew at the Mews headquarters!! lol

Definitely the Worlds smartest Pup haha! Obviously lol!! Anyway a massive thank you to all the incredible Band Directors and Group Leaders who have submitted their First Draft Manifests in on time!! All the Manifests were truly excellent, however.....there was one stand out First Draft Manifest which, If I am honest, blew me away for being so amazing! The best I have received or even seen in over 5 years of reading Manifests!  I have hidden the Group Name, but if you recognise this masterpiece, well done you....Gold star and LNYDP Stardom! 



The Golden Ticket Manifest lol!! You have to read it sideways as can't work out how to rotate the picture!


Big things in Rome and Frascati


The magnificent Lizzie from LNYDP Mews headquarters, ventured to Rome and Frascati at 4am yesterday morning to finalise arrangements for both the Rome Parade and the Frascati Street show and concerts. 
In Rome, the magnificent Lizzie teamed up with ever youthful Ella Gurmen to finalise the plans for the 1st January Parade which kicks off at 3pm! Lizzie and Ella met with the Rome Cultural and Events team who are soooo excited about the parade, that they have asked Lizzie and Ella if the World Famous Rome Police Band can participate. It is set to be a legend...wait for it....dary parade!!! lol!! I couldn't resist!


The Rome Parade!! Beautiful and magnificently magnificent!! 



However the excitement did not stop there...no no!! Lizzie and Ella then ventured to Frascati where they met with even more important people, including the Frascati Cultural department, the Frascati Shop Keepers, the Frascati Chief of Police and last but not least, the Frascati press Office! It really was an amazing trip and everyone in Frascati is super excited for the Street Show and Concerts. 


The Frascati Street Show! A truly unique European experience!! 


A massive well done to the gorgeous Lizzie and the magnificent Ella on a very successful trip! Below are a couple of snaps from last year to wet your appetite!!


Malcolm leaves LNYDP Headquarters!! (But don;t worry it's only for half term)!!


The awesome man that is LNYDP Legend Malcolm Chalk is leaving LNYDP Mews headquarters!! As of this afternoon the Legendary Malcolm Chalk will not be in the LNYDP Mews for a full week!! But don't worry, Malcolm will return triumphant and heroically after a short break away!! We are already counting the days!! We miss you Mal!!!


Malcolm working like a busy bee making honey before he has a week off!


The Alf and I!


It has been a fairly quiet week for Alf and I! The rain has been rather crazy and Alfie taking after his handsome father (Me) has rather taken against the rain....to the point that he refused to leave the office the other night when it was pouring down!! Truly one of the funniest things I have ever seen! That said I got some rather strange looks from honest passers by as I kept Alfie dry with an Umbrella, (The new amazing LNYDP Umbrella FYI) as I got completely soaked in my suit!! Yes I was actually wearing a suit lol!! Yes I was beyond soaked!! 
Other than that Alfie has been as good as gold! He has been snuggling up to his new best friend the LNYDP Alfie Bear which always makes me do a double take when a bit sleepy at night lol!! It's like there are suddenly two little Alfie's in our flat!! haha!!
Belwo are two contrasting LNYDP mascot Alfie snaps from this week! One is a rather wet and not entirely delighted Alfie the other a very happy dry Alfie sleeping on his dads bed and pillow!! naughty Alfie!!! 


A rather rain soaked Alfie!! He's not happy lol!!
Suddenly a much happier Alfie!! Dry and on his dads bed!! lol!

Ok, this is a dedication for the amazing LNYDP hero Theresa Davis. I must say, what a voice!! This young man has serious talent!
