Backchat donned his DJ last week for the Zurich Christmas party. The company had laid on a James Bond night complete with lookalikes for Oddjob, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby, John Cleese and Shirley Bassey and Backchat entered into the spirit of the evening.
Host for the evening was Zurich PR maestro Wendy May, Zurich's very own Pussy Galore (her words, not ours). She introduced the show by answering the question concerning the lack of beautiful Bond girls. “It's my party,” she said. “And I'm not having it full of tall, thin, good- looking women.”
And judging by the attention she got from the Pierce Brosnan lookalike, Douglas James, it was the right decision.
