Peaky Blinders night proves to be a hit at Walsall bar
Around 80 people had a "cracking good night" in Willenhall as they turned out to a bar in the area – by order of the Peaky Blinders.
Fans of the hit BBC show dressed up in their outfits for a special night out on Friday at Gilberts Bar, on Field Street.
The event was fronted by Jason Osbourne, from Wolverhampton, and Adam Boyden – both well known in Peaky Blinders' groups.
The pair have shot to popularity due to them being almost the spitting image of the actors from the show, now in its final season.
The night out saw singer Lisa Morrall perform alongside dancers Emma Bailey and Lauren Lamb from Code Red Entertainment.
Items were raffled off for Ukraine and around 80 attendees were fed a Black Country cuisine of faggots, grey peas and chips.
It was arranged after an event at Bilston Town Hall, set to be held on Saturday, was cancelled – to the dismay of fans of the show.
But the cancellation led to this special night out being planned to give people of Willenhall and surrounding areas a proper night out.
Harry Constable, who backed the event, said £100 was donated to the cause in Ukraine but added the night out caused him to make a loss.
But he remained upbeat at the fact people had a great night, adding: "I wanted to give the people of Willenhall a night out and everyone had a cracking night. I left at (midnight) but they were still partying. They had the dancing girls on and the singers and they absolutely loved it."
