Terrace of MLH on Fire
The Mount Lavinia Hotel Terrace will be on fire on Saturday, December 31 with Wildfire, performing to welcome the bicentennial year 2006. The hotel will be celebrating its bicentennial year in 2006 and the dawn of the New Year will be the beginning of the string of celebrations at the hotel during the year ahead.
Wildfire will set the fire to the Terrace with internationally acclaimed Ron and Helen Lucas.

Ron and Helen Lucas, no strangers to the music scene in Sri Lanka are back to perform at the Mount Lavinia Hotel during the festive season as a duo under the name of Smooth Velvet. Ron - vocalist and percussionist - an ardent jazz fan sings a wide repertoire of Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra's songs as well as songs by the time honoured greats like Elvis Presley and Nat King Cole.

Helen grew up in a musical household - daughter of the famous Papa Menezes whose name was synonymous with music in Sri Lanka. She was and still is deeply involved in teaching music and is a constant friend to other musicians - young and old - lending a helping hand with her musical knowledge.

Her artistry in any rhythm whether it be pop, latin or jazz carries a sophistication that is hard to beat. No wonder she was recognized as an excellent bandleader when she headlined her successful Helen Lucas Combo in Sri Lanka.

Ron and Helen now reside in Australia and very much involved in music, performing at some of the leading hotels in Sydney. Their music takes them overseas frequently performing in Germany, England, Malaysia, Goa and most recently a very successful tour of Los Angeles, Chicago and Vancouver.
Gala dinner buffet and traditional breakfast, a kottu feed in between, high flying prizes, surprises and a spectacular fire works display are some of the top attractions of the night.

Alcoholic beverages will be at the special discounted prices at the Terrace on New Year's Eve.
