Heads turned to look at Peter Owen who commanded the stage, along with the white grand piano which was currently adorned with an elaborate candelabra reminiscent of Liberace’s style. A deliberate affectation, Alex thought, as were the white tails Peter Owen wore. Still he was certainly a consummate showman, and much liked by the ladies.
• “Tonight we have a very special performance for the bride and groom...” He made an expansive gesture towards the bridal table where Tony, Alex’s youngest brother was also seated—best man to the groom, “...courtesy of our wonderful hostess, Isabella King.”
