At a recent gala fundraiser for the Make a Dream Foundation, Demo Realty Auctioneers, Andrew Close, Paul Johnston, James Allmann & Andy Richter were in fine voice plying their craft to the 500 strong crowd.

Much laughter was had by all as they went about extracting embarrassment from willing bidders in their quest to lighen their wallets for this good cause.

For the sake of the public, let’s just hope they continue their successful careers less their on stage antics.
