Leave the recession at the door and party!

With doom and gloom filling the headlines there is no better time than now for a night of escapism. Where can I find that you ask? School Disco of course! Now in its 10th year, the original School Disco continues to pump out classic hits of days gone by mixed with contemporary uplifting beats from it new home at the Palace Music Hall in Wandsworth; School Disco the perfect anecdote to lift spirits every Saturday night.

Cast aside your copy of the FT and dig out your school uniform because there is one guarantee that a night at School Disco can offer – you are going to have fun! Its time to say goodbye to the daily grind and start living for the weekend! The legendary cult classic club night appeals to everyone and with an impressive register of pupils in attendance from past to present, School Disco’s Headmaster Bobby Sanchez reminiscences about the time Mick Jagger popped in for a school dinner sized portion of nostalgic action saying; “It was a compliment to get a rock god like that coming along, he was dressed normally, but we made him wear a tie!” With a strict ‘uniform only’ door policy, it seems not even a Rolling Stone can escape the threat of detention for non-compliance…

School Disco starts its new term at a fresh venue, which has undergone a £2.5 million refurbishment – gone are the days of sticking to the carpets, the Palace Music Hall offers a brand spanking new dance floor worthy of cutting the most outrageous of shapes on to the soundtrack of the eighties, nineties and naughties!

The School Disco committee and board of Governors has spent the last few months crafting the curriculum for the coming months into 2009, and first on the timetable is a night of fun and frolics with XFM DJ and Channel 4 presenter Alex Zane taking to the decks on Saturday 15th November. Zane is the first in a long line of celebrity guests and DJs forming an orderly queue to appear at the now infamous club night.

When asked why School Disco is so successful, Bobby Sanchez’s response is as simple as the 2 x table; “It’s the music and the dressing up. Guys love to see women in school uniform, and girls like to see guys in tight shorts acting like kids. It’s successful because it is fun. We want to make people feel as though they are 15 again!”

Top marks to that!
