You Can Dance (For Inspiration)

Here’s some content from our latest newsletter! To sign up to receive our newsletter monthly, just click here.

Hello Friends and Fans,

We write to you with another action-packed instalment of our monthly newsletter. It’s exciting times here at Indeedy Towers, in January we broke a record by selling out three Musical Bingo gigs in the space of a week! We are so pleased that you all come out en force to our events, and we are really grateful for our die-hard fans who keep coming back. We have so much fun putting on these parties so it’s a dream, really. Jimmy Cliff was right.

In the last month our mailing list has doubled! So hello to all of our new readers, this newsletter will arrive in your inbox monthly and will contain news and information about our upcoming events, a little love letter from us, and some fun treats, photos, and invites to our more exclusive events. Welcome to the family!

We’ve got so many Musical Bingo gigs coming up, the world is about to get a lot happier and full of prizes. Our Thursday nights at Drink Shop & Do in Kings Cross are steadily fantastic and wild, and our Friday nights at Balham Bowls Club are packed to the rafters and end in a flailing dance party. Last month’s show at Shoreditch House was full of hot competition and luxurious prizes. In March we will be bringing our fun and games to two additional new venues, please read more about these wonderful new entries to our stable of fun in the listings section of this email.

My slightly obsessive list-making night, I Love Lists, has garnered so much buzz it’s unreal! Who knew that making lists in a social atmosphere would attract so much attention? In addition to appearing on BBC London 94.9, I made an appearance on BBC Radio Scotland a few weeks ago to talk about it. The night has been recommended by Time Out, and we’ve just had the mother of all amazing reviews in Arts News London, which you can read here. The next event is on March 8th if you’d like to make some lists with me.

NEW EVENT ALERT! NEW EVENT ALERT!

I’m launching a new event concept on March 30th for people who get a bit antsy on a Friday. For those who can’t wait for the weekend to start. For those who like to dance. I am pleased to introduce:

LUNCHTIME DISCO

Lunchtime Disco is London’s only daytime dance party! Taking place in the new nightclub below Drink Shop & Do, aptly named Drink Shop & Dance, a gorgeous haven of cocktails that features a large black disco ball, a DJ booth atop a piano, and vintage pinups seen through peepholes in the walls. We’ll be putting on Lunchtime Disco on the last Friday of every month (after payday, natch), so please join us for a cheeky drink and dance with your favourite colleagues and friends. With an eclectic and truly danceworthy music policy and guest DJs, the first edition will be on Friday, March 30th and you can get tickets in advance in our web shop.

Thanks for reading this month’s newsletter, and we hope to see you soon – whether it be competing for prizes, making lists, or dancing during lunchtime!

Love,

Jess Indeedy and Helix xxx

I LOVE LISTS: London’s First List-Making Night!
Thursday, February 16th at 8pm

Do you have a penchant for making lists? You’re not alone. Lists write the future and chronicle the past, and they provide order to the chaos in this world. But most of all, making lists is seriously fun!

Join presenter Jess Indeedy of Musical Bingo fame for London’s new list-making night at I Love Lists! You’ll define what you love, loathe, and you’ll learn interesting facts about yourself and your friends. The night concludes with an awards ceremony for your listing skills.

The February edition will feature What I Want To Achieve In 2012, My Favourite Vegetable Dishes, 10 Things I Love About London, Embarrassing Albums Of My Formative Years, plus many more!

It would almost be therapy if there weren’t cocktails involved.
Don’t forget to bring your favourite pen, list books will be provided.

January Joyfulness!

Hello Dear Readers,

It’s official, January is more than halfway over. Not that I mind January, it’s a month I associate with nice things like healthy soups, long winter walks, and for some reason the colour blue (as seen in our newest Musical Bingo poster):

December was an incredible month for me, here’s a list of why:

1. I put on London’s first obsessive list-making night, I Love Lists at The Baby Bathhouse and it was a total success!
2. We did lots of private corporate Musical Bingo Christmas events, I now know all the lyrics to every Christmas song imaginable!
3. I was a featured guest on Jo Good’s The Late Show on BBC London 94.9, talking about Musical Bingo and I Love Lists!
4. We’ve added loads of photos from our past events to our website, check it out - maybe you’re on there!

So looking ahead, I’ve got the following super-fun events planned for Londoners that I hope will brighten your month and get you thinking of blue as a colour again!

Love,
Jess Indeedy
