Summer In The City

Hello Blog Readers,

Here’s a little round up on what I’ve been up to this summer!

Musical Bingo with Jess Indeedy has never been so popular, we’ve sold out most of our shows this year, we’ve done a bunch of festivals, and we’ve been putting on our addictive competition for private and company parties about once a week! We’ve got so many events coming up I won’t list them all here, but do check out our website for listings if you haven’t been yet. We’re doing lots of charity stuff too which keeps our feet on the ground!

Here’s a clip of DJ Helix’s set after we performed Musical Bingo at Latitude Festival two weeks ago (turn down your speakers if you’re a prude because he’s playing Azealea Banks’ rather smutty summer anthem ’212′):

The presenting side to my career has been keeping me busy, I’ve been asked to present a series of softball events for Bacardi and here’s a still from the first event:

As you probably already know, I regularly put on events for the fantastic Shoreditch House. I’m bringing my new but already famous Lunchtime Disco there on August 10th, and this Saturday (August 4th) I’m putting on an Alternative Sports Day for their members and Team GB. I will of course be delivering Musical Bingo in its highest form for this country’s greatest athletes, to teach them the true meaning of competition! ;)

I’ve been DJing a lot recently, and if you’ve come to Lunchtime Disco you’ve witnessed my current obsession with 80s soul and dance classics. I am so pleased to be DJing at Drink, Shop & Do‘s (the cafe/shop/club in Kings Cross) 2nd Birthday Party on the evening of August 4th. This is one of my favourite venues on the planet.

Today I’ve been asked to record radio idents for a certain famous DJ’s new radio show which is very exciting! And later I’ll be prize-buying for our upcoming Musical Bingo and Alternative Sports Day events coming up this week.

There you have it, a little snapshot of what’s going on in Indeedy world. What are you all up to?

Love Jess xx

Snowballs, Disco Balls, Ballrooms. Can you guess what the theme of this blog title is?

We are fresh back from New York City and our mini-tour, it was an amazing trip! Our events went so well, especially at the very lush Soho House New York which was incredible (with members hugging Helix for his DJ skills, no lie) and our gig in New Haven, Connecticut which was very raucous and very fun. Whilst we were there, we got caught in a freakishly early snowstorm that managed to grind the Tri-State area to a halt for three days. Of course, you all know that when life gives Jess & Helix snowstorms, we make a snowman!

Yes, that's me in something other than a minidress.

We will continue to bring our show to the States on a regular basis because they are totally loving us, and our next trip back is planned for February. We will also be bringing our addictive fun and games to a certain European city this winter… stay tuned for the announcement!

Meanwhile, for you Londoners, we have some exciting events planned for you this month! Below is a summary about our fun goings on in November, we do hope to see you with your bingo daubers, in a ballroom, or under a disco ball soon.

Don’t forget to read the bit about Christmas parties, we still have a couple of dates left in December if you’d like to plan your best company party ever!

ALSO be sure to read about our November competition: we are offering FREE PRIZES for fans that spread the good word about us. To enter, read the last bit of today’s blog entry.

Love,
Jess Indeedy xx


THE CONSTANTLY SOLD-OUT GIG

Our Thursday nights at Drink, Shop & Do are perpetually sold out, but if you speed-click your way to our web shop right now you might just get tickets to one of our December events. The next gig there on Thursday, November 17th is, er, sold out, but the tickets for the December & January dates can be bought here.
DSD is so gorgeous, and we love their amazing vintage decor and tasty menu – it’s possibly the coolest bar/cafe in London. For real.


BINGO IN A BALHAM BALLROOM

South Londoners, prepare to shake it. Our first foray at The Balham Bowls Club in October was simply legendary, and we can’t wait for the next one on Friday, November 18th. Their upstairs ballroom is beautiful, and how often do you get to play bingo in a ballroom these days? Get your tickets to ensure the best seats in the house here. 

NEW HOME IN OLD STREET

Because we are so popular with private events for companies in Shoreditch and the City, we thought we’d start a regular night based in Old Street so the large number of our fans based in that area could get their regular musical bingo fix! We didn’t have to look very far, the supercool City Arts & Music Project was the obvious choice, and we will be making our debut there on Wednesday, November 23rd! This place is always packed with fun-loving, music-appreciating people and we can’t wait to introduce them to our addictive live game show!
Work or live nearby? Grab your tickets here.


Ho, Ho, Holy Crap, It’s Almost Christmas!

If you haven’t already sorted out your company Christmas party, let me do it for you!
We love doing company parties because they’re the wildest! Maybe it’s down to the ever-flowing free booze. If you’d like to see your most uptight colleagues completely thawed out, email me for our shiny gorgeous private event info pack. We also offer a complete event planning service from menus to decorations to make your life easier, and we’ll let you take all the credit for planning the best party ever.

We’ve Arrived

Good day to you lovely bingo fans!


Autumn is by far my most favourite season of the year. Here we are at the end of September, and I am on top of the world. Not only because autumn brings me apple pies, chunky sweaters, changing leaves, Fashion Weeks, and crisp weather, but also because this particular autumn will be bringing me Musical Bingo with Jess Indeedy’s radio debut, more events at new and tried and true venues in London,  New York and New Haven, an appearance at a huge record label party at The Scala where I’ll have run of my own room, my first ever gig in South London, a land that has been courting me for years, and a sold out show at our North London home, Drink, Shop & Do. (Don’t worry, the chunky sweaters will be safely in my closet for these appearances, giving way for sequins and the like.)

Not to mention that I’m getting contacted daily to put on Musical Bingo at company Christmas parties, which I absolutely love doing. It’s only September and my holiday season is looking pretty busy already!

I’m going to list all these exciting happenings for ease of reading, feel free to click on their corresponding links to get involved:

4. The SOLD OUT gig on October 20th at Drink Shop & Do is, er, sold out, but we still have tickets available for the November & December dates which you can buyhere. DSD is amazing, and we love our crazy Thursdays here.

This event is just for members but if you are writing a piece on us or you are one of my BFFs email me at info@musical-bingo.com and I’ll add you to my teeny personal guest list.
