All the best dressed big names will be there, Ted Baker, Asos, River Island, TopShop, Kurt Gieger and JN Productions….and It’s All Happening?
The original, and some say best, musical bingo, as seen at the National Theatre, Great Escape, Glastonbury, Isle Of Wight, Camden Crawl and countless other festivals, will be heading south to The Loft on Clapham High Street this Wednesday, before making its way to the uber-cool Concrete on Shoreditch High Street Thursday night.

If you don’t know what musical bingo is firstly, get an imagination, it’s not a difficult concept. DJs, in this case, Rapture and Jonny Unknown play the tunes and when you hear them you simply mark them off your bingo card to win some snazzy prizes. Rounds in store, hosted by compere  Eleanor Conway include, ‘Happy Halloween’, ‘Fash-Off’, ‘Horrific, ‘Body Parts’ and ‘Magic Happens’. And as well as the usual riotous fun, there are some halloween themed tricky treats being thrown in, with multi choice Mystery Boxes and the opportunity to gamble on the Killer Question.


Prizes will be on offer for the best dressed, so even if we suck at musical bingo, I’m pretty sure that by digging in the wardrobe we should have a good chance of winning an award for ‘ Most Innovative’, ‘Most Outrageous’ or ‘Most Horrific’ of outfits. If you fancy heading down (was there a possible joke in beheading down there?) email info@musicalbingo.com And make it quick.

Bingo! https://andsoshethinks.co.uk/music-bingo/ https://andsoshethinks.co.uk/music-bingo/#respond Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:33:01 +0000 http://itsallhappeningmusic.blog.com/?p=368 I don’t like numbers. I’m a words girl. And try as they might over the years, bingo callers have , managed to make the numbers that exciting. Legs eleven, two little birds, however you dress it up, digits are still digits. A bit of competition injects some pizzazz into proceedings, but I still find it difficult to let loose over a grid full of figures. Musical bingo on the other hand has long intrigued me. Guess the song, win some prizes, have a drink – genius.
August 25th saw me pop my bingo cherry, and I’m thrilled that it was at Musical Bingo with Jess Indeedy, at the acheingly cool Drink Shop Do in King’s Cross. The queen of musical bingo, American Jess has been bringing her show to both sides of the Atlantic, with residencies at Drink Shop Do, the National Theatre, Shoreditch House , The Hospital Club as well as Berry Park Brooklyn, Soho House in New York and the 606 Club. The format is the same as normal bingo – but with a far heftier dose of glamour and cool. The plan of action is as follows a)listen to DJ Helix spin the tunes. b) recognise them and c) mark them on your card d) on completion of a line or house wave arms in the air e) run up and win prizes, of the quirky and kitsch variety. Rounds cover everything from 90s to Motown, Musicals to Colours, Commercials to Love, providing plenty of opportunities for a singalong as well as furrowed brow of frustration as you realise you really should know the song.
Miss Jess Indeedy is a true hostess, and every quarter hosts a members only event at the lovely Shoreditch House. The setting is their gorgeous roof garden, the haunt of Madonna et al,  and prizes step up to the mark, Musical Bingo and Shoreditch House clubbing together to come up with luxury prizes, such as a bottle of champagne, free bowling and beer for 6 in their private lanes, or a round of our bespoke cocktails, the Musical Bingotini and the Jesspresso Martini. Of course, such a sumptuous setting is by invitation only, so if you fancy getting on the list, I suggest you start making friends at one of the upcoming events….

Thursday, September 8th at 8pm – The Baby Bathhouse, Stoke Newington, £5
Tuesday, September 13th 7:30 pm – Shoreditch House, London, Members Only
