… at the capital’s new dressing up spectacle
*Fancy is the 1st Saturday of the month – April 3rd, May 1st, June 5th, July 3rd, August 7th*
Fancy plans on reinventing the easily attained escapism of fancy dress to an invigorated generation intent on shedding their existing lives and nine to fives, for a more exciting alter ego…just for the night!
“Let your fancies run riot” for the evening at this no-holds barred event, where everyone is invited to come as what they would really like to be, throwing caution to the wind and letting loose at the first ever Fancy party.
Staging an innovative production brought to you by the award winning Mix Maestro, Beat A Maxx, who shamelessly scythes through exhilarating visuals and dynamic audio to stage a display of inventive and kaleidoscopic DJ-ing prowess. Check out www.fancyclub.co.uk for a taste of things to come…
Starting the party off is Desdemona Does Pop’s Ruth & Ed playing an across the board mash up selection, hot from DDP’s Islington 02 parties, and watch out for their blog on www.ruthanded.com.

Mixing classic floorfillers with the top tunes that you didn’t know you knew, its pure pop heaven in an attitude-free zone. Ruth & Ed are also hosting Fancy’s Search For A Presenter on their LivingTV.co.uk blog and to enter please email “My fantasy Fancy dress outfit is……. ” to ruth_and_ed@hotmail.com
Winner announced on Monday **
Fancy conjures up a magical innocent world with a host of weird and wonderful costumes on display, and where you can also meet the stars of Fancy TV and get your chance to be cast in the next show. With no rules in the land of Fancy, come as whatever or whoever you want, and the winner of the most creative and imaginative outfit on the night will receive a cash prize of £250.
Fancy also welcome Silent Disco to the Balcony Room, where guests will be provided with headphones playing two different channels of music – you decide.As one of the most popular new trends rippling through UK nightlife, Silent Disco combines hi-end technology with the notion of old fashioned disco giving a unique musical sensory experience. Broadcasting two channels simultaneously, it gives each user the choice of either channel, perfect for ‘dance offs’ DJ competitions or the sheer novelty of watching half a room silently do the ‘YMCA’ whilst the other half goes mad to techno!
Fancy also launch their amazing Membership Scheme (to run for a whole year) where by signing up for a free Fancy club membership before the 1st event, you will receive entrance to the once a month FANCY event for £1.50 forever.

The Fancy spectacle bursts into full technicolour glory on Saturday March 6th at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, one of the capital’s most prestigious and timeless locations.
