RAK1 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just listening to Annie Mac on R1, and one of her listeners who works for the Carphhone Warehouse was telling her about their Christmas(?) party last night at Alexandra Palace, and Mika was the headline act.

RAK1 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I thought it was very strange having a Christmas party in April, but Carphhone Warehouse are a huge business here, and Alexandra Palace it quite a sought after venue, so I think it was down to when they could get it, and Mika and the other acts availibility. The dance act The Cuban Brothers were playing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I can't get over the fact that some places have their Xmas party at the end of April:roftl::roftl: Mind you, if the party has Mika in it, I'd gladly wait till April or the summer, I don't really care if it IS Xmas or not:naughty: Why don't my company do the same?

I would have liked to go, even though I would have had to keep a low profile about going out yesterday:naughty:. I was meant to go to another party (which I didn't actually fancy going to, but was kind of an obligation)...but in the end I had such a ****ty week, that I didn't feel like doing anything at all yesterday, I was way too knackered:thumbdown:. It would have been really nice seeing you all again though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I wish Mika would play at gigs at warehouses in Canada It wasn't in a warehouse, that was the name of the Company, Carphone Warehouse, a big mobile phone company here. He played at Alexandra Palace in Wood Green, North London, or the Ally Pally as it's called locally. I think they did the first ever BBC TV broadcast from there, but I might be wrong. http://www.alexandrapalace.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I found something on this website about it:http://matandsamontour.blogspot.com/2008/04/spring-in-london.html Its a bit of a random blog and it says about "London in Spring" that one of the things you should do is: "Go to the Carphone Warehouse ball and watch Mika play" so it did happen...... I'd love to know how you get into a firms christmas party if you don't work for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We should organise a MFC military operation to find out... I suppose if we had know about it, then put on our party frocks we might have been able to gatecrash once people started coming outside to smoke. Those places aren't usually the kind of places that have to stamp your hand to make sure you belong in the party, are they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
