We did a lot of asking you about what you wanted from Promo at the end of last year. You did a lot of telling us that you wanted another Skoolies night. We listened, we understood, we made it happen, we even arranged a special photoshoot featuring some of you guys, and we had a lot of fun with it, so here we go... Promo Skool Disco!
There are a dozen ways to wear a School Uniform, you can crack out the short pants and thick glasses, button right to the top and embrace your inner geek. You can hitch up your skirt, risk the wrath of the teachers with some heels and let your slutty side out. You can be all baseball caps, trainers and untucked shirts, and find yourself some lunch money to steal. Maybe thicken up the eyeliner and top off your outfit with your favourite band hoodie, show the world you're not willing to conform, or go the other way and make yourself practically perfect in every way, even bring an apple for the teacher.
It's your uniform, you wear it however you like.
School Treats for the night also include:
Reef at just £1 all night, because alcopops are kool.
3 Smirnoff Ice for a FIVER
Corkey's £1, VK £1.50, Double Smirnoff £1.75
or try a Bikeshed Pint Sized Cocktail for £2.75
FREE LOLLIPOPS FOR ALL
Upstairs DJ Fil will be hosting a SCHOOL OF ROCK as our brand new Sweet Indie Rock Disco gains pace for its fourth week.
Downstairs Gaz & Fran will be your supercool School Disco DJs all night long.
ALSO
This one has added Cheerleaders! Real genuine life sized uniformed cheerleaders that you can touch (but don't). They'll be performing a breath-taking display, created specially for Promo, as they warm up for their appearence at Nationals later this spring. (Check them out... Nationals!)
They'll also be around all night getting involved, and even running the tuck shop (Yes, there will be a tuck shop!)
It's gonna be awesome, tickets on sale now Source, Essentials, SU Reception and of course all your favourite Halls & Club Sellers.
Super smashin' great!

Where's Mavis? / 16.02.10 / Event Description
I have to be quick, I have a pie in the oven, which is a bit like being pregnant, but faster, more exciting, and you get to eat the results.
Tuesday is Pancake Day, the best Tuesday of the year (apart from the Tuesday before Halloween, obviously). A night dedicated to celebrating tasty treats made from leftovers, those wonderful munch-able floppy frisbees that go with everything from fish to bananas. Possibly mankind's greatest invention ever (apart from bingo, obviously) Pancake Day, now I think about it, is probably the whole reason Where's Mavis? is on a Tuesday, I really like food, it makes me want to party.
So here's what we got.
10pm-3am - as ever
£2 in all night - as ever
£1.50 only for loads of drinks, including Jagerbombs, all night, as ever.
Bottom Floor - METAL & CLASSIC ROCK
Middle Floor - ROCK, EMO, INDIE, ALT.DANC, HIP HOP (kind of), but of POP, you know the score by now.
Top Floor - PUNK, SKA AND SKA/PUNK - WOOOOOOO!!!
I'm excited, are you excited? It's exciting to be excited.
Pancakes.

Promo / Lock & Key / On The Day Reminder
I've got the key
You've got the lo-ock.
I've got the key
It's Promo daaay!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah A ha a ha
Being a 90s pop dance act was a piece of piss, you only needed one lyric and that didn't even have to make any sense. Admittedly Urban Cookie Collective were pushing their luck with this one.. "ah ah ah ah ah" indeed.
Irrelevant tosh!
This is what's relevant, right now.
It's a beautiful day and tonight will be a beautiful night at Valentines Lock & Key Promo!
You know the drill by now, it's Promo, and it's a big one, early bird tickets are all gone and the four pounders are being snapped up by eager beavers and badgers at a rate of knots. Every boy gets a key, every girl gets a lock, if you find a matching pair you win a prize, and maybe a new husband/wife, it's Valentines week, anything can happen, absolutely anything.
Gaz & Fran will be making your love grow in the big downstairs room with all the big party anthems and dancefloor joys.
Fil will be spreading your love like a fever at the Sweet Indie Rock Disco upstairs.
Corkys will be 60p all night!
Carlsberg, Strongbow, and Cherry & Apple VK are only £1! One gold coin. All night!
Or you can partner up and get a ‘Loved Up’ cocktail, which comes in two halves, for just £2.75.
Lovely eh?
Tickets still available for £4NUS£6public at Source, Essentials or from your roaming ticket dealers. Or of course you can pay on the door, wobbly moneybags.
See you in there, mine's a Tetleys.

P.S. Valentines, or Valentine's? Nobody knows.

Promo / Lock & Key / Event Description
- Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
- Erm, no, you can buy me a pint of cider though.
Valentines can be a pain if you let it, either an expensive world of pressure or a miserable reminder of lonesomeness. At Promo we're not into either of those things. We're into relaxing, and going out, and having a laugh, and maybe a bit of a snog if we fancy it. So we've done away with all the faff that surrounds this most marmite of red letter days and come up with our own tribute to the whole shebang.
It's the Valentines Lock & Key Party Promo!
A storming night last year and a great way to spice up a night out. Every girl gets a lock, every boy gets a key, and off you go. When you find the perfect fit and hear the satisfying click, you win a prize from us, and, well, who knows...
And the phallic fun and games isn't all there is on this night. Look at this list and just think about how much we clearly love you.
Corkys - SIXTY PEE!
Cherry & Apple VK, Strongbow, Carlsberg - ONE POUND
Double Smirnoff - £1.75
PLUS
Loved Up Cocktail - Served in His & Hers Glasses - £2.75 for the pair.
Gaz & Fran doing the best Dance, R&B, Pop, Chart, Anthems downstairs.
Fil giving you a sweet indie rock disco upstairs.
NOW OPEN 'TIL 3AM!
Way better than roses.
£2.50 early bird tickets on sale now from SU Reception, Source, Essentials and our Halls & Club Sellers. We expect these to vanish quickly this week so move swift.
The rest of the tickets are £4NUS, £5 Public (limited) and a little more on the door. Available from all the same places as the early birders.
See you on Thursday!!

Where's Mavis? / 02.02.10 / On The Day Reminder
It's about this time of the week that I start to wonder what it's all about. I've got out of bed twice, dragged my arse across town in the cold and rain, and been nice to countless people for no good reason. Nobody's given me a medal or a sack of cash, not a hug, not a kiss, not even a high five.
Frankly I just want to run away and join the circus, or I would if the circus wasn't rubbish these days. A circus without elephants? No point. If there isn't a perpetual threat that the clowns might get squashed in a whoopie cushion caused stampede then it's all just leotards and boredom.
Then I get home, cook my pie, and think about the night to come, it's Tuesday night and we're having a party, take that conventional society.
Last minute reminder then; costs almost nothing to get in, drinks are cheaper than a Deepdale fumble, and the music will be a bonanza of dance causing joy.
That music policy tonight again,
TOP: Rock n Roll
MIDDLE: Rock, Punk, Emo, Ska, Indie, Etc
BOTTOM: Metal, Classic Rock
No sign of Barrymore anywhere.
See you in a few hours, feel free to pop requests on our wall.
Your eyelids look nice today.

Where's Mavis? / 02.02.10 / Day Before Reminder
If you were a toaster you'd be perfectly happy just sat around in the kitchen all day waiting for someone to pop bread in you and give you a lovely warm feeling all about your innards.
Now that I think about it, it's possible I'm a toaster.
You're not though, definitely. You need more than a bread donation and a wall socket to keep you happy on a daily basis. You need to rock, and for that, we salute you.
I don't normally send messages on a Monday, but I was sat here waiting for my pasta to become 'al dente' and wondering if you had a good weekend and if you were feeling ok.
Did you have a good weekend and are you feeling ok?
I kinda wanted to remind you about tomorrow night at Method too, it's going to be fun you see, or at least I think it is, did you get the invite? I hope you got the invite, If you didn't I'm sorry, If my postman doesn't finish his rounds before Jeremy Kyle starts he tends to just eat what's left.
I'm about to overcook my pasta, and I can tell you need a pee, so I'll get to the point.
£2 in all night. (Free if you got to Quiz Akabusi first.)
10pm-3am
Loads of drinks, including Jagerbombs, £1.50 all night.
Bottom Floor - Metal & Classic Rock
Middle Floor - Rock, Indie, Punk, Ska, Emo, and other stuff you like.
Top Floor - 50s & 60s Rock n Roll - a jiving funtime at the hop for twisting and shouting and a wam bam balooma a wam bam bop.
You'll come then? Splendid.
See you Tuesday, thanks for listening to my waffle. I'm off to phone my mum now and ask if she called me Russell because I'm a toaster.
