Cafe de Paris - MINT GROUP









An all-Star line up gathered at Cafe De Paris for the MINT Pre Christmas Quiz and After Show Party at The Cafe. The video based quiz ran from 6.00pm - 9.00pm we installed x7 40" Plasmas for the balcony viewing area and then x2 50" Plasmas for the dance floor area.

The quiz opened with the following animation.



A 10 round video quiz was painstakingly put together by Stuart "Cheeky" Cheek and his video side kick Malcolm. The finale to the quiz was a round sung by a 30-piece choir on the staircases of the Cafe. The round featured over x20 theme tunes of TV Themes from the 80's. The round ended up in a standing ovation by the 200 strong audience.

After the quiz, more guests arrived and the Live Acts played for an hour and a half with the resident band. Guests on the evening were.

The first BPM took place in 2007 and attracted over 2200 visitors for two days of equipment demonstrations, networking, seminars, workshops, live performances and DJ sets. A second event in 2008 firmly cemented BPM’s place in the industry calendar.

After two successful years at the Donington Park Exhibition Centre BPM moved to its current home, the internationally renowned National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. The NEC allows the event unlimited growth, while remaining in a central location based in the thriving city of Birmingham. The NEC also offers fantastic transport links by road, together with an on-site train station and airport, making BPM more accessible to visitors from across Europe and even farther afield.

How to choose a mobile Nightclub for your party

When it comes to hiring a mobile nightclub, you need to prepare a list of things you need to find out about the mobile nightclub company before you hire them. It is not advisable to just browse the internet and select one which appeals to you because there are many unprofessional mobile nightclub hires that will not give you good service for the amount you have to pay.



Here are a few tips you can use to select the mobile nightclub suitable for your event.

1) It is important to find out more about the mobile nightclub company other than what is written on their website as many times there is disparity in the quality of services actually provided.

2) You should go and see the mobile nightclub in action before you finalise them for your party. Check to see if they can provide their DJ for audition and also provide video footage of their previous programmes. This will help you to know the quality of music and the entertainment provided by the mobile nightclub.

3) Enquire and check if the mobile nightclub has professional grade equipment. Find out what equipment they will use for your type of event. Find out if they have backup equipment if there is a emergency so that you are not left stranded on the day of your event because of a technical mishap.

4) ask them if they would share their music bank with you. This will help you to find out the type of music they will play at your event. This will ensure that they do have music appropriate for your event so that you don’t get surprised by a song during your event.

5) When you visit the mobile night club to see them in action, check and see their rapport with the crowd. Check to see whether the DJ is able to find the pulse of the crowd. Is he able to understand and read what the crowd wants? Are they able to elevate the mood of the people on the dance floor and know when to change a song if it is bringing the mood down?

6) Do they have videos of all the hit singers which can be displayed through LED screens at the venue. This will help to entertain even further.

7) Are the DJ’s of the mobile nightclub polite and accept song requests from guests? This will help to ensure that the invited guests feel special when the DJ plays their requested song.

8) What other add-ons can the mobile nightclub provide to make your event a roaring success?




Asking all these questions in advance will make it easy for you to choose the right type of mobile nightclub for your event without making any compromises on the quality.
