SMARTIE PARTIE...
SMARTIE PARTIE evolved from Trace's 'percussion residency' at Ministry of Sound & the Mudd Club
(Philip Salon's famous parties)... events where people really knew how to party!
In 1995 we (Claire & Trace) hosted a party on the Temple Pier Yacht. The pass-word to gain entry to this event was "smartie partie".
200 people turned up and we rocked that boat till the early hours! After the success of several other private parties, we quickly out-grew this smelly little boat and
moved SP to venues such as Bagleys/Cross/Emporium/Hanover Grand. We then took a 5 year residency at the Ministry of Sound, where our djs, dancers & percussion entertained The Ministry while it was in its prime.
During this time Trace travelled the world as the Ministry's resident percussionist & along the way set up SP tours in 15+ countries all over the world.
In clubs such as H90 Cologne (Germany), Marina Club (Bahrain), The Colleseum & Enigma (Abu Dhabi) & more. After the Ministry we had 3 fantastic years of parties at The Glasshouse,
londons only nightclub (at the time) to boast river views across the city, before taking on a monthly residency at the legendary 'Turnmills' which became our new home for the next 5yrs.
With the closure of Turnmills in March 2008, SP moved on to Scala in Kings Cross.
This vast 4 room venue was the perfect blank canvas for our team to get creative & bring something different to London's clubland.
One year on & after 12 amazing parties within this great space, SP have decided once again to hit the road and spread the SP love across the UK at venues such as
The Honey Club in Brighton, Pacha-London, The Den (formerly The End), Area-Vauxhall and more. Check out the event page for all up-coming UK events.
