Clubbers of the Week: Daft Friday Edition
*insert Daft Friday pun here*
Alexandra BullardThe annual Daft Friday Ball, commonly referred to as D*** F*****, celebrated its 111th year this December and was a Dahl-ightful event for all (quite literally).
Inspired by the writings by Roald Dahl, the theme served Willy Wonka wonder with BFG magic to create a night of pure pleasure. Those lucky enough to buy a ticket gained access to an ABBA tribute band, a ceilidh, a headphone disco, a ball pit, karaoke and even the biggest act on campus: Becky Hill.
Those who didn't get tickets knew very little about the night, until now….

WTF's of the Night
I'm literally just as lost as you mate
Why walk when you can fall down the stairs?
Back yourself boys
Best of the Rest
Blood, sweat and tears going into this song
Waiting for the drop?
When the camera flash is too strong
Feels just like Glasto…
Here's to 2020 – and don't worry Daft Friday, you totally smashed 2019.
