Mr. McClelland and friends are back with another almost NYE party to spare you the trouble of actually going out on NYE!
It’s fair to say that New Year's Eve can be hard work. It's busy and expensive and it's difficult to get everyone to agree to do the same thing. So, we thought we'd make it much easier for you again by putting on a NYE party a few days early.
Join DJ Andrew McClelland and guests as they see out the last Saturday of the year with classic Mr. McClelland's Finishing School dance floor good times at The Brunswick Ballroom!
Come join the party before the party (before the party) and take the pressure off NYE.
It's a great chance to catch up with friends at a busy time of year, shake off Xmas stress and get a bit of a boogie in before NYE rolls around.
Somehow missed out on the party we’ve been having since 2008?
Well... Mr. McClelland's Finishing School is a celebrated night of dancing to pop music. And that means all kinds of pop music.
From The Smiths to The Supremes, from Weezer to Whitney Houston, from Belle & Sebastian to The Beatles, from Pulp to Prince, from James Brown to Joy Division, from Rage Against the Machine to Run DMC, from The Spice Girls to The Smashing Pumpkins... It's all for dancing.
Featuring music you really like and music you had forgotten you really like and music you will soon really like. Nobody can go from Chuck Berry to Chappel Roan like Finishing School can!
