HQ Nightclub

Silent Disco is a disco party without the traditional speaker system, instead relying on the use of wireless headphones and an FM transmitter to deliver the music to participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to no music. Silent Disco was born in the summer of 2002 when two friends organised a secret party on the campsite of the Dutch Theatre Festival Parade. Apart from the people that joined them, nobody knew, as the party people were all wearing wireless headphones.

Silent Disco soon became a hit in The Netherlands and Belgium, soon followed by France. But it didn’t stop there.
In 2005 Glastonbury Festival hosted the UK premiere of Silent Disco and very soon, valued patrons at HQ nightclub here in Thurles can experience at first hand for the first time, this unbelievable music sensation.

Silent Disco is the biggest and most unusual music sensation to hit any nightclub. Internationally, it has successfully managed  to electrify  music fans with  mixes of dance, hard house, punk, disco, salsa, early swing from the twenties, alternative, world, electro, hardstyle, gabber and  Dixieland.

Using catchy melodies & interesting arrangements from lead guitarist Tossy Maher accompanied by dark lyrics from front man Colin Demspey, Jester is described by Hotpress as “players of hard rock with confidence, style and a punky attitude who know how to take a song on the town & show it a good time”

Best then to practise your dance routines, sharpen those vocal chords, because we have a prize fund of €1,000 to be won, over the next five weeks for the best Karaoke performance over that five week period.

Remember first only 50 customers through the door will receive a complimentary pint of Coors Light to lubricate those vocal chords.

This event will be followed immediately by our usual popular 80’s Sunday Night Disco.

You never know who you will run into at HQ. We had a visit from Una Healy of the five piece girl pop band The Saturdays who dropped in a couple of weeks back. Last weekend it was TV3 News Anchor and Midday TV Hostess, the georgeous Colette Fitzpatrick,  who joined us to relax on a well deserved night off with a few friends.

Pictured above is the very lovely TV3 presenter Colette Fitzpatrick, with “The Prince of Darkness” Pat Hayes, John Quinn, & “The Flash” also known locally as Peter Donnelly, at last week’s fun filled Halloween Party at HQ nightclub, Thurles, Co.Tipperary.
