That’s the pledge from VisitBlackpool, organisers of the ball, as tickets go on sale for the annual event which takes place on Valentine’s Day at the opulent Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
One of the highlights of the resort’s social calendar, the event is themed “Romantics” in a nod to the day of love and will be compered by one of London’s most loved and original hosts, Jonny Woo.
After making his name on the New York club and burlesque scene, Jonny Woo, has worked prolifically across London in The Soho Theatre, ICA and Bistrotheque, even creating events for The Royal Opera House, as well as MTV, Selfridges and many others.
Jonny is resident with Boom and Bang at The Hippodrome, London and has worked with them at The London Wonderground and Old Vic Tunnels.
Working extensively throughout Europe, he is currently touring his project Tranformer, based on the Lou Reed album of the same name, and found time to open his own venue in London called The Glory, opening in December.
