International Night 1997

Where will you be on the evening of Friday 28th February 97?

The acts are coming together, the comperes have been chosen, now get ready for International Night 97. It is THE event in the college calendar, an opportunity for everyone to come together in a celebration of cuisine, music, dance and culture.

The evening starts traditionally with the international food fair, where your taste buds can relish a rich blend of flavours from the four corners of the world whilst listening to live Jazz music from the IC Jazz Big Band.

The spectacular cultural show follows in the Great Hall, with a series of acts portraying culture from around the globe, along with a fashion show. Previous International nights have featured a traditional Malaysian lion dance, a mellow Qawali from the Pakistan society, a beautiful flamenco dance from the Spanish society, and some awesome Bhangra from the Sikh society (pictured). This year’s show will be bigger and better than ever, with more acts, a spectacular start, and an amazing finale.

The disco is going to be an event in itself with live acid jazz and funk music in the SCR, and DJ’s playing soul, swing and dance music in the JCR. Both the disco and the bands will be jamming throughout and after the show, until late into the night.

Tickets can be bought (if you’re quick) in the JCR at lunchtimes and in the union office throughout the day priced at just ten pounds. Tickets for just the food fair and disco are also available, priced at just six pounds.

Imperial is set to become a true global village.

So I ask you again, where will YOU be on the evening of Friday 28th February 97
