Prom night is your last chance to party with ALL your school mates. If you fancy booking something more inspiring than Dave’s Mobile Disco here’s some ideas.

Currently holding court at some of the hottest clubs and parties across the UK is DJ Grammafone. At 69 she’s a granny DJ phenomenon. Dressed in leathers and shades she can apparently rock a dubstep-heavy set as easily as a party soundtrack. By all accounts it’s not a gimmick, the lady has talent. Does she do proms? “Grammafone will play anywhere there’s people who want to hear her.” So that’s a yes then.

Fancy getting up on stage yourself? Not for the whole night obviously but just one song. Live Karaoke Bands, also known as Bandeoke or Rockaoke, are an extension of the ever popular Karaoke. The live band provide lyrics and a supportive welcome on stage for anyone who fancies singing along. Song sheets are distributed by the band on arrival and they help the singers to give a good performance. LMM supply Rockaoke bands and say they can accommodate most budgets. They can also provide X Factor and Pop Idol finalists as hosts for Rockaoke nights. Pupils, teachers, hmmm … could make for some very memorable moments.

The Beatles, Abba, Rockabilly, Glam Rock, you name it there’s a tribute band out there. So why not enliven your prom theme with a matching tribute band. The Bath Blues Brothers are a South West based tribute to the classic Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi film. They dress in Blues Brothers ‘uniform’ and say that people literally cannot keep still to floor fillers like ‘Everybody Needs Somebody’, ‘Jailhouse Rock’ and  ‘Johnny B. Goode’ (as played at prom by Michael J Fox in the movie Back to the Future). “We like a bit of audience participation too – ‘Minnie the Moocher’ is always a good time to take the mic around the room.”
