What do you get when you cross a Robert Palmer music video with an18th century church and a neo-burlesque acrobat?

Shebang is a new and unique event management collaboration between three of London’s most exciting and bespoke event suppliers; Gekko Entertainments, Kai Catering, and Shaken or Stirred, which last night showcased its talent at the 21st birthday celebrations of ORMS Architects at LSO ST. Luke’s on Old Street, London.

The party had an 80’s theme to mark the company’s birth 21 years ago. 500 guests were greeted by Robert Palmer `Addicted To Love’ - esqe hostesses complete with slicked back hair and red lipstick. Pianist Peter Brown played classics from the decade of shoulder pads whilst dressed in a white tuxedo and Neo-Burlesque trapeze artist, Empress Stah, performing `the hoops’ in a skimpy diamond encrusted outfit. This was the first aerial work to ever take place in the venue.

Guests danced like robots and body-popped to an excellent DJ set from one of the UK's most in-demand record producers and Heaven 17 star, Martyn Ware, who has put his name to hits by Terence Trent D'Arby, Erasure, Marc Almond, Shabba Ranks and Alison Moyet.

Oliver Richards, Founder and Director of ORMS, said, “Thank you for a super evening and for all your hard work.” John McRae, Director of ORMS Architects, said; “Gekko were so energetic, enthusiastic and very professional. What a party - it certainly met our brief!”
