Hong Kong Beat mobile disco iconic kids tram party

Summer’s arrived in Hong Kong and many families return to their home country for holidays, or relocate for good. This means farewell parties for friends, especially at the end of school.

Hong Kong Beat mobile disco recently played a very special summer birthday/farewell party for two pre-teen sisters; a very special party that they will never forget, a silent disco on an open-topped tram, trundling through Hong Kong’s busy streets. 30 girls dancing and singing along at the top of their voices, to music in their headphones, created quite an experience for them, and for the people in the streets and passing trams!

So here’s the soundtrack to that fun trip, and here’s to great memories of iconic parties!

To meet client and seasonal demands, Hong Kong Beat has introduced a number of packages suitable for festive parties around this time of year, such as Thanksgiving and Xmas lunches or dinners, Diwali parties, Hanukkah celebrations, Burns Supper ladies nights, Valentines dinners, as well as festive children’s parties, and especially for those functions where the full package of lights for dancing at a 5 or 6 hour night time party is not required.

  • As well as quality audio, the package also includes lighting and effects to meet the client’s needs.

I can also supply MC service for these packages, if required, at no extra cost.

I can also arrange other kinds of entertainment to go with any of the packages, and will fully coordinate with them on your behalf.

Hong Kong Beat mobile disco has updated its Disco Packages page

Hong Kong Beat has added some flexibility to the package and pricing structure, recognizing that some clients only want a music option for a few hours, and not the full big blowzy production of the full ‘standard package’ – which is now named the Party Package 🙂

Halloween with Hong Kong Beat mobile disco part III

Question: What do teenage monsters drink at Halloween parties?

Answer: Ghoul-aid…

Ok, so the parents are getting stuck into the Jagermeister and Monster energy drink depth charges in the ‘adults area’ but the kids at the party need entertaining too.

Sure, bobbing apples, best-costume competition, zombie chase, make-up and balloon artists (I know some great ones I can put you in touch with!) and other game ideas can keep the attention of the little ones for a while, but you will need to throw in some kids Halloween-themed music that the ones who are too-cool-for-school – you know, pre-teens 😉 – will like as well.

Part III from last year’s Halloween, 40 minute spooky music set with special effects to keep the kids happy while the parents get zombified…

Hong Kong Beat mobile disco theme night tunes to placate the Hungry Ghosts!

The Hungry Ghosts festival in China is when people try their very best to make sure the ghosts of their ancestors, and other residents of the Netherworld on the loose, are soon happy enough to return to their abode, and not hang around causing trouble for the living for the rest of the year, by offering them incense, ‘Hell money’, food, drink, and other material goods (including Hell-o Kitty I suppose…)

Just in case there are a few with the spirit of the boogie still around waiting for Halloween, Hong Kong Beat, makes this offering of spooky tunes to still their souls, or does it?  >:/

This is a short set from the start of a Hungry Ghost theme night.
