Freshers' Week

So I see Calvin Harris is lined up to play, good catch there.

From the SU email:

Calvin Harris @ Your Clubhouse
Tuesday 20th September

Yes, you read correctly! Calvin Harris will be playing Your Clubhouse on Tuesday the 20th of September for Freshers’ Week 2011!

Calvin has had a crazy few years since debuting with the cheekily-titled album ‘I Created Disco’ back in 2007. Since then, he has had six Top 10 singles in the UK, including two #1 singles with ‘I’m Not Alone' and 'Dance Wiv Me’ (with Dizzee Rascal) and has sold over 1.5 million tracks and 500,000 albums.

Since his last album, 2009’s ‘Ready For The Weekend’, Calvin has retired his full-band performances in favour of focusing more on writing and mixing with a variety of different artists. This change has resulted in Calvin touring the world, DJ’ing everywhere from Las Vegas to Ibiza to Australia. He also recently supported Rihanna on tour in Australia and will be the main support for her huge 56 date UK and Europe tour starting in September, where he will perform 10 dates at London’s O2 Arena.

Tickets for the performance will be €15 and will be available from the Students’ Union main reception in the coming weeks. Make sure to keep checking the Maynooth Students’ Union Facebook page (Facebook.com/MaynoothSU) for more information as it becomes available.

There will of course be many more acts also performing in Your Clubhouse during Freshers' Week. Expect more information regarding the full line-up in the coming weeks!

Club Rules Apply. ROAR. Over 18s. ID Required.

Calvin is ok, would rather if it was Example.

Didn't see him at Oxegen but I'll go this time just for the craic.

I'd say that after getting to know the rest of the 1st years it will be some buzz.

Seren_ · 11-08-2011 12:14PM

Example played at The Gathering in April, so it wouldn't really have made sense to have him here again.

I'd say it will be a good night anyway; freshers' week invariably is.

Jimmy Iovine · 11-08-2011 01:51PM

Eg. and Calvin Harris both in Maynooth a few months apart. That's great going for the SU. They've set a big standard that they'll have to match throughout the year now. I may pay a visit back to see him so long as I get a ticket for it. Should be a great night

irish_goat · 11-08-2011 02:14PM

Calvin Harris is a big name, that's pretty decent by anyone's standards. Well done SU.

Duddy · 11-08-2011 04:16PM

I only know of a few of his songs, but I might go just for the craic. Good haul though SU! Defo make a profit in Freshers Week too (if that was the aim)

Absolute Zero · 11-08-2011 06:24PM

Deadly good to see we have secured Calvin Harris. HOpefully he might just doa DJ set as opposed to his own own music like he did at oxegen.

CH makes me ashamed to have been born in the 80's

Say what you will, Norrdeth, but I can't wait to get a picture of me getting a hug off Calvin Harris. 1989!

I've never heard of Calvin Harris. Now I feel old.

BuroniKiisu · 18-08-2011 12:54AM

Very good documentary on Calvin Harris aired earlier this week on Channel 4:

Great coup for the college considering he is probably one of the biggest Djs in the world at the moment.

karaokeman · 21-08-2011 02:01PM

Hey,

Just wondering where is the Students Union office?

If I get my offer tomorrow I will definitely be heading up. I plan to buy a combo ticket.

Hi there karaokeman! The Students' Union office is at the top of the north campus, facing the Callan building. You can find it on this map:

Norrdeth · 21-08-2011 02:04PM

Have a look at the Campus Map
The SU is at location 31 and the offices are on the right as you walk in to the left of Chill.

karaokeman · 21-08-2011 02:12PM

Ok thanks, should be looking forward to it.

I really hope I can find time to concentrate on my study with all these events going on, but I suppose thats just college life:D

Grindylow · 21-08-2011 07:03PM

What's a combo ticket?

If I get in could I buy a ticket during the HEAR week?

karaokeman · 21-08-2011 07:27PM

Basically it gives you access to the Calvin Harris gig and Propaganda with a €2 discount on the price you would pay for two individual tickets.

Be at the SU office on wednesday to buy a ticket, thats what I was told here and on facebook.

I might see you at that week. Its the same for DARE students too I presume?

Ooh right, I'll get one of those if they're still available during the HEAR week! I'm from Waterford so I couldn't really just go up on Wednesday to get one! :P

Yup, they're the same week!

At least that's one other person going!haha

Will these tickets sell out quickly?

I reckon they will be gone by the Monday evening. First week back and the newbies coming in loaded with cash will snap them all up. It'd be different if he was on in November or December I think. Get down there fast and queue a bit before the opening time.

Duddy · 22-08-2011 08:01PM

The ladies will line up against yonder wall, the young men against thonder. When the music-apparatus starts to chime, a man may ask the hand of a young belle

Drink and dancing and lecherous postgrads.:p

There's incentive to make some new friends; keep talking to people until you find someone who lives on campus.
