There’s nothing boring or rubbish about ice skating, is there? Well, that is unless you are a music fan. I mean, have you heard some of the music they pump out at these places? Whitney? Mariah? N-Dubz?! Painful.

But we share your pain here at Ministry of Sound, which is why we’ve teamed up with Somerset house to provide you with an evening of ice-based entertainment without a Schofield in sight! Ministry of Sound’s very own Saturday Sessions takes over Somerset House on Saturday 21st November for the first of their DJ Nights on ice!

The charity-based venue will play host to the Saturday Sessions residents, We’re Not Cool! and The Cosmonauts who will be spinning out house and disco to a rink full of ice skaters. For your information, this is what ice skating looks like...

Just in case you didn’t notice, don’t live in the UK or have been living under a rock, this country is currently in the grips of a strange phenomenon known as ‘Jedmania’.

Irish twins John & Edward Grimes have been wowing the X-Factor judges and people up and down the country with some pretty spectacular renditions of classic hits such as ‘Rock DJ’ and ‘Ghostbusters’, which we’ve included below for your audio-visual delectation below.

It seems, that, despite of (or because of) their total lack of singing talent, the nation has taken them to their hearts, including our very own Ministry of Sound NYE headliner Calvin Harris, who managed to breach security and run on stage wearing, of all things, a Pineapple on his head.Check this out!

According to The Sun, ‘The hitmaker, 25, bounded on unchallenged during John and Edward's spectacular rendition of Queen's Under Pressure, holding the leaf-laden fruit to mimic the twin singers' famous quiffs. He slapped his bum and tried to join in their performance before he was escorted off by security guards. ‘

While X-Factor bosses were not impressed with the Scottish stars performance, we here at Ministry of Sound would like to congratulate Calvin on all of his fruit-based (and music-based) endeavours, and we’re sure that he’s got something slightly bigger and better than a fruit cocktail planned for NYE at the o2 Arena.

Tickets to Ministry of Sound NYE are available to buy now.

And you thought the fun stopped when Ministry of Sound NYE kicked out? Well think again.
If you fancy carrying on the party into the next day, or you’re having a quiet one and fancy venturing out for the first Friday night of the year, we’ve put together the mother of all line ups for you!

New Year’s Day brings electronic music pioneer Sasha to the club! Notorious for his deep and infectious beats, he’s going to get 2010 started with a dose of nocturnal house music. Joining him, The Cosmonauts go disco, with their futuristic beats taking control of the box.

In the bar section, we’ve got a triple whammy of Global Underground goodness, with the Nu Breed taking over! Sultan, Jim Rivers and Anil Chawla tearing up the bar with their deep, tribal and techy sounds.

This is going to be a roadblock event, so make sure you get your tickets now!
