Bouncy castle, a comedian from The Panel . . . and Big Bruv’s Kate Lawler add up to a great Freshers’ Week

BIG Brother winner Kate Lawler will play a set at Envy nightclub tonight (Tuesday) as part of IT Sligo’s Freshers’Week line-up. She was the first female winner of Big Brother UK, after taking part in the third series of the show in 2002. Since leaving the house she has worked as a television presenter and personality, part-time glamour model and is now a well-regarded disc jockey. She played at the Planet Love festival at Fairyhouse Racecourse in County Meath earlier this month.

“We are delighted to have such a wide variety of activities from a bouncy castle to Kate Lawler to Colin Murphy, the comedian from The Panel,” said Students Union president Daniel McGarrigle.

“Hopefully it will be a great week and first years will be able to get into what Freshers’Week is about and get into the college spirit. It is a sign of things to come and we will have a similar lineup for Rag Week.”

Freshers’ week kicked off yesterday with comedy in the Aula Max.

Colin Murphy from The Panel on Network 2 appeared with support from Dundalk comedian Colum McDonnell. There was a Rio carnival party in Envy last night (Monday) with DJs, dancers, samba drummers and a fire eater.

Kate and cow at Freshers Week

FRESHERS’ week was the talk of the college last week with an action packed line-up of entertainment designed to gets students into the college spirit.

Big Brother winner Kate Lawler drew a huge crowd to hear her DJ set at Envy nightclub last Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Students’ Union said this was the highlight of the week.

The Sligo Weekender also joined in the fun on Tuesday when the paper took a stand on campus.

Sligo Weekender key-rings, tshirts and pens were given away. And our Social Diarist Kathleen Henry (also a barrister and a farmer) really got into the spirit of the week by milking an inflatable cow.

Freshers’ Week kicked-off on Monday, September 24 when well-known comedian Colin Murphy from The Panel on Network Two performed on campus. Later that night a samba party was held in Envy, with drummers, fire eaters and dancers.

Tuesday started off with Toons and Balloons in the canteen. Students (and Kathleen) milked the blow-up cow, took part in a demolition derby and got dizzy on a bouncy castle for free.

Last Wednesday afternoon world famous hypnotist Barry Sinclair performed his magic in the canteen and a school disco was held in Envy that night.

On Thursday there were party games in the canteen with lots of spot prizes and giveaways, and 2FM DJ Nikki Hayes brought the week to a close at Envy on Thursday night.
