Chart-topping 80s sensations Black Lace will be filming the video for their soon-to-be-released re-issued single Do The Conga on Blackpool North Pier this Thursday morning. They are inviting members of the public to come along with some of their celebrity friends to be part of the fun music video and to help them in their quest to break the world record for the longest conga line!
Do The Conga is being re-released due to the success of the Trainline.com advertising campaign which features the boys from Black Lace singing the favourite party song with the slightly changed lyrics of Choo Choo Choo (Do The Conga).
Joey Blower of the North Pier’s Merrie England Bar said, “The boys have invited a lot of their showbiz friends to come and help them make the video, but they also want lots of Blackpool and the Fylde Coast residents to take part too. If you want to be involved, all you need to do is get yourself down to the North Pier for 10.30am this Thursday and you could be immortalised on video with the one and only Black Lace!”
Stars are lining up to do the conga all along the pier with Black Lace; cast members past and present from Coronation Street including Amanda Barrie (Alma Sedgewick) and Bruce Jones (Les Battersby); writer and actor Ryan Dior; comedian Billy Pearce; singing sensation Chico; comedy duo The Grumbleweeds; cast members from Emmerdale including Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle); comedian and actor Bobby Ball; and cast members from Shameless including Alice Barry; Stars In Their Eyes’ Jack Danson (Rod Stewart); and from television’s Benidorm, Crissy Rock. Phew – what a line-up!
Anyone wanting to be part of the video must be at Blackpool’s North Pier for 10.30am this Thursday!
