If you have been on social media recently you will have heard about Bingo Loco (spelled as Loco, not Logo!)
The word loco reminds us of the 1988 hit song Loco in Acapulco by Detroit band the Four Tops (for bonus points: the drummer was Phil Collins!)
Bingo Loco has taken Ireland by storm over the past few months. The event features a game of Bingo with great prizes ranging from cars to holidays.
There are dance-offs, conga lines, lip sync battles, confetti canons and DJ’s spinning tunes between rounds. Here in Cork, the current venue is the Rochestown Park Hotel, as the event outgrew the Woolshed Baa & Grill where it previously used to be held.
Organisers in the Dublin global HQ call it “The Bingo Rave” and events operate in Ireland, Canada, Australia, UAE, USA and the UK.
