During a night out In the summer of 2012, my brother and I realised that there was a HUGE gap in York for a Friday night student event. With only £1000 cash to our names we launched PHAT FRIDAYS in September 2012. We hoped for maybe 200-300 people each week, but little did we know that it was going to become York's Biggest and Longest running student event, with capacity crowds almost every week for over 7 years!
It's quite incredible to think that during those 7 years we've had over 130,000 admissions! From the glory days of the Duchess to the present days as Mansion, it's been a hell of a party and we THANK ALL OF YOU who have partied and made those amazing memories with us.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end and it's with a heavy heart that we've decided to call it a day. This has been a very tough decision, but with the difficulties within the current nightlife climate in York and the impending closure of Mansion nightclub we feel like now is the time for Phats to bow out gracefully. But remember, as one door closes, other doors open! We'll be back, in one form or another.
Please join us for THE FINAL PHATS, THIS FRIDAY AT MANSION. Help us celebrate nearly a decade of good times. From Duchess to Mansion, Domino's to Doughnuts, T-shirts to Vans, Hip Hop to R&B to Grime, we've all come a long way together! We hope you can join us one last time for the best soundtrack in town...
Again, we'd like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all who've partied with us, and also a BIG FU to the University of York Students' Union whom always refused to work with us and support our great event.
See you on Friday!!
Love Ollie & Ben, Phat lads
