From the "Paradise Island" of Sri Lanka - Del Amore gave the UK it's soft launch with the cream of international DJ's playing the best in all things House. A Del Amore night is very unique where they bring the theme of Sri Lanka into the glamorous nights around the world. The night fuses Asian traditional dancing, drumming, elaborate costumes and head-dresses, whilst projecting the "Paradise Island" onto the dancefloor, so people can get a taste of what the future holds within Sri Lanka.
