Miss Moneypenny's is a house music nightclub that was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1986.
The nights were originally associated with Chuff Chuff rave events, initially held as boat parties, with founding members Mick, Jim, and Dermot Ryan, and Lee Garrick taking turns to entertain the crowds as DJs. The first of these parties was held in the "Pride of the Midlands" steam ship on the River Severn, but the parties moved on to stately homes as their popularity grew. The reputation of these small, infrequent parties spread, and so Miss Moneypenny's was started in the summer of 1993 as a weekly Saturday-night in Bonds nights club in Birmingham and the Midlands with resident DJ's Russell Salsbury and Simon Owen.
Miss Moneypenny's, The Worlds Most Glamorous Clubbing Brand has been throwing parties and events throughout the world for over eighteen years.
It evolved as the weekly club event from the extravagant one off ‘Chuff Chuff’ parties, the longest running and most exclusive hedonistic house music event in the UK.

It has also spread it’s glamorous gospel further afield through a constant worldwide touring schedule taking in Dubai, China, Singapore, Kuala Lumpa, Australia, Hong Kong, Russia, Lebanon, United States of America, Brazil, Columbia, and South Africa. As well as regular events across the European countries of France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Romania, Luxembourg, Holland and Belgium.
In addition to its touring events Miss Moneypennys has successfully released a series of worldwide compilation albums on an annual basis, sixteen to date, as well as a consistent release schedule of commercial and underground dance tracks on their own in house music record label - Miss Moneypenny’s Music.
