Fri 5 Aug: LOVERBOY

We’re hunting for cause and effectaching through criss-crossed lines in soot intersecting a new commotion

slipped through vertigo chit chat! or another name for figure-8

we loomed there, found fragility in steps to count kept each other in line as the piper changed tune

veins pulled us together, kept us tightly woven screwed up like a narcissist might insist speculate as you may the origins of the word “slick”

Sat 18 Jun: "I Do" Disco - the summer of love(ly weddings)

#IDoDisco w/ DJs Maggie Macall + Havisham + Monikerfromfriends London’s best worst wedding disco returns to smash summer to pieces.

The bride is weeping over grass stains, the wasps are getting awfully near the cake, and the priest has been sunburnt to death. There’s only one thing left to do — WEDDING DISCO LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW.

Think beach balls and bunting, flip flops and fathers-in-law, swimming pools, solstices, supersoakers, and sex parties in the sun. The nights are getting shorter which means we have to disco harder.

Buck’s fizz on tap and bridezillas Laura-Ashleyed to the nines — enough to make you want to get married/never get married.

It’s more fun in a white dress, but we don't judge. Promise.

***£3 all night if you click 'going' (brides love social media). CLOSES MIDNIGHT FRIDAY 17 JUNE***

BOWIE ✌ QUEEN ✌ MADONNA ✌ WHITNEY ✌ CHER ✌ TURNER ✌ ENYA ✌ PRINCE ✌ THECURE ✌ THESMITHS ✌ DOLLY ✌ PATTI ✌ ARETHA ✌ CYNDI ✌ PETSHOPBOYZ ✌ MARIAH ✌ JEM ✌ JLO ✌ DESTINYSCHILD ✌ TLC ✌ KELIS ✌ AMERIE ✌ CIARA ✌ MISSY ✌ BEYONCE ✌ RIRI ✌ BRITNEY ✌ KANYE ✌ WILEY ✌ SKEPTA ✌ BIGGIE ✌ MCHAMMER ✌ SNOOP ✌ WUTANG ✌ OUTKAST ✌ JAYZ ✌ DRE ✌ SHAMIR ✌ BIEBER ✌ TAYLOR ✌ ETC ETC

£3 whenever if you come in an ACTUAL WEDDING DRESS. Otherwise... £3 before 11. £5 after that. And as always we'll give you your very own "ACTUAL" WEDDING RING either way.
