Event information

Des Was a Bowie Fan returns to London Town on Friday August 2nd. Indiepop, new wave, post-punk, 60s Pop and Northern Soul dancing all night long upstairs at the Walthamstow Trades Hall.

The Shangri-Las to The Smiths, Brigitte Bardot to Belle and Sebastian, Roy Orbison to The Raincoats, Dusty Springfield to Depeche Mode, Jimmy Ruffin to David Bowie, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes to Hefner, Al Wilson to Aztec Camera, with a sweet underlay of 1950s, '60s and disco heartbreak. 8pm till 1am.

The upstairs is a cracking and cosy little room for a clubnight, with seating all around in the fashion of the social clubs. But please be aware that it is limited to 60 capacity. We'd recommend grabbing tickets early if you can.
