Des Was a Bowie Fan at Walthamstow Trades Hall

Event information

Des Was a Bowie Fan returns to London Town and E17 on Saturday August 30th. Indiepop, new wave, post-punk, 60s Pop and Northern Soul dancing all night long in the upstairs loveshack at the Walthamstow Trades Hall.

The Shangri-Las to The Smiths, Brigitte Bardot to Blondie and Belle and Sebastian, Dusty Springfield to Depeche Mode, Roy Orbison to The Raincoats, The Velvet Underground to Veronica Falls, Tami Tyrell to The  Wolfhounds and Hefner, Al Wilson to Aztec Camera, Jimmy Ruffin to David Bowie, with a sweet underlay of 1950s and '60s heartbreak. 8pm till 1am.

We always have a great night upstairs here - it's cosy with plenty of room for a walk and a dance on the wild side, with a wooden dancefloor and plenty of 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.

All flaming limbs at the front line.
