Tooting Tram & Social

Tooting Tram & Social; a diamond in the rough and a stumble across
The Correspondents.

TTS can be found nestled in between Bingo and an equally disheartening drinking venue in Tooting Broadway. With fairy lights, antique furniture, velvet sofas and reasonably priced drinks it attracts an eclectic cliental, all of which are there to have a good time and I've never left that place without learning new names and faces. Actors, musicians, local suits and students fill the old tram shed and if you time it right you can also catch a few bands... which is exactly what I did on Friday night when my love affair with The Correspondents was planted and since grown into a hot pink rose. Calling themselves a swing-hop duo DJ Mr Chuckles and MC Mr Bruce "collaborate to make Hip Hop for the 1930s, Big Band music for the 00s. Splicing swing samples with squelchy synths over dusty drum loops they’ve depicted a modern day journey into time of rogue’s, lust, affordable clowns and foot-tapping toe curling "get your brogues on" dance floor swing beat."
Check out their myspace page and you won't regret it, you certainly won't look back, not even a little peak...
So good I've done my neck and back in from throwing those shapes, sleeping hurts, eating is a challenge and I should've bought shares in Neurofen - no blame, no claim. I dote on them even more.
