Mad Hatter's Tea Party


Bear with me on this one... it's all about hats, and taxidermy. Apparently. According to the Barbican in North London. If you fancy a night with a twist the well known theatre centre is hosting the Mad Hatter's Tea Party on Thursday 6th May from 6.30pm - 10pm. I'm not quite sure what's vintage about it but it seemed weird enough to get a mention, free and combining clubbing with canapes check out more at...

Volupte


Described as "The most decadent burlesque supper club in town" Volupte can be found in the hub-ub of the city gently nestled between Chancery Lane and St. Paul's. As soon as you walk through the door the world seems a tad more exciting and I wouldn't put it past you to look over the shoulder to see if you were followed. Each night provides a dark and indulgent performance whether it be burlesque, cabaret or jazz, Saturday afternoon also hosts Afternoon Tease (shouldn't cucumber sandwiches always be accompanied with nipple tassels?...) for an alternative weekend venture.

Some of you may have heard the rumors, they're definitely floating round London and sadly it is true... The Blitz Party is sold out. Drat. However, good news is hear people, attack those tickets for next months now! On the 5th June 2010 The Blitz Party will be rockin' at the Village Underground with 40s fashion, cocktails, swing and general war-time merriment. Check it out.

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.
