🪩ITS BACK 🪅

DIRTY LITTLE ANTHEMS!

Playing the songs that you’re too cool to play.

Every second Saturday of the month
@ The White Hart, Holborn, WC2B 5QD

We are winding down your car windows, we are connecting your phones to Alexa, we are raiding your old CD collection and we are putting on your first mixtape. We are shouldering your shame as we play all the songs that you’re too embarrassed to admit to loving.

So all you have to do is roll your eyes...and lose yourself to dance.

From Hanson to Rick Astley. From Britney to Lou Bega. From The Weather Girls to Chumbawamba. And from Tom Jones to Justin Bieber. We are going to leave no decade unturned as we dig for the gold beneath the pretense.

Get ready for the guilt free night of your life. Just remember to leave your shame at the door.
