Vic Lambrusco.


SP Haworth - his paean to Kent was absolutely fucking hilarious.




Richard Tyrone Jones.




The return of the incredible Barking Bateria.


















The fantastic Trans Siberian March band onstage. You don't get to hear many songs from the Ottoman Empire these days! :)
































Shazia Mirza busy offending everyone in the house. In a nice way.






The sensational Dr Joel. You really have to check out this guy. He's like an instant party!

NOTE THE EARLY START! We've got some many great acts to fit in that the first act will be on at 8.30. Shazia will be on around 8.45 with the bands starting at 9.15.

This is going to be a MASSIVE night of fun with over forty Samba drummers, the Trans Siberian March Band, the incredible Dr Joel with a full bill of cabaret and comedy including the outrageous Shazia Mirza, plus DJs, video, Craft Corner and more - and it's all for FREE!

BARKING BATERIA
Don't miss this one! An electrifying feast of dancefloor-delighting Brazilian samba, delivered in a unique Bhangra, Funk and Drum 'n' Bass style will turn the club into an instant Carnival. Expect up to 40 drummers and get ready to shake your booty harder than it's ever been shaken before - they tore the place apart when they played Offline back in June!

DR JOEL
Described as " Ivor Cutler of the subcontinent" Dr Joel combines South Indian Classical Vocal Percussion - a jaw-dropping display of impossibly fast verbal beat-boxing called Konnakol - with witty, obscure lyrics.
"This guy is absolutely brilliant! You have got to go to this!" Decode Magazine
"On a scale of one to ten ... eleven" The Daily, Bombay
"Dr Joel breaks nearly all of the established musical rules. But whatever he does it seems to work brilliantly. With killer songs" Larmer Tree Festival
"Enthralling, it's music that could easily inspire you to contort your body in a wild jig" BBC
"I've said it before and I'll say it again: Dr Joel is a living legend ...if you ever have the chance of going to see him live, do it. You'll regret it if you don't." Birmingham Mail

TRANS SIBERIAN MARCH BAND
A wonderfully chaotic and exhilaratingly brilliant 12 piece gypsy Balkan brass sensation packing a fiesta of tubas, trombones and clattering things, the Trans Siberian crew have been picking up rave reviews. Catch them before they head east to the Balkans over the summer!
"Balkan ska meets Ottoman battle punk in The Trans-Siberian's obscenely infectious brass blow-out"
"The Sex Pistols of Balkan Brass...Punk brass world beat oddities"
"Music of the people for the people by this Balkanic-Latino band who love to party" - TIME OUT

Plus: CABARET HOUR WITH VIC LAMBRUSCO
'Abrasive political comedy' - Time Out
Comic piquancy - Independent
With a full line up of comedians, wags, poets and wordsmiths, including:

SPECIAL COMEDY GUEST:
We're proud to bring you Columnist of the Year nominee and "the world's only female Muslim comic" - SHAZIA MIRZA
"Quite unique in modern comedy" The Guardian
"One of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy" Observer
"the Lenny Bruce of female stand-up" Metro
"Sparkling, sassy delivery" Independent
"Sticks the knife into political correctness with hilarious effect. A must see" Attitude Mag
"Great routines... breaking new ground" Mark Thomas, New Statesman
"One of the top new stand-up comics" The Sun
San Francisco Chronicle feature
New York Times feature

PLUS:

RICHARD TYRONE-JONES
Solo comedian, comic poet, raconteur and MC, Richard Tyrone Jones' material ranges from the downright daft, to the witheringly self-deprecating, always cut through by a strong vein of sardonic humour, bold leaps of the imagination, a strident voice and some really cheesy gags.
"God's gift to comedy...astonishingly assured and uncompromisingly intelligent…fantastic, in every sense of the word" The Observer

PLUS CRAFT CORNER!
Glitters, Sparkles and messy fun for all you big kids!

and A TON o'TOP DJS!
Including Editor, Sim Kard Suzi (Offline), Dansette45 (Modtown Rockers) and Bluestreak (Beyond Fathomability) playing floor-filling ska, punk, indie, big band, 50s classics and dance.

Doors open 8pm, Cabaret starts at 9pm, Bands onstage 10pm, DJs till 2am. FREE all night! Please get there early as it's going to be rammed!
