Posted August 21, 2013
£5 Entry
Saturday night’s party at The Waiting Room is a big bank holiday special. Come down for the finest 80s pop, disco and boogie!
Midnight A go-Go is a monthly club night celebrates one of the most culturally distinct and innovative musical eras in history. It pays homage to the decade that gave birth to MTV and saw subsequent rise of a pop culture that mixed Hip Hop with Pop. It was a time when music, fashion, movie stars and advertising collided to create a look and sound that lives on and is copied by new artists today.
It’s resident DJs – Matthew and Christine – play the finest 80s pop, classic hip hop and disco. The result is a hazy sunset filled journey that takes you from Chic to Simple Minds via Prince and Grandmaster Flash.

Barbarossa – Tuesday 6th August
Posted August 5, 2013
Advance Free Ticket Sold Out
What’s the point in life if you’re not prepared to roll the dice from time to time, to take a leap of faith? There were plenty of reasons for James Mathé, the unforgettable voice behind London’s Barbarossa, to keep the course after the release of his acclaimed debut album, Chemical Campfires in 2008 on Fence Records: a flourishing reputation as one of Britain’s most intrepid acoustic troubadours, a prominent spot in Johnny Flynn and Jose Gonzales’ backing bands, the roar of applause from the audience at a sold-out show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom still ringing in his ears. But Mathé had other ideas.
“I loved the acoustic scene, but knew it was not all I was about,” remembers Mathé, recently seen on tour with indie favourites Polica and Junip. “So I dug out all my old Casiotone keyboards, drum machines and analogue synths and just started writing.” The result is one of the most exciting reinventions of 2013, rewiring his sensitive, tender missives from young adulthood into big elegiac electro anthems, tinted with huge spectral gasps of reverb, slow jam drum samples and searing organ melodies. Call his new direction a gamble, call it what you want – critics are calling it “skewed but wonderful pop… inspiring” (The Line of Best Fit) and “the perfect soundtrack to gazing out of a rain-stained window wondering why she hasn’t called you back after you left three thousand voicemails” (Noisey).
