Rún/Steven Finn and support from Laura Victoria and You are Wolf. 7.45pm. £7. http://www.wegottickets.com/event/61682

 From an early age Steven Finn’s ears were filled with the music of Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Johnny Cash and old time country music. Aged 15 he began teaching himself the guitar, learning songs like Leadbelly’s ‘Bourgeois Blues’ and Charlie Daniels’ ‘The devil went down to Georgia’. 
On hearing Bob Dylan songs Finn started to write his own words and in doing so found a lifelong passion for Jazz and Folk Blues, a getaway car he could drive.

NEW YEAR'S EVE AT THE WILMINGTON ARMS

So we've discovered an ancient text from the 50s or something. Proper old. Anyway, its all about how way back then, some aliens landed and said that they were gonna come back as midnight strikes for January 1st 2010, heralding an enlightened age of love and human understanding. They also specified GMT and that it was gonna be at the Wilmington on Rosebery Avenue. Wicks.

As the only surviving people to hear of their message Charlie Partridge and The Rebel Bingo Girls are holding a SICK PARTY to prepare followers for their arrival. Luckily, that mostly involves silliness, getting smashed, watching great performers and dancing to amazing DJs.

From 8pm, we'll be welcoming followers with preparations including comedians, musicians, dancing and of course the SPACE OLYMPICS and counting down to the new age's dawning. Acts will include:

The Rebel Bingo Girls
Charlie Partridge and Robin Clyfan
DJ Ryan Orion
DJ Joey Bones
Rob Broderick AKA Abando'man

Music will be mostly Rock, Indie and screw-face Electro.

You should come dressed ready to welcome the alien-led new era. So like 50s, hippy or sci-fi or something. The aliens left a few sketches too, and they're also well fit, so bare that in mind!

PRICE: £20 on the door. £10 advance tickets available from wegottickets.com

See you on the 31st December 2009, shortly before the alien landing, TO PREPARE.

NYE - We are the CULT of 2010!!!
