Disco Shed at Bloomsbury Lanes

• 22nd Feb 2010

Disco Shed presents!: Shedonistic Games & Karaoke Night at Bloomsbury Lanes
on Friday 12th March 2010.

If you know the Disco Shed from the likes of the Big Chill, Latitude or Reading festivals, you’ll know that bootylicious party soundsystem beats go hand in hand with big-kid-turned-grown-up games and kitsch visual reminisce of when Lion-o meant more in life than vin-o.

Well strike me down and bowl me over! The Disco Shed is chuffed to announce its next appearance at central London’s home to fun, Bloomsbury Lanes, where with the aid of an actual shed, the Disco Shed will be recreating all that it has become famous for in its natural festival setting. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Bowling, karaoke, table football and the shed's collection of gnomes are laid on exclusively for disco shedonists. And in the name of shedonism – all you need to do is email your names to mail for free entry.

Shedlining, is Wailers and Specials crowd-teaser, Count Skylarkin’. The Count ain’t just some fly-by-night tour DJ though; he’s becoming a bit of a legend in his own right having played alongside the likes of Alton Ellis, Horace Andy, Max Romeo, the Skatalites and Prince Buster to name a few (and the luminary list does go on). The shed’s resident Arthur Fowler DJ BarryDark, our own Rockin' Robin, Miss Splinters, and Head of Shed Peepshow Paddy back-up the mash-ups to ensure that those bowling slippers Transform into dancing shoes.

…and speaking of Transformers, the Shed’s VJs will be projecting live visuals, while Bloomsbury Lane’s original ‘50s movie theatre will be abetting a stroll down memory lane, with screenings of your favourite cartoons and yoof shows of yore, with the likes of Skeletor, Burt off Trap Door, Dangermouse, Schnarf, Stop it and Tidyup, Pat Sharp’s hair do, Bouncer’s dream, and Zippy, George and Bungle bound to appear.
