The (Christmas) Rock'n'Roll Manifesto - Saturday 8th December

Well we’ve had sex, we’ve done drugs, so all we’re left to do now is Rock’n’Roll! Having moved forward a week this month to Saturday 20th December, the 3rd Saturday of the month, we thought we had to inject some Christmas into the Rock’n’Roll proceedings, but as time has passed, you know what, the spirit of Christmas has consumed us and now the evening is going to be a truly Rock’n’Roll Christmas in every sense.

There’ll be Rock’n’Roll Christmas songs galore, some of which you’ll know, some of which we hope are new to you, plus some classics as you’ve never heard them before.

Instead of Wham there’ll be The White Stripes and The Wedding Present, instead of Shakey there’ll be the Smashing Pumpkins and Sufjan Stevens, instead of Mariah Carey there’ll be My Chemical Romance (covering Mariah Carey!), instead of Gary Glitter there’ll be … actually no, there’ll be Gary Glitter … come on, it is Christmas after all. Plus we’ll be playing some of our favourite songs of 2008 when we’re all Christmas’d out or just fancy a change.

As always, not only is entrance free, there’ll also be Christmas booze giveaways, plus after October’s Love Hearts and November’s Sherbet Dip-Dabs & Blue Smarties, expect some Christmas confectionary treats! The night kicks-off at 8pm and as it’s Christmas we’ll be carrying ‘til late (1-ish, maybe later)
