Mama’s Kitchen – Layla Rosa @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm

Mama’s Kitchen is a place for experimentation and curious concoctions, serving up a menu of pioneering performance.

The brainchild of Shunt artist Layla Rosa and curated especially for Postcards, expect circus artists, theatre makers, musicians, visual artists and a whole heap of other exciting performances that we’re not entirely sure about just yet.

But if previous outings at The Shunt Lounge are anything to go by, Mama’s Kitchen will be unexpected and hugely memorable.

Feb 11 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Make sure you keep the evening (from 7pm to 11pm)  of 11th February free in the your diaries for our amazing Barn Dance/Ceilidh hosted by the equally amazing Central London Outdoor Group – a not-for-profit group run for members by members – see our website:  Central London Outdoor Group.

A top live barn dance band (3 musician plus caller) band will be performing at this special event – The Wraggle Taggle Band. http://www.wraggletaggle.com/.

Never been to a barn dance before?  No problem – the caller will teach you everything you need to know.

The barn dance will be at a fab venue in Highgate with plenty of space for dancing, good acoustics and a separate lounge for when you want to sit out a dance but still watch the action.  We also get the use of a kitchen for food, drinks and snacks.   You can bring food and drink to share (like we do at picnics).

Ticket sales will be opening in January.  Tickets will be priced at the ridiculously low price of £13 per head (or £12 per head for members of the Central London Outdoor Group).

How to buy tickets?  See:  http://www.clog.org.uk/p/barn-dance.html

The total number of tickets will be capped at 70 to ensure there is plenty of space for dancing.
