UpTown brings a blend of high quality music for dancing to North London’s favourite juke box bar. With an eye to the dancefloor and an ear to some of the finest music produced over the last several decades, Djs Trailer Trish and Johnny Klash set the perfect tone for a Friday night out.
UpTown brings you back to when kids in the North of England spun the night away to the sounds of Detroit and Philly; when Motown ruled the charts; when rock and roll meant ‘rock and roll’; when the sounds of the American South met the big city clubs and everyone was ‘doin the popcorn’; when Studio 54 bumped to brave new beats; when Debbie Harry met Fab 5 Freddy; when UK indie ruled the world; and when pop music was good music
Highgate councillors hold a surgery at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, 11 South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings, and at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.
Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the members’ reading room of the HLSI, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.

The Highgate Fair in the Square is a highlight in the Highgate Summer calendar
when friends and neighbours come together in the Village for a fun day out and
welcome visitors from further afield. The Fair promotes local societies, charitable
causes and businesses, provides a stage for talented local groups, children’s
activities and an exciting selection of stalls.
This event is free and takes place thanks to a team of volunteers. Without their help
in setting up the Fair, stewarding and clearing up afterwards, the whole occasion
could not take place. Several long serving members of the organizing committee are
standing down this year so we really need new faces to make next year’s Fair on
Saturday 11 June 2016 a success.
If you would like to help and become part of this amazing team we would like to hear
from you. If you want to find out how you can help and what is entailed, the team
invites you to an open evening from 7.30pm on Tuesday 1 December at The
Woodman, 414 Archway Rd, N6 5UA. If you can’t make this or would like further
details, please email: thefairinthesquare@gmail.com.
