Showtime 7pm
A monthly showcase for new songwriters/bands: each act performs two of their own songs and one cover version by the featured artist of the month.
Now established as one of London’s premier music nights, “Under the Influence” at the Boogaloo has really taken off over the last two years, having been featured as pick of the week in the Guardian Guide and had write ups in Time Out, The Metro and others.
Since it began in June 2010 there have been nights dedicated to Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Lou Reed, Billy Bragg, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart, The Specials, Blondie, Jacques Brel, Ray Davies, Pixies, Belle & Sebastian, Kate Bush, The Clash, The Cure, Prince & more.
The night attracts huge crowds and an increasingly varied and exciting range of signed and unsigned acts; from the indie pop of Hatcham Social, the gritty rhythm & blues of The Joker & The Thief, right through to the whisky-stained croon of Tom Mckean & the Emperors and the quirky songs of Helen McCookerybook.
Their website is regularly updated with videos of some of the best performances, photos, reviews and more: http://undertheinfluencenight.com

Crap Film Club is a place to celebrate and commiserate with the movies that went straight to DVD. It’s where we accept poor scripts, poor acting and poor camera work, and provide a platform of non-judgement. In fact, the less critically acclaimed the film the better. Together we watch the ridiculous, we enjoy the non-believable and we congratulate the absurd.
This month’s film title to follow…

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 Debby Harry met Fab 5 Freddy; when UK indie ruled the world; and when pop music was good music.
