Head honcho of Gondwana Records, trumpeter and band leader, Matthew Halsall, is also a well respected DJ with a residency at the legendary Spiritland in London as well as playing alongside his pal Mr Scruff at Band On The Wall in Manchester and hosting a regular show on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM. We are giving the whole night over to Matthew to take us on a journey through his influences. You can expect to hear jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, disco, reggae, afrobeat, latin, electronic and plenty of other things that don’t fit into any category. He will play the first couple of hours upstairs while you have some food and get settled in before moving down to the cellar for some dance floor heat!

Due to popular demand, for this event we are trying a new approach to our timings. Start early, finish early! However, for this to work, we really need people to commit to the party. Rather than coming down after the pub, why not see this as your whole night out. Please arrive before 9 if possible. We will provide everything you need - food for sale in the courtyard from 7.30 - 9, a well stocked bar upstairs, cocktails served downstairs from 9, carefully designed decor and visuals and of course the highest quality music served up on high-fidelity 4 way sound and piped through the whole venue so wherever you are you won't miss a beat!

P.s. We urge you to leave your phones at home or at least turn on silent and keep in your pockets so as to be more present in the dance.

P.p.s. Please respect each other's personal space and be responsible for your words and actions. Everyone has the right to party without prejudice, harassment or abuse. We will not tolerate any behaviour that impacts on other people's enjoyment of the night. In the wise words of our late friend Rich Pastrami 'No Mugs!'
