Mark Allen (Of legendary Return to the source parties in London) is hitting the Comfort 13. Great for all you trance heads out there. It’s going to be a full on retro set from the good old Goa days. Also, lots of local support. To get in, hit attending on the Facebook event page and send a message to one of the organisers with your full name and how many people will be coming with you. You’ll need to be over 24 (though they turn a blind eye to hot women, I gather) and bring ID.

Friday
The Albi Cafe is having a uniform party from 20:00 – 00:00, to “celebrate” the frequent visits of our uniformed friends (the cops) to the place, since its activist owners / patrons have started getting on their nerves. There will be music, film showings and lots of people in all kinds of uniforms. Do dress up in your favourite uniform, anything will do. Free.
***
Electric Dreams first birthday at Radio EPGB. All your favourite 80s tunes – new wave, pop, ska, trash, cheese. If you like the 80s, then get down there from 22:00. Free.

Saturday
I take no responsibility for this event, but it could be interesting. It’s the pole dance amateur / professional competition. Sublime (Salame 40) from 19:00 till 3:00. Loads of dancers, dance battles between pole dancing teachers and great prizes for the winners. Not sure how much it costs. The event page is here.
