Wed 28 Aug - Geek Out! @ Proud, London w/ Allo Darlin' Live + Darren Hayman (ex-Hefner) DJ set
ALLO DARLIN' Live!
DARREN HAYMAN (HEFNER) DJ set!
A spec rock legend hits the decks this week as none other than DARREN "really? You want me to DJ at this? And I've tried so hard to shake off the geek tag..." HAYMAN from HEFNER/THE FRENCH/THE SECONDARY MODERN spins his favourite tunes, and brilliant new folk pop combo ALLO DARLIN play live - a must have for us since one of their songs already incorporates a chunk of 'El Scorcho'!
Entry: £3 (£2 if you're wearing glasses)
Proud Camden, South Gallery
7.30pm-1am
