Continuing a London domination not seen since the Romans, Bloody Awful Poetry once again come sauntering into The Lock Tavern for another night of melodic meanderings, convivial merrymaking and upbeat, doo-wop, retro pop-rocking to add to the benefits of baths, straight roads, villas and drainage systems that you are already experiencing. Another night marvellous antics, disgraceful behaviour, repugnant poetry, and decadent drinking nonsense shall surely ensue.

SENSIBLE SUNDAYS


15:00-23:00
Free Entry

Bands TBA
Tom Frog dj
Danny Boy dj

It's always a long shot to bank on the Sensible Sundays boys having their listings in on time for a monthly flyer. Yet it's a sure as sh**, dead cert, safer that it'll be proper good indie shindig cometh the hour. We suspect their gravestones will come engraved with the letters T.B.A. but DJs Tom Frog and Danny Boy know how to blast a Sunday morning hangover into, well, Monday.

Tuesday 16th March
BEAR GAMI

20:00-00:00
Free Entry

An exhibition featuring original pieces from Kate Copeland, Jack Hudson, Joakim Ojanen, Anthony Zinonos and more names PLUS fresh, upcoming talent straight outta London's New Cross. All work has been executed in a perverse flip on the festive period - the contributors have illustrated their connotations of the word 'FEAR'.
Live music comes from Battles-esque Falmouth based band Tall Ships, Tangled Hair (ex-Colour front-mans new project) Jamie N Commons and live poetry readings from the CLINIC Collective. Visit

An exhibition and live music one rolled into one, from New Cross artists, auteurs and musicians Bear Gami. The Tubelord DJs select the soundtrack.

Free Entry

Televised Crimewave live
Chapter Sweetheart live
Dirty Omar dj

The self-appointed Mayor of Camden, Dirty Omar gets all the right bands drunk, and coerces them into performing on the hallowed Lock Tavern stage. If it wasn't for the efforts of our favourite local dissident, it could be argued that Camden's postcode would be a lowly NW2, NW3, or possibly even NW4. Tonight's scuzztastic headliners, Televised Crimewave, will be playing their first show of 2010!

Simian Mobile Disco DJ set
Braiden (Rinse FM)
Casper C
Skull Juice
NikNikNik

This one's hot off the press, so we'll have to keep the description brief. Fortunately, an act of the magnitude of techno-overlords Simain Mobile Disco require very little proof behind the pudding. You just KNOW that this will be a roadblock party, with the usual latest and greatest electronic music starting at a lunchtime snail's pace, and progressing into wild abandon come closing time. A special set from Rinse FM's Braiden makes this unmissable.

Bearhat live
Bonanza DJs
Emit Bloch & Friends live: showcasing his One Little Indian released 5 out of 5 star Uncut reviewed new album Dictaphones Vol 1It does what it says on the tin recorded on a recession busting budget and sounding all the better for it. Think Allan Lomax field recordings or Ralph Peer recordings of Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family + his OLI stablemates and Mighty Roars side project Bearhat live think Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons attempting an album of Carpenters cover versions or vice versa perhaps.

Friday 26th March

Free Entry

Gino Silano Dj

The Lock Tavern's very own iTunes curator will be playing a fusion of Space Disco, Disco Not Disco, Old Skool Disco, 80s Punk Funk and a few surprises. You might ask why we don't just leave the iTunes running, and save ourselves a return bus ticket and a couple of shandies in the process, but we think you'll agree the extra-sensory appeal of the great man's physical presence is something wonderful to behold.

Saturday 27th March

AITBF & Kill Em All resident Stopmakingme and fellow Pure Groove honcho Mr.Singleton, have been causing quite a storm upstairs in the Small Disco.

Crate digging without the crates.
