Event Listings This Month

The band began in 1998 where most of the musicians in the band replied to an advert that Ben placed in Loot.
Band members vary in background and age, from students to taxi drivers, and 18 to ‘too-polite-to-ask’.

The band’s sound is based around classic big bands of Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson and Count Basie. The repertoire includes swing, latin, jazz rock and vocals typical of the Frank Sinatra era.

The band work regularly with vocalist Shane Hampsheir and have often played with him at the Bob Hope Theatre in Eltham.

Film Screening of Blade Runner / 1982 / The Final Cut
17th November at The Fox and Firkin
Starts at 7pm
Quiz 7.30pm
Film 8pm

Blade Runner is set in Los Angeles in November 2019, this is a once in a lifetime film screening to watch the movie in the exact month it takes place!

We will be starting our Blade Runner Night off with cool music and a special film quiz dedicated to all things Philip K Dick and the epic story that is Blade Runner that centres around replicant hunter Rick Deckard.

The film stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Daryl Hannah and is based on Philip K Dicks novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
It’s set in a dystopian future (that’s actually now!) in which synthetic humans known as replicants, bio engineered by the Tyrell Corporation, are made to work on off world colonies. A fugitive group of Nexus 6 replicants led by Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) escape back to earth and burnt out Blade Runner Rick Deckard agrees to hunt them down and terminate them. The rest is cinematic history! This film was the last to be hand crafted without any CGI and is visually astounding, add to that atmospheric music by Vangelis and you have one of the best films ever made!

We will be dressing up as our fave characters and you can enjoy a Blade Runner cocktail at the bar before settling down in the attic cinema and watching the film on our big screen in HD!

Tickets only £5 on the door or book in advance via the link in the event!

This Roots Dance features Tessa, Ras Danny and Doc Murdoch with Full Horns. They’ll be spinning 100% Roots and Culture Reggae, in a Soundsystem style. A host of special guests and Club regulars will be joining Tessa for a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the release of the “Cut”, featuring the best in music of Jamaican origin.

Tessa was the bassie throughout the career of The Slits, whose seminal 70s LP the “Cut” was produced by Dub-master Dennis Bovell. This celebration will be a one away event, at which strictly limited, signed, versions of the poster, will be up for grabs. Tessa’s selection will draw from a deep love of the reggae music and she draws from a great collection, amassed back in the day. Slits vocalist Ari Up lived for a long time in JA and sent back nuff Dubplate and ting and Tess will be drawing on these too…wow.

Another of our amigos, Ras Danny Mosiah, will also be putting the needle to the groove on the wheels of steel. He and Tessa have often worked together and view this night as a collaboration. Danny will need no introduction to regulars at The Deptford Dub Club, as he is a stalwart. He’s more widely know through his work with Jah Shaka, over many years. His sets are always wicked.

Resident Soft Wax will also spinning and live and direct will be our resident Singjay the mighty Doc Murdoch. Expect more guest vocalists and MCs on the mic. too. Warm up selection will come from local hero Don d’ Lion.

There’ll be the usual live instrumental in puts on the mic., supporting both Tessa and Soft Wax. This time we’re featuring a full live horn section. Expect Tim Topcat ( The Topcats ) on Sax, Ahmad Dayes ( United Vibrations ) on trombone and Wicked Will Roper on the Trumpet. There’ll be more talent “ than you could shake a stick at “, at the Deptford Dub Club. In keeping with the celebratory mode, there will be a wealth of the regular guest artists in attendance. This will be a historic event, in this 40th anniversary year of the “Cut”; not to be missed and don’t forget your dancing shoes.

FREE B4 9 then £3

NB: Anybody unfamiliar with Tessa’s massive contribution to bass heavy music should check out the sporadic career of the mighty Slits. A good way into this session would be their version of Johnny Clarke’s “Babylon”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5tfFlsxnsY
from late in their career. However Tess also played all over their awesome debut album, the “Cut”, which is another good starting point for exploring their ouerve. Check their covers of “Heard It Through The Grapevine” and “ Man Who Lives Next Door” too. Not surprisingly this queen of avant bass has a phenomenal collection of reggae records that she’ll be selecting from on this one away night.
