SKYLARKIN'
Saturday 22nd Jan 05
@ The Marie Lloyd
(Next to the Hackney Empire)
289 Mare St
Hackney E8
9pm til 1am
FREE-NESS!!!

This Saturday I'm down my local boozer playing corkin' choons to assorted east-end theatre going types and anyone else who happens to stumble through the door. It won't be a pure Reggae ting by any means but there'll be plenty of Jamdown sounds alongside some blistering Funk, Soul, Afro-beat, Jazz, Rap and pretty much whatever else accidentally ends up in my record box. The venue doesn't usually pull a big weekend crowd by any means (mainly cos no-one can tell the bleedin' place is open!!!) so it'd be good to see ya down there if you can make it.
Cheers,
Mistah Brown (the Tighten Up Crew)[/i]

More music hall than dancehall eh Steve....
You should really dig out some Marie Lloyd for the event!
We'll certainly pop down the road for a jar or two
Be good to see you,
Pilot and the Dalston Dame

[mistah brown]

Nice one Pilot. Spent far too much money @ that Vinyl Vault the other day so i'll be rinsing my new choons just to get my money's worth!

I've wandered round the Empire a few times looking for the Marie Lloyd with no success... is it on Mare Street? Because if I can find it I might well come down, i have a feeling might be a bit sorrowful on that night so music would be good.

edited as I read the address clearly printed in first post, duh...

It's where the Samuel Pepys used to be.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

[rutabowa]

that's what i heard.., unfortunately i didn't know where that was, either.

[Bilko]

Right on the corner of the theatre, closest one to the Town Hall. It's under a brick monstrosity that says 'Hackney Empire' or somesuch.

[rutabowa]

cool thank you, i can't believe i've missed it before, that's just where i was looking! i'll try again, and this time bring someone with better eyes.

[mistah brown]

I think it's hard to spot cos there's not a big sign saying "MARIE LOYD BAR - WE ARE OPEN!!!" Annoyingly they tend to keep the curtains drawn to keep in the warmth, with the result that it always looks closed. I'll wear something eye-catching and stand in the front window waving!!!

Hi Steve, so it's you who keeps buying all the good tunes in there just before I go!!

Hugh, i'll give you a bell on Saturday, I may well join you for a drink...

Cheers
