White Mink: Electro Swing Speakeasy

We're really excited to continue our residency at this amazing, purpose-built Victorian music-hall venue. After several absolutely storming events here, we're really getting into our stride at THE GRAND adding new elements to the format all the time....

The combination of our White Mink production values and superb bands with the authentic vintage glamour of this listed theatre space is truly unique. WHITE MINK is without doubt the finest Electro Swing event in the world - VIP boxes, the very best live bands, performers and DJs and an amazing audience all make for one seriously hot party!

As ever, there is very strictly limited capacity so please buy your tickets early to avoid disappointment: We really do sell out. It isn't just hype! Invite your friends now...

This month STARRING:

★ SWINGROWERS

After Caravan Palace and Parov Stelar (both of whom they've frequently supported), these guys are one of the finest Electro Swing bands in the world. Just back from a US and Canadian tour, they were already on fire when they left Europe, so we're massively excited to welcome them back to The Clapham Grand. Expect one or two very special London guests (details coming soon) and all their biggest tunes like Pump Up The Jam and Via Con Me...

★ FLASHMOB JAZZ

The UK's answer to Postmodern Jukebox, this superb band have played with us on numerous gigs, but never on the stage at our flagship London night. Absolutely killer vintage swing band that rip into contemporary hits in superb style. Guaranteed to bring the house down, just take a look at this filmed at White Mink in Brighton:

★ JAMIE BERRY

One of our favourite producers, Jamie has released a consistently strong series of superb singles as well as brilliant remixes for loads of other people. Deep, bass-heavy sounds, inventive sampling and a commercial ear set Jamie in a class of his own. This is a rare DJ gig from one of the UK's best producers on this scene.

★ RODNEY & ALEXANDRA

The less you know about this the better! A darkly comic and strangely compelling duo who capture the spirit of 1930's Weimar Berlin (setting of the musical 'Cabaret') in a sexy, funny and beautifully strange act that blends quirky characters and unique world class juggling. Between them Rodney and Alexandra have won awards at the Edinburgh Festival, the Paris Music Hall Festival and the World Juggling Championship. They also completely stole the show at the White Mink Spiegeltent in Bristol last year... we are delighted to bring them to London.

★ DJ and Compere NICK HOLLYWOOD

Described as a 'suave impressario' by The Independent and 'the godfather of Electro Swing' by The Telegraph, Nick is behind the Freshly Squeezed record label, Radio Show and in particular, the award-winning WHITE MINK : BLACK COTTON compilation series...

★ DEPARTMENT OF BRILLIANT AV

One of the signature elements of a White Mink night, maverick AV genius of crazy light-bending inventions and trickery. Gerred has created visuals for us but is also behind the success of people like Public Service Broadcasting and lots, lots more...

★ AERIAL performers, SWING DANCERS, CASINO, WALKABOUT and more

★ As ever, expect high production values, amazing music, world-class performers, a fantastic atmosphere and surprises galore!

ABOUT:

We were named by Mixmag as the second best party in the UK. As the originators of a speakeasy and swing revival, we are proud to be "taking clubland by storm" (The Daily Telegraph). We founded London's Electro Swing Club which blew up into a world-wide phenomena and are responsible for the eponymous, album-charting White Mink : Black Cotton (Electro Swing vs Speakeasy Jazz) CD series. We curate numerous amazing festival stages annually from Glastonbury's Shangri La to Bestival's Spiegeltent, Latitude to Wilderness and we continue to promote sell-out UK shows by bands like Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace.
