A Real Cracker- The Meyer Dancers Festive Takeover Of Paper Dress Vintage

A few soggy mince pies and some lukewarm mulled wine tend to be the extent of most Christmas events aimed at adults. I was therefore relieved to discover that vintage clothing store come venue Paper Dress Vintage are putting some sparkle back into the festive season on Friday 13th of December! Yuletide treats include: festive GoGo dancing, two bands, a raffle, live DJ's and perhaps most excitingly a Santa's grotto complete with a complimentary gift! Whoever said that kids get to have all the fun?  

Regardless of whether you've been naughty or nice this year you can still enjoy a festive sing-a-long with Simon Love and the Crackers. I do hope they fully expect the audience to join in and belt out the Christmas classics at full pelt. Also on the bill are Thee Faction, who describe themselves as a Pure Socialist R&B group, although I'm not entirely sure what category that would come under in HMV, I've heard great things about their classic Fifty Shades Of Red. They promise that the tunes will keep on coming all night as Dj David Quanktick and Andy Lewis hit the decks playing the best in 60's soul and pop! 

At this expensive time of year, hearing that this extravaganza is a free event is extremely pleasing for my empty pockets. That said, do bring along any spare pennies if you can as there will be a raffle with some great prizes. After seeing acclaimed 60's Gogo troop The Meyer Dancers strutting their festive stuff no doubt that everyone will have their eyes on the top prize of a party package for four with the talented Meyer Dancers themselves. 

In the spirit of it being the season of goodwill all proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Hackney Winter Night Shelter. Personally I'd much rather donate to such a worthy cause than splurge on tat that I don't really need, so please give what you can at www.hwns.org.uk

The Meyer Dancers Go- Go Wild Christmas Spectacular will take place at Paper Dress Vintage on December 13th from 7.30 till late. For more information please see the Facebook Event and The Meyer Dancers website.
