COSSACK DISKO - the monthly club night hosted by the indomitable Penny Metal! Yes she gets to indulge her love of all things Russian and eastern European - music, alcohol, graphics and big hats. It is the official home of Mad Tunes - anything from obscure tarantellas, polkas, ridiculous Romanian fiddle tunes, Russian chorals and Greek syrtakis aplenty. All polished off with a heavy dose of Russian schlager, surf and Ukrainian wedding tunes. Like any good Russian tune the night starts off slow(ish) and ends up really fast with cossack high kicks and somersaults and a healthy dose of vodka. All this and a background slideshow of Soviet adverts for fish paste and shoe polish!
