About Me

A monthly event. With drinking and dancing. The All England Club meets the first Tuesday of each month at Home Sweet Home (131 Chrystie) in NYC.Named after the Wimbledon grounds, The All England Club will deliver what so many promise, yet fail to deliver. All music played by the AEC DJs will be from England or the UK at the least (no matter what genre). There will be a new musical "theme" each month, but the overarching rule stands, ALL music played must be British.As the title suggests, suggested attire for All England Club events is tennis whites, but all are welcome.

My Interests

British music of any genre. Not just the britpop staples. UK music from every decade, every genre, every town, and every label.

I'd like to meet:

Eski boys, teddy boys, birds in tiny skirts. Mods, rockers, mockers. Fred Perry followers and Mary Quant misses.

Music:

Mod classics, Northern Soul, Grime/Eski, Ska, Nuggets, New Romantics, Madchester, Shoegazer, Britpop, Punk Rock, Synth Pop, DnB, Acid House, New Wave, Post Punk, 2Step/Garage, Trip-hop, the as yet undefined UK underground sounds.

Movies:

Robbie Williams. Come undone

Robbie at his finest. Hopefully this is what the next AEC will look like. Quadrophenia, Snatch, Alfie, Gambit, Get Carter, Shallow Grave, Familiar To MIllions, Live Forever.

Television:

Little Britain, The Young Ones, Benny Hill, Ladette to Lady, EPL matches.

Books:

The Acid House, Filth, A Clockwork Orange.

Heroes:

McGee, Liam, Noel, Damon, Brett, Bobby, Kate, Mani, Dizzee, Mikey, Lily.
