Blow Up Club:
Now legendary and well into its second decade. What was started in '93 by DJ and promoter Paul Tunkin as Camden's finest in the upstairs of The Laurel Tree, over the years has had residencies in several London venues including its longest at the now defunct Wag Club on Wardour St. Now in cosy environs of the Metro for over five years. You will hear a high energy mix of New Wave and Classic British and International Pop from 60s too the 00's alongside 60s Soul, Beat, Mod Jazz, Boogaloo and Soundtracks...
