TWO THINGS!!!!

FIRST THINGGGG

Smith Vs Smiths night this Friday. It's gonna be a whole bag of fun so don't miss out. Turn up. Be down. Get tickets, don't be a n***y.

SECOND THINGGGG

Furrys 25th anniversary was the best. Thank you all for making it what it is. I don't normally do this, but I thought I'd put the set list up. New stuff at the beginning, bangers in the middle, singalongs at the end. Tis the Furry way, tried and tested!

25 years of Furry Indie night ✌️❀️

I just want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you for being a part of the last quarter of a century of indie tunes at Furry.

The night was wild. So many old faces plus new ones too. Some not even born when I started this journey.

Furry was, and still is, my sliding doors moment in my life. It showed me that I could follow through on ideas. They could work and they could be fun! Without Furry there would have been no live gigs or additional club nights from myself. More importantly, there'd have been no IO Radio which has, without a doubt, been the project that I'm most proud of and has left a footprint on our town in so many positive ways ❀️

My career with Hopsters wouldn't have even started without Furry and the taste for self employment that it gave me.... so when I'm saying thank you, I really mean it.

This currently feels like some sort of crazy Indian Summer for club nights. I'm not sure how it'll end. I was 26 when I started Furry and I'm now 51.... I'll keep playing if you keep dancing πŸ‘Š Deal? Deal.

Thanks again for the support and love. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. If you're stuck for presents, tickets are on sale now for Smith Vs Smiths and the Riot πŸŽŸοΈπŸ˜‰

Muchos Love

Just over a week, folks. Furry indie night turns 25!

Tickets are now the proverbial hotcakes, so if you're umming and ahhing, then whichever one of those is buying a ticket, then you should do just that.

25 years of Indie tunes past and present await!!

What can I say? That was a lot of fun! Day time dancing rules! πŸ’ƒ

Definitely the right decision to move the event. We were cool as cucumbers πŸ₯’πŸ˜Ž

I got loads of good feedback and if you're all up for it I'll do another one πŸ‘

New night announced this week so keep em peeled!

Thanks again for being so ruddy brilliant. Couldn't do it without you all!! β€οΈπŸ‘

CHANGE OF VENUE!!

THE DAYTIME INDIE DISCO WILL NOW BE AT THE BATHS THIS SATURDAY!!

OK, I'll stop shouting but it's true we've changed the venue. We won't be at St Stephen's Church but instead, we'll be at The Baths!

Why, I hear you ask? Well, there's a yellow heat warning this weekend and the church has no real air con, where as the Baths air con is killer!! So a move is the best thing! All the times and other details remain the same!

Tickets still available and if the idea of a daytime dance in an air conditioned place appeals, then grab a ticket now!

Hi folks. Tonight it's Strange Things 80s night! 😍

I genuinely can't wait. Tickets are flying out. They probably won't sell out in advance but you never know so I'd grab them now if you can. Plus they're more on the door so save some money! πŸ€‘

See you all tonight! πŸ‘
