The Candlelight Club

Had fun last week being interviewed by Charlie Barker on Hoxton Radio about our forthcoming May Ball the 16th and our exciting new venue. You can hear the segment at 1 hour 15 mins here:

It was an emotional night at our Spring Ball on 21st March, as it would be our last event at this particular venue, a ballroom in Balham that had been our home for the last three years—from our next party we'll be at a new venue, a revamped Edwardian tram shed. We had live music from Candlelight stalwarts the Shirt Tail Stompers, burlesque from Bonnie Fox, hosting by Amber Topaz and DJing by Holly of The Bee's Knees. In the bar area Michelle of Krausz Jewellery was running her pop-up store, while in the side room Lucius of Sphinx Tarot was plying his fortune-telling trade. At the beginning of the evening we also had a dance lesson from George and Sarah, teaching us how to do the foxtrot. Many thanks to all who came and helped mark the latest episode in the Candlelight Club's 15-year history.

Delighted to be welcoming back the Shirt Tail Stompers for our Spring Ball on Saturday. Steve and the band have been playing at our parties for almost as long as we've been going.

By chance St Valentine's Day fell on a Saturday this year and we held a pink-hued ball in celebration. It began with a very well-attended dance lesson in the foxtrot, followed by burlesque from Miss Betsy Rose and live jazz music from Ritzy Palooza, all introduced by Cupid's little helper Champagne Charlie. In between the iive entertainment DJ Aila was spinning platters. In the bar area Michelle Krausz was running her vintage jewellery pop-up and in a side room tarot readers Andrea and Ms Firechild were telling fortunes. Thanks to all who came and added to the joyous atmosphere (especially those who joined the conga line and limbo contest…).

At our Valentine's special on Saturday we'll be offering a free lesson in dancing the foxtrot, the default social dance of the 1920s, with teachers George and Sarah. This is the latest of our regular complimentary dance classes, which have so far also covered the Charleston, the quickstep and jive/Lindy hop. Tickets are still available, so shimmy over to https://www.thecandlelightclub.com/tickets and grab yours…

Thanks to the merry souls who gathered at our seasonal speakeasy to welcome in 2026 in the style of 1926. Thanks to our resident host Champagne Charlie, evoking the spirit of Hogmanay in a kilt, to our band Elise M Roth and her High Standards, to our dance troupe The Gatsby Girls, to our DJ Baroness Jojo from The Bee's Knees, to our tarot reader Lucius of Sphinx Tarot and finally to whoever had to sweep up all the confetti the next day. Wishing you all a splendid new year!
