Hiya shipmates, how much did yer miss me last week? Not at all? You rotters. Oh well, I went on holiday to the ould country and didn't have time to send you your weekly dose of fun. However for some free fun Monday night we continue our Edinburgh Festival preview shows, all entirely FREE. We also have a full range of music for the rest of the week from indiepop, through punk, funk and new wave. The full listings are below.
ALSO, if you are 18 or thereabouts please please bring some ID when you come to T'Ship. We try to be as liberal as possible but we cannot break the law so please just bring it. If you are under 18 then ask about various shows and we will accomodate where we can although we cannot let you in on Friday and Saturday nights after 11pm.
For the summer ahead we have loads more DJs and bands lined up and are speaking with various people to put on acts that will help cement Kilburn's reputation as the buzzing but discerning night spot that it is fast becoming.
