The Hit Git & Split - The Howling Hops Tank Room

I'm very excited to have been offered my own brand new bi-weekly DJ residency called The Hit Git & Split at The Howling Hops Tank Room in Hackney.

The night kicks off with a Halloween Special on Saturday 31st October and then runs bi-weekly every Saturday from 7th November onwards.

I'll be playing the usual mix of Funk, Soul, Ska and 50s R&B 45s all for your listening and dancing pleasure.

It's free entry on the door all night so head on down for some musical goodness, accompanied by great food and Howling Hops Real Ale straight from the source!
