FRIDAY 29TH JANUARY: SASSITUDE

SASSITUDE VOL.V: THE SASS AWAKENS We're back after a short break for that festive time of year that is Sassmass. Happy new year y'all!

Feeling the January blues hun? I heard on the grapevine that there's this fabulous remedy called "sass" and here at Sassitude we are firm believers of going out on the raz in a nice fur coat and dancing to '90s songs that have the word "rhythm" in the title in order to shake off those January blues (lets face it, having the blues is not chic).

FEATURING The sultry musical stylings of everyone's favourite glamazons HARRIET SCOTT & ANGELICA BYRANT That sassy lady of mystery that the people have come to call EMILY ROSE ENGLAND

+ more to be announced (I told you I'm a lady of mystery)

Now here's the boring stuff: 10pm-3am Entry £5 Dresscode: a nice fur coat (if you chose to wear anything underneath that is up to you)
