Stumblin’ Slims @ Village Underground – Saturday 21st January

The team behind The Blues Kitchen – Stumblin’ Slims, offers a night of live rock n roll and blues bands and DJ intermissions which is definitely fun packed if a little exhausting!

So I donned my spotty 50s prom dress, hitched my hair into a high ponytail and set out for the night. We were double booked with social events on that night but as luck would have it they were only one street apart in the Shoreditch area of London. At just after 9pm we made our way to the rock n roll night. To our surprise we were told to come back ten minutes later, which was very odd as it was advertised as 7pm - 3am. Disappointed we went back to the party we had just left and returned to try again an hour and a half later.

We arrived when the four piece band The Black Kat Boppers were in full swing; there were eager jivers in front of the stage and a small crowd dancing behind them trying to avoid the flailing limbs! Full of spirit and style The Black Kat Boppers entertained the crowd setting the pace with the double bass and stand up drums and encouraging whoops and hollers.

After one reasonably priced G&T we realised that it took some effort not to jig along when the bopping beats were filling the large warehouse space so we ditched the drinks and hit the dance floor – which was in fact the whole venue space minus the bar and cloakroom areas.

If you didn’t have the time or the know-how to set your hair in a 50s fashion help was at hand with a stylist to complete your look for you.

Unfortunately the majority of dolls at Stumblin’ Slims were there with their cats so there was a lack of dance partners, however this did not stop us from bopping and twisting along to the band and DJ for a few hours!

The atmosphere at the venue was fun and relaxed with the girls in their vintage outfits and the guys looking just as dapper, Stumblin’ Slims transports the boogying crowd back to a more innocent time where the focus was on the music and having a good time rather than the drink.

Will I be returning? Definitely, though I will arrive slightly later to make sure my feet can last a night of none stop dancing.
