The lead singer of The Charlatans played a raucous DJ set at the third anniversary of charity club night Stow-Ho House last night (9th October)
Indie legend Tim Burgess treated 250 people to a “phenomenal” DJ set at the third anniversary of charity club night Stow-Ho House in Walthamstow Trades Hall last night (9th October).
The lead singer of The Charlatans played an “energetic and eclectic” DJ set, according to Stow-Ho House co-founders Juliet Cromwell and Sam Potts, who said: “We’re completely blown away by last night. All the DJ’s knocked it out the park and it was phenomenal to see the crowd bouncing until the lights turned on.
“Tim’s set was truly a floor filling masterclass – there was pure joy on the dancefloor in Walthamstow last night. Watch this space for the next event excitement.”
Other sets throughout the night came from producer, DJ and Cheap Thrills boss Hervé, and Adelphi Music Factory.
The regular event aims to bring world class music talent to East London to raise money for charity. For the third birthday, funds were donated primarily to War Child and also to Astron Health cancer cell sequencing to support a dear friend of Stow-Ho House.
Stow-Ho House has been described by locals as “harder to get tickets for than Glastonbury”. Previously, the club night has brought surprise performances from famous figures such as Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada and Arctic Monkeys producer James Ford, alongside disco aficionado Greg Wilson, Secret Sundaze’s James Priestly, and house music pioneer Lottie.
Originating as a platform for local talent, the event series has blossomed into becoming a reliable fixture of the Walthamstow clubbing scene.
Stow-Ho House is the brainchild of music minded Juliet and Sam who met while queuing to pick up their kids at nursery, and quickly decided to create a party that they could walk to and that finished at a reasonable time.
A play on the private members club Soho House, Juliet and Sam have managed to sell out consecutive events through securing big name DJs thanks to their contacts in the music industry. A key aim of the club night is to raise as much money for local causes as possible amid the cost of living crisis.
To date, the dynamic duo have raised nearly £35,000 for local charities, including Eat or Heat, Waltham Forest Hub, Success Charity and Sound and Music.
