The regular Walthamstow Trades Hall club night brings famous music talent to E17 to raise money for charity
Last night (13th November), the eighth edition of Stow-Ho House took place at the Walthamstow Trades Hall, with the secret headliner revealed as Hot Chip member Joe Goddard.
The producer and DJ delivered a set of warm, melodic house and left-field electronic pop, blending deep grooves, soulful vocals and eclectic synth-driven textures for the club night’s third anniversary bash.
NTS’ Rhythm Connection host Nadia Ksaiba also performed, bringing an eclectic, emotionally charged set of disco, boogie, Italo, proto-house, techno, post- punk and acid.
The regular event brings famous music talent to Walthamstow to raise money for charity. For the eighth edition, funds will be donated to Anthony Nolan – a UK-based charity that saves lives by matching people with blood cancer and blood disorders to donors of bone marrow or stem cells.
Stow-Ho House has been described by locals as being “harder to get tickets for than Glastonbury”, with it having previously featured surprise performances from legendary figures such as Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada, Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess and Arctic Monkeys producer James Ford.
Stow-Ho House is the visionary creation of Juliet Cromwell and Sam Potts, who have harnessed their contacts and deep knowledge of the music industry to raise essential funds through the power of the dancefloor.
To date, the duo have raised over £38,000 for charities that support local E17 initiatives or are close to their hearts and to those of the DJs playing, including Eat or Heat, Waltham Forest Hub, Success Charity, War Child, Sound and Music and Astron Health.
Juliet said: “Sam and I are completely overwhelmed by the positive encouragement from the local community, along with the generosity from the DJs, industry and artists who have played and supported so far. We have big plans and are excited to see what the future holds for Stow-Ho house.”
