The Sad Disco

An alternative club night for those of a dramatic temperament.

Do you know how some nights are reserved for lying on the floor of your bedroom listening to Lana Del Rey and silently weeping? The Sad Disco invites you to bring those tears along and share them with us. Bring us your broken hearts, your lonely longings, the fullness of your feelings. Send us your song requests, let us build this playlist together and dance the darkness away. 

Featuring a DJ set by Lady Lake and poetic performances from three local poets.
