We are so excited to be collaborating with Newcastle's favourite American themed 'Dive Bar' Billy Bootleggers for this extra special event.  So if you can remember Quadrophenia first time round and were a better dancer than Sting (you know you were!!) or if you just fancy an afternoon dancing to floor filling Mod classics on VINYL, then Billy's is the place to be!  

It's a FREE event but if you fancy making a party of it why not book Billy's legendary Bottomless Brunch at the bar (£34 for Prosecco, Mimosas & Selected Beers/Cider).

See you there kids!  (hoy Sting move over a bit ..!)

Tenacity pays off ✊

CLUB A’GOGO on TYNE TEES

Friday, 29 Sept (approx time 5/6pm)

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce we will be interviewed on Tyne Tees tomorrow! It’s a year since the Club a’Gogo heritage plaque was unveiled and to mark the occasion we were invited by the Let’s Caper team to collab with them on their Baltic Takeover event on Friday . Tyne Tees will be chatting to us about it.

So … be prepared to be dazzled as I attempt and fail to talk posh. Be baboozled as Paul makes no attempt to lose his thick Geordie accent and talks ‘jarra’ throughout. Cringe at me butting in all the time to correct Paul . All in a days work!!

Get tuning in for the early evening bulletin folks.
