Description

Welcome to the Swinging 80s!

Tonight is the night to DRESS TO IMPRESS.
We will be :-)
Mick Jagger famously got refused entry to the Blitz club for not dressing right. Don't be a Jagger!
If in doubt just ask yourself, "what would Bowie wear?".

?I?d find people at the Blitz who were possible only in my imagination. But they were real? ? Stephen Jones, hatmaker, 1983.

?The truth about those Blitz club people was more interesting than most people?s fantasies? ? Steve Dagger, pop group manager, 1983

Claptrap The Venue Profile Pic

Description

We really really like music. We like putting on music events. We also really really like really nice people so we opened an independent venue to give a home to good live music and generally lovely folk. We span many genres. All of them in fact - at least we’re trying to - yes, even Jazz!

We’re friendly, cosy, alternative and intimate. We are a music venue for musicians.
We also do poetry nights, quizzes...you get the gist.

We much prefer original bands. We don’t mind a few covers thrown in but unless you’re offering something quite bonkers & original then it’s generally a no for covers.

Claptrap is 1st floor venue & bar, catering for live music, entertainment, theatre, poetry, quizzes & jazz. (Occasionally hired for private functions).

Not your usual venue - it has Chesterfield sofas, wingback chairs and frilly lampshades aplenty!

An extensive range of bottled and canned craft beers are available incl. Kona, Mongozo, Beavertown, Dark Arts, Siren, Wild Beer Co.

On draught - Freedom 4 Lager, Freedom Pale Ale, Thatchers Old Rascal Cider.
