Remember the 125 club? Who was in? Minus the performers it was more like the 115 club, and since then HAPPYFEET has rocked its way up towards an astounding 600 capacity at THE VENUE @ RYDE THEATRE. We've brought you LA rap stars with platinum albums, underground UK talent currently taking the UK scene by storm, and World Class DJ's to compliment the Island and mainland bands helping to bring that special kind of funk your way. HappyFeet nights will always be historic and eventful so be a part of them.... those in the know can still score their tickets old skool by phoning Jez, but if you're feeling all civilised these days you can CALL THE BOX OFFICE ON 01983 568099 DIRECT TO BOOK.... ;-)
And don't forget to check out OUR BROTHER VENUE THE DEVELOPMENT SUITE @ THE LIQUID LOUNGE for more great gigs....(get on something early.... why not chill with the talent in a vibing intimate bar?)
Big up to our homie at rural...peace DJ Sparrow.... peace to all those Immortals who've helped create and shape us (the three amigos - J, R and L - without you my HappyFeet wouldn't be nearly so happy!) ...
