"At Walthamstow Trades Hall, everyone is welcome, even jazzy carpets that potentially should have been retired circa ‘93. The former working men’s club has a distinctly old-school flavour to it, with spilt pints, 70-odd-year-olds teaming up with 30-somethings to sing karaoke, and a stacked line-up of bands we challenge you not to croon along to. Come on the weekend with a group who aren’t afraid to make new friends, order a Yard Sale pizza from across the road, and request/murder Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin' On A Prayer’." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
