BLOW UP 18TH BIRTHDAY PARTY - BLOW UP DJs + LIVE GUESTS: DAVE WOODCOCK & THE SPLINTERS:ME-MELBOURNE

Plus live guests Dave Woodcock & The Splinters + TBA. Dave Woodcock & The Splinters return to Blow Up after their show in September and will be heading up from the town of outstanding talent Southend-On-Sea. Expect great songs delivered in Dave's own inimitable Essex style... their shows are the closest you'll get to an old-fashioned knees-up with Chas 'N' Dave and Ray Davies. Blow Up's playlist is far from being defined by the Brit Pop genre it helped kick-start back 18 years ago in 1993: alongside live bands expect to hear British Pop, Glam and New-Wave colliding with 60s Soundtracks & Electronica, Library Music, Indie-Pop, 60's Soul, Beat, Garage, Funk, Ska & more. A celebration from the other side of Pop where the Kinks, Bowie, Blur share the dancefloor with current newcomers Pete & The Pirates, British Sea Power and Metronomy, all alongside Blow Up’s trademark mix of Swinging Soundtracks & TV Themes (The Italian Job to Barbarella), 60s Exotica & Electronica (Jean-Jacques Perry), 60s Club Soul (Motown, Stax etc.), Northern Soul, Beat, Mod Jazz, French Pop (Jacques Dutronc, Bridget Bardot) and New Wave (XTC, Wire).
