Propaganda

Propaganda is a club night that regularly pulls in droves of happy-go-lucky youngsters all over the UK. I myself had never been. Instead of taking the traditional A4 Pukka Pad into the event to note down its particulars, I decided to turn to social media to record my musings.

- Broadway Baby told me to start this review at 11 - I'm not turning up to Propaganda until at least 11.45. #NobodysRules #WhichJeans

- Nearly crossed swords with an aggressive chap outside an establishment called TigerLily. I believe it is a discotheque. #IsThisTheRightWay

- Stunning archaic decor envelops the cloakroom. Polite staff. #FirstImpressions

- Luckily this is event comes with wining and dining. I request the nicest variation of vodka bucket from the barmaid. She says: The Blue One

- Interesting choice to blend Gorillaz - Dare with blinding yellow beams. Reminiscent of Beckett and perhaps Ionesco. Doesn't work for me: 2*

- Standing at a party alone in my freshly washed clothes (Mum picked them out) - I start to recall what parties were like when I was 18.

- Is there a club in the UK that doesn't smell of piss and jäger?

- Wouldn’t be surprised if One True Voice or Darius walked on and turned out to be headlining this event. #PureCheese

- Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics. Nicely nuanced vs eclectic lighting colours and neons. Clear throwback to surrealist artist Salvador Dali. 3*

- Dubstep here representing the economic struggles of Burkina Faso as it battles through litigation to end a 4 year drought of solid leadership

- #PhrasesFromTheGuyInTheMensLoos 'No Lolly - No Dolly'

- #PhrasesFromTheGuyInTheMensLoos 'No Paco Reban - You Go Home With a Man'

- I don’t know if Tom Deacon is a funny comedian or not. But if he plays Mr Brightside 1 more time I will vault the barrier and have strong words

- Really aggressive bloke taking it upon himself to punch every floating balloon in the room. #Feral #CueToLeave

Cheap drinks, a clean(ish) nightclub and a scattering of people. If you like indie music or songs that make you go 'Ooh Yeah' before running to the dance floor, head on down. All in all, it's just another link in the chain of mediocre nationwide superclubs.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
