Friday Indie Night at Hope & Anchor Islington
Hi All
We have an absolutely rocking night for you with three insanely talented and classy acts! Grit Pop Rock from the brilliant **Drew Thomas**, Alt Indie Rock from the fabulous **Lightlines** and a stunning opening acoustic set from one of the best folk soul pop artists out there - **George Huxtable**.
They are all FANTASTIC!!!
Join us from 6.45 upstairs at t
Our lineup:
Coming-of-age stories told through a modern gaze, **DREW THOMAS** grew up on music channels, scratched CDs, and the glow of a TV left on too late. Inspired by the turn of the millennium. A grit-pop revolution lives in that in-between space. Drew's songs unpack sexuality, hiding your feelings, and the familiar moment of falling out with the bathroom mirror. Rock music shaped by early-noughties honesty, written for anyone who grew up feeling out of place, still learning how to love themselves and the journey that comes with it.
Following 2025’s acclaimed Watershed EP, Drew steps into his next era with confidence, cementing his place as a modern LGBTQ+ artist. Breakout single “Girls Like Girls” went viral, pulling in over 2 million Instagram views alone, while “Do They Even Know You” earned BBC Radio 1 plays, along with spins across Amazing Radio, Total Rock and various online radios around the world, and named one of Dean Jackson’s BBC Introducing Most Played Artists of 2025.
[WATCH DREW THOMAS HERE](https://youtu.be/q7Looo8e2KQ?si=03t_N2EbQ9qaavGC)
**LIGHTLINES** are a UK alt-pop/rock trio who with loud guitars, driving drums, and honest lyrics, play music that hits hard live. Since debut single Wasted, they’ve crafted catchy, punchy songs designed for stage energy, emotional impact, and unforgettable nights.

UK-based Aussie song maker **GEORGE HUXTABLE** is crafting a sound best called ‘soully pop’. The warmth and honesty of his peformances has won him great support live. His debut album Season 22 was released in 2023.

💿Love Dancing? Bangin Club Tunes @Iconic EGG🎧Islington🎼
**Love dancing to hedonistic, high‑energy dance tunes?** Then join for our second edition of an euphoric, high‑octane dance music night with one of the finest French Swiss **dance‑music DJs and Producers** out there dropin phenomenal uplifting spiritual, hypnotic melodic grooves for us to lose ourselves to in one of the most iconic venues in London’s clubland — **KOKO** Camden, in the home of music. Collectively - their music has amassed over 18 million streams.
Expect a proper dance music club‑night experience with inspiring immersive lightshows / lasers for our bodies to sync in harmony to as with gyrate to the **rhythms** of the night. Obvs there will be no uncool mainstream "touristy" teenage pop but proper music anthems for non -stop dancin- think ecstasy inducing tunes you'd dance to at other dance music clubs like Lightbox, Egg, Bagleys, Ministry, Moondance, Fabric, Paradise, Studio 54 (Brooklyn) spun by global DJs renowed in these genres.
We'll join up to 1,500 other fellow cool young trendy music lovers for a night of blissful musical tranquility, Average age range will be 18 to 35ish heavily skewed toward 20s men.
**Free Tickets limited.** Sorry but if you don't love both uplifting dance music and dancing - please don't rsvp and deprive genuine musical dancers an extremely rare free place! And honestly, if you're only gonna stay for less than a couple of hours there's probably no point in coming. You don't need to stay till 5am like last time but as per most proper clubs - most revellers don't arrive untill 1ish and the main DJ / music sets don't even kick off till 12 so it's would be waste of a free ticket that you'd normally pay up to £70 quid for! Oh & please don't ask me about 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (like every time frequented clubs with my mates - I'd alwaly get some random 19 year old posh white english girl asking me for some - like seriously - is it cause eye is brown?). I'm not a biochemist - try your local Boots!
**=== Time To Make The Floor Burn But Early ===**
The only downside is we have to get in there before 11pm else regular door charge tickets will be about £45-80 quid. If you wanna pay for full price on door/ pre-buy and meet us in there later that's cool too as 11pm is understandably way too early to go a club (hence the free tickets) - we can sort out the details later. DM me for the free ticket link.
We'll meet beforehand somewhere quieter for pre-drinks, intros, banter and obviously music chats about our previous rave escapades, our fav tunes, and non-music related banter. As Koko gets packed by 2am (1500 standing dancing cap) and we have restricted free tickets - to avoid losing people - a small group size will be optimal for dancing and socialising so limiting RSVPs. Obviously you can dance with the other ravellers once they arrive. Will update with nearby super cheap pre-drinks Camden venue in the location and comments so keep an ear out

London Bridge – poor health, bad debts but a Grade I pub at the end
**London Bridge – poor health, bad debts but a Grade I pub at the end**
This walk is presented by Central London Humanists and led by volunteer Robert Hall. Humanists believe we have just one life to be lived rationally and well, with compassion for others.
This event is a guided walk of +/- 2.25 hours pointing out places of interest. We will be walking 3.5 Km / 2.2 miles.
This walk is a companion to the walk we did from Borough station almost exactly a year ago and there is a slight overlap. Amongst highlights we see a former church that is now being put to better use, view a building containing an operating theatre dating from 1822, a rather more modern hospital, the site of a debtors prison and a rather puzzling statue of Alfred the Great. We’ll also meet Henry (no – not the vacuum cleaner!).
**Date:** Saturday 16th May 2026
**Time:** 2 pm with a prompt departure at 2.15 pm
**Place:** Toilets at London Bridge Mainline station. The toilets are not well signposted so leave plenty of time to find them!
**Finishes:** About 4.30 pm at The George, 75 Borough High St, Southwark SE1 1NH
The walk is led by Robert – 07981963681. He can be contacted for further information but please note he won’t be able to respond to messages or calls after the walk has started.
**The formal bit:**
These walks are not suitable for dogs, sorry.
CLH events are 18+ unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The maximum group size is 40 people. If you have signed up but find you can't attend, **please change your RSVP** on Meetup (it’s very easy to do) as soon as possible so others can join.
You are responsible for your own actions and safety; there is no liability on the walk leader or CLH for anything that may happen on the walk.
You must be able to keep up with the walk leader at 4 Km/h (2.5 mph) for 5 Km (3 miles). It is participants' responsibility to safely cross roads.
Where appropriate, pedestrian controlled lights will be used and obeyed unless it is obvious that the whole group can cross safely.
When the group stops at a point of interest, please be mindful not to block pavements so members of the public can pass by safely.
Don’t forget this is the UK and it may rain at any time! The walk will go ahead whatever the weather unless conditions are dangerous so please bring clothing for all seasons.
**A donation of £3 to Central London Humanists would be appreciated.**
The majority of Central London Humanists events are free, but we welcome a £3 contribution per head. This helps towards the running and organising of events, as well as various admin expenses. If you can't attend and would still like to contribute, or would prefer to pay online, please **[click here](https://checkout.square.site/merchant/ML71XMH66FX5E/checkout/ALWCDLQ3S7AVPLFZ62PZGXLU)**.

Must See Thursday: I LOVE BOOSTERS at the Drexel + GRAETER'S!
Join us as we get together to see the top-reviewed comedy-drama, I LOVE BOOSTERS! The film comes from writer/director Boots Riley and follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. It is written/directed by Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) and stars Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore.
BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: I Love Boosters was the opening film at this year’s SXSW Festival and premiered to rave reviews! It is currently earning a tremendous 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it, “an unexpected celebration of friendship, community, and solidarity.” Others call the film “an exercise in radical empathy,” a “masterful” and “optimistic” film designed to “provoke discussion” while making the audience laugh.
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4lPRISgr9c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4lPRISgr9c)
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM: GRAETER’S! Established way back in 1870 in Cincinnati, this historic, family-owned brand is famous for their delicious small batch ice cream and any chocolate chunk flavors! They are currently the only commercial ice cream maker using the French Pot method that they’ve been using since they first opened! Plus, those chocolate chunks, oh my goodness! Vegan options are available.
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but Showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
