If you do have a game to set up we recommend getting there earlier. * It is a relaxed atmosphere, where we generally prioritize company over fierce competition. * Please bring along any games you think we might enjoy, or you can play from the games that others bring. * We split into a few groups based on people's game preferences and numbers, and usually have plenty of time to try a few games over the course of the evening. * The event hosts are regular attendees but might not make it to every event - if you can't spot us, then just approach the folks sitting at tables surrounded by board games (usually on left as you come in the door). We're a friendly bunch and will be more than happy to welcome you. (Please update your RSVP if it turns out you'll be unable to attend, to free up your space for others who may otherwise miss out!)

Expect to hear **multi-genre** **anthemic songs** from Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse, Backstreet Boys, Adele, Kings of Leon, Taylor Swift, David Bowie, Natalie Imbruglia, Britney Spears, Nirvana, Bob Marley, Beyoncé, Bon Jovi, Ray Charles, Oasis, Alanis Morissette, Madonna, Beatles, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Fleetwood Mac, Blur, The Proclaimers, ABBA, Nirvana, Queen, Lady Gaga, George Michael, Shania Twain, Whitney, Dua Lipa, Elton John, , A‑ha, Michael Jackson, Radiohead, Guns N’ Roses, Luther Vandross, The Monkees, John Denver, U2 and other musical legends **=== High Octane** **Melody Fueled** **Night Out ===** This will be a highly fun entertaining night out with high octane feelings blanketed with an electrifying atmosphere charged with raw musical energy, soul and emotion. Whether you like to get in front of a mic at Karaoke or you're a secret car perfomer - expect symphonies to unfold in harmony with a vibrant crowd of young music lovers as the band transforms you from boring city of London exe by day into a **pop star** for the night. And if you have a natural sense of rhythm it would be selfish not to show off your charismatic stage presence by droppin some **funky dance moves** as no rock star performance is complete without! Of course, you don't need to get up and perform - if you **love music** but don't want to sing, you are welcome to socialise, cheer, singalong and dance with the rest of us. Slots to build melody fueled new connections are strictly limited.

I'll also always share my number and location / table number in the comments in case of any issues finding us **=== Venue & Itinerary ===** We are back at our Camden venue with the band offering excellent choice of songs. Early on we will meet around the bar area and once the first song hits most of us will move closer to the front stage to dance and singalong to the tracks so come on time for early intros - when the band starts it gets pretty loud. I will share my number on the eve and update in the comments section on whereabouts. After the band finishes around midnight, we’ll head to one of my free local Camden music DJ hangouts for more drinks, chats, dancing, and of course music **=== MUSIC EVENTS WATSAPP GROUP ===** For music fans who love music and want to hear about mostly free music‑related events in London, we do have an exclusive WhatsApp group you can join subject to minimal vetting. If you have attended an event before or at least met the organiser in person send me a request and I will add you / send you link to join:! I’ll share all my music events here in advance first so people can RSVP earlier and avoid waiting lists. People can also share last min non‑meetup MUSIC events too. Lucas The Music Maestro

Want to learn pickleball in a fun, low-pressure setting? I’m hosting a free beginner-friendly meetup at Olentangy Parklands to help new players learn the basics and get comfortable on the court. I’m a pretty skilled player and will walk everyone through the essentials, including rules, scoring, serving, basic strategy, and how to start playing real games. No experience needed. We’ll meet on the upper courts. Bring a pickleball paddle if you have one. If not, no problem, I’ll have some extras available for people to use. This event is meant for beginners and anyone curious about trying pickleball for the first time. Come ready to move, learn, and have fun.
