Shoreditch Shuffle

The Shoreditch Shuffle is a festival of music, art, comedy, films, theatre, burlesque and fashion organised by Who’s Jack.

Taking place on the 13th and 14th of September in London Shoreditch,  Who’s Jack have put together an impressive line up of talent and involved 17 local clubs, bars, café and pubs to give the good people of London a week-end of diverse and multi talented entertainment.

The 5 O’Clock Heroes, Little Man Tate, Akira the Don, Minus IQ, Ghostcat and 15 more bands will play live, whilst fashion types will be treated to two live catwalk shows of Pearl Lowe’s new collection at the Elbow Rooms on Saturday and Sunday. Terry de Havilland Belle Sauvage and Not Just a Label will also showcase their designs.

Those who appreciate a bit of old fashion titillation are in for a treat with burlesque performances by Crimson Skye, Dolores Delight, Lily von Lush and Cat Aclysmic. For those who like art Stuart Semple, Zarina Liew, Eskimopush and Elinor Evans are not to be missed.
Theatre performances are provided by The Pantaloons, whilst the more cinematically inclined can enjoy films by Future Shorts, Nexus Productions and Soho Shorts. There will be plenty of comedy too with Rufus Hound, Jane Bostock and Bearlesque being three of the many talents providing the laughs.

Headbanging music will be spinned by Rattus Rattus, Meat Raffle Club, Last FM DJs, Shoot, Nic Fisher, Guttersluts, Hey Joe, Mac 3000, Men in Masks and Per QX and those who just want to relax and nurse a hangover with delicious cakes and a lovely cup of tea should head to the Kemistry Bar where The Great Cake Escape will tempt the crowds with their freshly baked delicacies.
