LONDON! 🇬🇧 For one night only, a white gay man named Jake Schroeder AKA @frostedjake explains everything. From rotisserie chicken to SOHCAHTOA to Luigi Mangione, from Iran to sauvignon blanc to package theft, this white gay man covers it all. He’s white, gay, and man. Is it mansplaining? Yes. But much, much cuter because it’s a musical! 💋 🎤 📅 13 June @hoxtonhall 🎟️ aegpresents.co.uk (selling fast!)

The fabulous @kerryfdr who is one of the directors of Folk Dance Remixed went to work on the Strictly Cabaret ‘May Day’ afternoon for seniors @hoxtonhall with @hackneycircle & the team at Hoxton. As you can see by these brilliant photos Kerry created a wonderful workshop for their bespoke Maypole which was dreamt up by Poppy who runs the event! Much, much fun was had by all , it brought a smile to everyone’s face and really brought them together in a beautiful way 🥰 The host @topsieredfern did a marvellous job too! Thanks to all the team at Hoxton Hall. We hope we’ll be back soon to spread some more joy 🥳🥳🥳☀️☀️☀️ 📸 @seanpollockphoto #maypole #hoxtonhall #communitydance #remixedmaypole folkdanceremixed

#GetToKnow: @ddirtybblond For Fans Of: @saerows , @charlienoordewier , @orlychorly Corey Sanders, aka Dirty Blond, stepped up to the mic at a recent sold-out gig with a grin and a warning. “Are you having a good night? Good — because I’m going to ruin it.” The crowd laughed. Then he played. And instead of killing the mood, he tightened it —a roomful of strangers locked into the same feeling, singing back every bruised lyric like it belonged to them. That’s the trick: the heavier the heartbreak, the stronger the connection. In Corey’s hands, melancholia doesn’t isolate, it unites. That tension — sorrow turning into connection — sits at the heart of Dirty Blond. The songs are bruised and vulnerable, but in a live setting they feel expansive, even euphoric. There’s comfort in the candour, in the shared recognition of something difficult but true. It’s no surprise that audiences keep growing, both in rooms and online. Hailing from Wales — “the land of music and magic,” as he fondly calls it — Corey has been steadily building towards this moment. With an album due later this year, he’s been sharing a run of stripped�back sad songs on TikTok, quietly amassing tens of millions of likes and an increasingly devoted following. The online rise tells one story. The real one, though, is happening in real time, in packed-out venues where heartbreak somehow makes everyone feel a little less alone. Catch @ddirtybblond 's London headline show at @hoxtonhall this June 30th. Tickets are on sale now.

Their lyricism explores their experiences as a queer disabled POC, to develop a sonic space especially for those who feel their differences being used against them.' @the_awkward_silences - legendary antifolk house band/house cats, fresh off their tour with @jeffreylewisband Tarot readings @tarotwithjuliette FULL ACT SPOTLIGHTS COMING SOON.

We aim for better access and inclusion for the audience and performers, at an event you'd actually want to bring your friends to. This is a space where neurodivergence is the norm and celebrated. Dance however you want, or don't. Allies and friends welcomed with open arms. Just don't make us do small talk! Bring a mate, bring a date - it’s just a damn good night out. With thanks to @aceagrams , @ayntheatre , our hosts @hoxtonhall , artist @pierrot_lou (who may well bring a merch stand... if you're lucky folks!) and to our supportive community, ND and allies alike.
