Feeling Gloomy Presents: Gloomy Sunday. Starts 20th April at Tooting Tram and Social
Sunday. Much like war, one could ask what it is good for. Arguably the gloomiest day of the week. The comedown from the excesses of Saturday and nothing to look forward to except five more days at the work-face. No, when God invented Sundays he was having a laugh at our expense. In order to give this most melancholy of days the event it deserves Feeling Gloomy bring you: ‘Gloomy Sunday’ at the Tooting Tram and Social kicking off on.
Housed in the almost too perfect setting of a gloriously restored old tram shed (Right next to the bingo club) Feeling Gloomy will be laying down the melancholic beats to relieve (Or perhaps build up) those Sunday blues and best of all its free! The World’s first club night devoted to sad music packs it Marmite lunchbox and heads South…
Behind this act of Gloomy generosity comes a demand from lovers of The Gloom from down South. As promoter Carl Hill puts it, ‘We have a lot of South London fans who make the long trek up North, so to say thank you to them for their devotion we are going to pop down to them once a month in a rather stripped back format”. Indeed this will be no ordinary Feeling Gloomy, for one thing it will be a rather more seated affair and secondly the music will be…of a rather more… hardcore gloom type. As Carl says it’ll be a chance to play many more of the tunes we don’t get to play on the normal nights. It’ll be deeper, not neccesarilly darker, but certainly less dancey. More Leonard Cohen and less Cure I guess would sum it up and yes I will be breaking out Art Garfunkel singing ‘Bright Eyes’. I guess it will fulfil the need in me to sit there with a pile of cds and play whatever I like without having to worry if the dancefloor is packed!’
All requests must be made in the form of a gloomy poem and there will be a collection tin in aid of the Depression Alliance whom Feeling Gloomy continue to support. There will be carefully selected sad films playing and a few other bits and pieces thrown in. Resident Feeling Gloomy hosts Len and Cliff will pop in, though DJ Grim Reaper will be absent as he will be observing the Sabbath.
Mondays will look a breeze now after all, having come to Gloomy Sunday, the only way is up!
