May at the Berkeley Suite...

DERRICK CARTER, ETIENNE JAUMET AND TWITCH ARE JUST SOME OF NEXT MONTHS ACTS AT THE BERKELEY SUITE

The Berkeley Suite, Glasgow’s premium late night bar and ballroom plays host to a malaise of musical maestros in May, with exclusive sets from Derrick Carter, Etienne Jaumet and a one off night from Optimo’s Twitch, just a few of the many highlights of the Berkeley Ballroom’s busy calendar.

Known as one half of Parisian dance duo, Zombie Zombie, French producer Etienne Jaumet will play at The Berkeley following a tour across Berlin, London and Paris. The electronic genius who recently worked with Detroit legend Carl Craig is a little bit of a coup for the venue, and is definitely a night to stick in the diary.

As you would expect it’s something a bit different from Twitch…It is three years since The Cramps Lux Interior left the planet and the intention had been to do an annual celebration of Cramps inspired Rock N Roll mania, but somehow that failed to materialise. The Berkeley Suite felt like the perfect place to rekindle this celebration, so, for one night only, you can rejoice in a night of music The Cramps taught us.

Apart from a few choice numbers from The Cramps and their close allies, this will be strictly music from the 1950s and will feature the best primal Rock n Roll, Swamp Soul, Demented R&B, Tittyshakers and general all round Sleaze. Selectors on the night will be JD Twitch with assistance from Crusher Wilbur, combined possessors of a mighty collection of 7" dementia.

As always the upstairs bar will cater for those too timid to try out the dancefloor, but for those are brave enough this is full picture of what the Ballroom has to offer next month.
