Bordee d'Branchage 2010

Branchage's Saturday night party, La Bordee d'Branchage, tends to be pretty good. Ok, it's always been really good. In 2008 the party was headlined by Paloma Faith, in 2009 we had Kitty Daisy & Lewis and The Correspondents - wise choices that went down a charm. But with great wisdom comes great responsibility... the responsibility to make each year's Bordee d'Branchage even more cracking than the last. Bashful Branchage isn't one to blow its own trumpet, but oh my have we got a corker coming up this year (on Saturday 25th).

Victorian. Boardwalk. Burlesque.
Come aboard the Victorian Seaside Sideshow... Laugh at the Pierrots, learn to Charleston, play the coconut shy, sing-along with the Vaudeville dame, until... The rabble of gypsy musicians descend with their epic Balkan brass refrains.

Have a peek at headliners the Ziveli Orkestar, who'll be coming over from Paris, here:



Then there's 1920's flappers the Bee's Knees, Plaster of Paris and aerial artist Geneva Foster-Gluck (picture above) as well as over 20 other walkabout performers working their magic.

Exciiiiiiiiitement.

Dress Code: Victorian Burlesque Dames, Gypsy Kings and merry Sailors
