Preview: Good Times NYE

When: 31st December 2010

Where: The Relentless Garage, Islington and The Grand, Clapham

Headliners: Norman Jay and Gilles Peterson

We all know that one of the biggest ballaches about New Year's Eve is the transport issue. You want to go to that party, but how on earth are you going to get home? Well fear no more, because Good Times are bringing the party to you - with a split venue event meaning that whether you live North or South of the river, there's an event near you.

After celebrating thirty funk filled years at The Notting Hill Carnival this year with one of the biggest and best attended carnival’s to date, Good Times is now rolling out this year's NYE eve celebration with its original sunshine vibes to the WHOLE of London, with not one, but TWO parties in our sprawling metropolis.

First up in North London (and new venue to Good Times) is one of the best-kept secrets, The Relentless Garage in Islington. With a fat live music pedigree and full refurbishment in June 2009, The Garage has played host to many a fine line up and NYE will be no exception guaranteed.

South of the Thames, Good Times are back to one of their favourite haunts -  the newly refurbished Grand in Clapham Junction; a magnificent Victorian-era listed building and one of the most stunning period theatres in the capital. Buy tickets for Good Times NYE Clapham.

After six previous sell out NYE parties all over London, including 2009’s hugely acclaimed warehouse party at Hearne Street car park which saw some amazing party scenes despite the sub zero temperatures, the good folk at Good Times know how hard (and expensive) it can be travelling around the capital on the biggest party night of the year. So with that thought in mind (and in direct response to numerous requests), Good Times are bringing the party to ALL their loyal fans this year with TWO special events at TWO outstanding London venues on the SAME night, making it much easier for EVERYONE to see in the New Year with a Good Times bang without  the hassles of travelling half way across London to do so.

With two incredible DJ line ups and headliners that rarely play together, London legends Norman Jay and Gilles Peterson will be playing at BOTH events, with the guest DJs at The Clapham Grand being Terry Farley (Faith/Boys Own), Rudy Ranks and the Loud Minority deejays Russ & Melvo hosting the Altitude bar. Guest DJs at The Garage include the Ladybugz and the Crate Diggers collectively hosting the upstairs room 2.
