THE TORCH CLUB

THE SOUL CASINO
The Soul Casino dance floor reverberates to a string of key innovators playing dance music from deep funk to northern, Motown, rare groove, disco, house, boogie and classic soul.

LET IT ROCK
Hear the greatest '50s rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and original rhythm 'n' blues, plus sing your heart out with rock 'n' roll karaoke, and improve your dance moves by learning the jive or stroll.

THE PICK UP JOINT
Hosted by Kristi International with DJs White Wedding and SInk The Pink

The Pick Up Joint is the perfect '60s-themed bar for all those singles, couples or groups of friends up for letting their hair down, with kitsch prizes and crazy-cool costume changes.

Shortly before midnight the party moves outside to an exclusive area overlooking the Thames, where, weather permitting, you can enjoy London's world-famous New Year's Eve fireworks away from the crowds.

Then head back inside to welcome 2013 in spectacular style. Check our website as we announce the entertainment line-up for the evening.

Oh yes - and don't forget to pick a decade and dress glamorous!
