Welcome to our new-look mailer on this historic day!
We'll be making a much bigger effort with these newsletters from now on, running competitions for some of our bigger events, giving away lots of free stuff and generally making them more informative, so please spread the love and forward them on to any interested friends.
It's been an incredibly emotional experience and we're all as excited as everyone else by what tomorrow may bring. But, regardless of the outcome tonight, here's to us all getting along together. Our nation's future may well depend on it...
Either way, we hope you'll be happy to come celebrate with us (or drown your sorrows) this weekend!

Saturday 27th: US 'Psychedelic Spaghetti Western Pioneers' Spindrift, Delta Mainline and The Last Battle (LIVE) + Ghost of the West film
 If Quentin Tarantino owned a club, Spindrift would be the house band. We're excited to be welcoming them to the Bongo as they tour Europe between performances at Oslo Psych Fest, Liverpool Psych Fest, Reverence Festival Valada (with HAWKWIND), Incubate Festival and more, promoting their recent documentary film, Ghost Of The West. We'll be screening the film exclusively at the club before the gig. Click the image below to watch the trailer and find out why they make the kind of music legendary 'Spaghetti Western' film-maker Sergio Leone would have been proud to use.
