Another themed event with our favourite Club night on 23rd November at 23:00 - 24th November at 02:00 in Freakscene (Gorby’s) on Oliver Plunkett Street.
Freakscene goes formal for one night, so suit up, dust off that posh frock, dress for a ball or maybe retro cool!? Perhaps you’d prefer to keep it Rock’n'Roll so think Ska, Mod, 50s/early 60s, Madmen or even Gaga, get creative!!
Its kinda like a ball, only cheaper and without all that rotten food!
Freakscene photographers will be there to capture the glamour as per usual!
Freakscene Goes Formal
