The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess is the latest star to play a DJ set at E17 charity event, playing an intimate set for a tiny crowd of fans
The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess delighted fans at a charity party as he turned up to play for just 250 people.
The third anniversary of an event called Stow-Ho House took place at the Walthamstow Trades Hall, with the secret headliner revealed as Tim Burgess just hours before.
The lead singer of The Charlatans and indie legend treated the intimate capacity venue to an energetic and eclectic DJ set, bringing the same passion and musical insight to the dancefloor that has defined his decades-long career at the forefront of British music.
Other sets throughout the night came from producer, DJ and Cheap Thrills boss Hervé, Adelphi Music Factory, and more.
The regular event has a habit of bringing world class music talent to East London to raise money for charity.
For the 3rd Birthday, funds were donated primarily to War Child and also to Astron Health cancer cell sequencing to support a dear friend of Stow-Ho House.
Co-promoters Juliet Cromwell and Sam Potts said “We’re completely blown away by last night. All the DJ’s knocked it out the park and it was phenomenal to see the crowd bouncing until the lights turned on. Tim’s set was truly a floor filling masterclass – there was pure joy on the dancefloor in Walthamstow last night. Watch this space for the next event excitement.”
Rapidly establishing itself as the highlight of the E17 social calendar, Stow-Ho House is renowned as being “harder to get tickets for than Glastonbury”, according to locals with tickets selling out in seconds.
Previously, the highly sought-after gatherings have featured surprise performances from legendary figures such as Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada and Arctic Monkeys producer James Ford, alongside disco aficionado Greg Wilson, Secret Sundaze’s James Priestly, house music pioneer Lottie and celebrated artists including Frank Tope, Tayo and Trafford.
Originating as a platform for local talent, the event series has blossomed into a sensational triumph, held several times a year at The Walthamstow Trades Hall.
Stow-Ho House is the visionary creation of Juliet Cromwell and Sam Potts, who have harnessed their extensive contacts and deep knowledge of the music industry to raise essential funds in an innovative way – through the power of the dance floor.
To date, the dynamic duo have raised nearly £35k for local charities, including Eat or Heat, Waltham Forest Hub, Success Charity and Sound and Music. Their unwavering commitment to charity and dedication to providing unforgettable experiences in local venues stand as a testament to their passion for all things E17.
