Scared To Dance: Guest DJ Elis James

A club night at The Shacklewell Arms in London, where DJ sets run under the Scared To Dance name with resident Paul Richards and comedian Elis James as guest DJ.

Scared To Dance is a club night built around a playlist of post-punk, new wave and alternative rock. The resident DJ for this evening is Paul Richards, and the guest DJ is the comedian Elis James, who joins him behind the decks for the night.

The music selection named in the event material spans a wide range of acts from the late 1970s onwards. Talking Heads, Blondie, David Bowie, The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division and The Clash sit alongside more recent names such as Fontaines D.C, Wet Leg, Geese, Wolf Alice, Dry Cleaning and Cate Le Bon, with Lana Del Rey and Iggy Pop also featured. The programme is therefore a mix of older and contemporary guitar-led and dance-oriented tracks.

The Shacklewell Arms is a venue in London that hosts concerts and shows, and this night is aimed at those who want to dance to a selection of indie and alternative favourites in a club setting.
