‘It's a Gravesend Ting’


Leos Red Lion, Crete Hall Rd, Gravesend, Kent DA11 9AA

A pilgrimage to celebrate, in a one off event, the decades of Gravesend's dance music lovers, of all era's and genres, alongside many of the major DJ's who were raised up by the demand from the town's people on the dance-floor for top tunes to groove their dancing feet too.

Plus raising a glass or two with the music to those that are beloved in memory, whose names will adorn the stage wall under bright lights on the night. All together once more on a wonderful August Bank Holiday Sunday..

As town's go Gravesend is as unique in the dance music world for its decades of DJs as some global cities are for the music they gave life to, like Chicago and House Music, New Orleans and Jazz, the Bronx and Hip Hop, Detroit and Philadelphia with Soul Music. Gravesend's people and it's DJ's started a Tsunami that literally rolled around the world. Something I have personally witnessed, as a Gravesend lad, from Bondi Beach to Honolulu, Hawaii.

To fully appreciated that statement you have to have lived, grown-up with, and danced amongst the extraordinary spirit called "Its A Gravesend Ting". Just ask Pocahontas, she is still there dancing on her podium in spirit with Gravesend being the perfect resting place for a Princess of people who loved to dance and sing too...

It's a true pilgrimage and tribute to the unique spirit of Gravesend's people, past and present. Limited tickets available to those that know and belong to that "ting"...
