"We're pretty broad minded here, and if you stop short of smashing the piano, there isn't much you can do at the Drones that will cause the raised eyebrow and the sharp intake of breath".
PG Wodehouse, "Young Men In Spats"

| About
The Drones Club
The Drones Club is home to harmonic drones and jollity of all stripes, inviting artists, performers and audience to participate in a world apart from mundanity. We prefer to think cosmically, and act musically. Or is it the other way around? Not all the music played at The Drones Club is necessarily droney (though it might well be). Sometimes it is danceable, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes melodic, often harmonic. No-one has yet smashed a piano, at least not literally, but it might happen one day. Thankfully the music and crowd at The Drones Club is rarely dull, and more often than not quite entertaining - as is only to be expected when the event is subtitled "an evening of jollity, romance and harmonic drones". Venues Our home for the first five Drones Club events, The Eye in Stoke Newington, North London, has long ago closed its doors. We would like to thank the staff and management at The Eye for making us welcome there, particularly for the spectacular final gig (the last at the venue) on 8th January 2005 when a storming two hour-plus show before a packed venue from S/T brought proceedings to a close in fine ecstatic-psychedelic style, their set only terminated by equipment failure. Other venues for the Drones Club have included Bardens Boudoir, The Others, and Barracuda, all in Stoke Newington. We have also presented events in association with Corsica Studios in Elephant and Castle, and at the eccentric legend which is The Klinker club. Our recent home has been Stage B on Stoke Newington Church Street, where we hold irregular events in the downstairs lounge. |  | |
