Join us at Passing Clouds for a female-led night of ecstatic live music to celebrate the NIGHT OF THE GODDESS!!
Before patriarchal religion took over and made it unlucky, Friday the 13th belonged to the Great Goddess, known by many names including Isis, Astarte, Nut, Nammu, Ninmah, Ishtar and Inanna.
With 13 lunar cycles in a year, and Friday associated with goddesses Freya, Venus and Aphrodite, this night was all about celebrating the Divine Feminine in all its’ glory and we at Passing Clouds think it’s about time we brought the juicy woman vibes back to Friday the 13th!
DRESS CODE: Full-on Goddess attire strongly recommended whatever your gender identity!
LIVE:
***DILA V & THE ODD BEATS***
(Eastern Psychedlia/Turkish Turbo Folk)
Dila V & The Odd Beats are all about multinational hip shimmying gypsy folk and roots from far away lands.
Fronted by the spellbinding Dila Vardar, this Bosporus-straddling blend of Turkish folk and irresistible Balkan dance beats comes with sinuous hints of Greek Rebetiko amongst other tasty world music flavours.

***GARANCE & THE MITOCHONDRIES***
(New Orleans Swing Chaotica!)
Impeccable and baffling French Music delivered with exuberance and panache!
Garance & The Mitochondries are a spellbinding dirty-tango/ rock'n'roll band that haunt the margins between Tom Waits, Edith Piaf and 60s French pop, informed by charming burlesque, cabaret flourishes and sublime gypsy accordion touches. Let them dance into your dreams.
