"For the people were forlorn and knewst not what to doest with themselves, thus the good Lord did decree that POKE must returnst in the autumnst, and - lo! - it was writ large on Facey-B and other social media, and the world was well"

- Shalamar, Ch3; v8

Saturday night was bloody brilliant; probably one of the best POKEs we’ve ever had! Big thanks to everyone that came down after a full day of Pride-ing and danced like loons, especially the dude that was throwing some hella impressive shapes to Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire towards the end of the night - we salute you, sir!

TOMORROW NIGHT!!

Like us, you'll obviously all be boppin' around to Belinda and 'fightin' like me daaahd' on the Town Moor during the afternoon of July the 18th, yes? As stupidly fun as that will undoubtedly be, we suspect you'll likely be in need of rather more wholesome musical nourishment come the eventide, to help purge you of such dangerously high levels of gay abandon.

And that's where POKE comes in.
