There's a bad moon on the rise over the Balham Bowls Club as THE PAYDAY SALON looms ghoulishly out of the freezing fog of the Hallowmas season!

Rising from the grave, we welcome to the stage:

TERRY & THE CLERIHEWS, in which the legendary raconteur, man of letters and confidant of the stars Terry Staunton treats the patrons of The Payday Salon to a selection of strangely compelling verse, shortly to be collected in book form by a specialist publisher operating out of a shadowy address on the Rive Gauche.

KELLY CONVEY, whose meteoric rise on the stand-up circuit has been garlanded by awards galore and a bursting diary of professional engagements, and whose lifestyle as revealed in her bewitching, side-splitting performances has resulted in a growing collection of court orders and police cautions. Not to be missed!

ESE & THE VOODUU PEOPLE, starring quite simply the best singer in Britain, a voice for the ages yet who writes and performs songs that get to the heart of life as lived by millions today. Backed by her percolating band of ace musicians and featuring guest appearances from the cream of the South London music scene, Ese is a superstar in waiting, and now is the time to catch her in an intimate setting before it all goes Glasto.

Yes, a fortnight today on Thursday, September 29th!

The nights will be drawing in and the season of mellow mists and fruitfulness will be upon us. But there is one place that is always an inferno of sound, style and savoir-faire. And that is THE PAYDAY SALON in the luxurious setting of the Ballroom of the Balham Bowls Club every last Thursday of the month.

So join the beautiful people in our oh-so-chic corner of downtown Babylon for an evening that will loosen your fillings, tattoo your glutes and crazy-pave your amygdalofugal pathway — or your money back!
