GET INVOLVED! Two nights where the crowdro help out

Fancy something more than passive entertainment on your nights out? Here are two options where the crowd get to shape the fun. At The House Clearance Party at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes (Saturday August 22), you can take home more than just memories of dancing to top tunes ñ you can take home the tunes as well. Two generous DJs will give away every seven-inch single they play to the crowd over the night. There are no strings attached ñ that would be cruel ñ but youíll have to be quick and sharp of elbow to grab the grooves. Thereíll be disco, funk, hip hop, Motown, northern soul and multiple copies of Jackoís ëDonít Stop íTil You Get Enoughí to get your mitts on. Getting grabby with it Or if youíd like to choose the The House Clearance Party tunes yourself, head to new late- night Farringdon bar The Piano

Works. Write your song on a napkin by Prince, The Dandy Warhols, the Ronsonites. Maybe donít pick bohemian (okay, scruffy) Time Out Nightlife and staff will put it into an on-stage Coolio, Queen, Britney and ñ sadly ñ rare Drexciya 12-inches though, readers might be used to, so donít pot, then used by the house band as Mark Ronson. But hey, get in there eh? Things get boozier, livelier plan on going there before you head their set list. When Time Out visited, with enough suggestions (plus tip, and dancier later on, but the vibe to nearby Clerkenwell rave cave they worked their way through songs if you like) and you can drown out is still a little smarter than some Fabric.
