And well, off under the Westway, over in West London, Art Car Boot Fair x Lowlife presents Way Art West on the day after the election on Friday 5th July.  Those Art Car Boot Fair people say “Low Life is the best night you never heard of (unless you’re in the know). A “professional house party,” started in 1995 in Harlem, USA by dance music supremos Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, Low Life brought New York’s hedonistic dance floor spirit to the UK in 1998 and never looked back. Having grown strictly by word-of-mouth, there’s a rare spirit of fun and togetherness to be had. Expect a warm welcome, devoted dancers across the generations, and some of the best dance music known to mankind.

Frank Broughton is a DJ, writer and music historian, co-author of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey, Sarah Tonin is a young and rising star on the scene with an incredible knowledge of music and a much-loved show on Do You Radio. Come early for the art then stay for the party…”

THE ALPHABETICAL ARTIST LIST INCLUDES: Camille Phoenix, Charlie Evarist-Boyce, Christian Furr, Christine Binnie, Daisy Gammon, Emma Harvey, Flying Leaps, Grow Up with Billy The Kid, Jayne Right, Juno Calypso, Keira Rathbone, Marie Brenneis, Misha Milovanovich, Mizuki Doura, Oli Fowler, Pure Evil, Rachel Megawhat, Rankin, Sean Worrall, Tatty Devine, The Misfortune Teller and as always, we’d expect a few surprise additions to the event that is billed as a post election celebration (we do hope there’s something to celebrate, do remember to go vote out to help out, the fewer Tories standing the better after all their self-serving contempt and pocket-lining of the last fourteen years)

Buy your £5 ticket (for access from 5pm) via this fine looking link right here. The event runs from 5pm -10pm at Basketball Court at The Scale Space, 58 Wood Lane, London, W12 7RZ.

The ever evolving Art Car Boot Fair has been a vital part of the London art calendar for something like twenty years now, indeed is it actually twenty years since the first one? This year’s main event happens in Kings Cross on September 7th where you can expect the full on the fair, an artist-friendly event where you can expect a carefully curated cast of familiar Art Car Boot Fair names alongside one or two you might not have come across before, more about the main event later. Besides the big one, the fair has always done other things, gone to other places, seaside treats in Margate, Hastings, the Liverpool Biennial, that time in an old forest in Sussex, in the rain of the Applecart Festival, down in Cornwall (or was it Devon?), the Olympic Park back when it first opened, the appearances at the Folkestone Triennial have always been a highlight. This yes, while we warm up for Kings Cross, the Art Car Boot Fair will be over by the Westway, with Lowlife for Way Art West, do it, do it, do it, feels like something special…
