Bollywood Night Reading

DJ Nav and DJ SABHI are taking over Calico Bar & Eatery on Friday 30 October for a Bollywood night that runs into Saturday morning. It's a Krivi Events production, put on in collaboration with the Calico team, and it's billed as a pre-Diwali bash, so the timing works out as a lead-up to the festival.

This isn't the first time they've done this here. The organisers describe it as a follow-on from a previous Bollywood night at Calico, and they're framing this one as a bigger, better and crazier edition. If you were there last time, you'll have an idea of what to expect; if not, it's a night built around Bollywood music and dancing, with Nav and Sabhi on the decks.

One thing that sets this apart from a standard DJ set is that they're asking for your input. They've invited people to send in music recommendations beforehand, and they'll use those to help shape the playlist, so the tracks that get played will come from the crowd as much as from the DJs themselves. It's a good way to make sure your favourites actually get a spin.

Calico is on the ground floor at 33 London Street, RG1 4PS, and they'll have food and drinks available throughout the night, so you can eat and drink without having to leave. The night kicks off at 19:00 on Friday 30 October and runs through to Saturday 31 October, with tickets starting from £5.00.
