The fantastic MRS MILLS EXPERIENCE - a reinvented music hall singalong sensation - took over the good ship Tamesis Dock on the River Thames for a fantastic free Offine Club party.
Also on stage was the all-girl go-go troupe The Actionettes, providing a tidal wave of dance moves in a nautical-themed evening of entertainment - and we had Mermaid Morris dancing too!

GIG DETAILS:
MRS MILLS EXPERIENCE
Rolling out a barrel of irony-untroubled, hipster-free, good time entertainment, the Mrs Mills Experience is made up of an unlikely combination of Brixton-based dance DJs and punk musicians united by their improbable love of piano-thumper extraordinaire, Mrs Gladys Mills.
Delivering a variety pack of authentic, working class singalong tunes, the Mrs Mills Experience aims to make the audience the star, unleashing a salvo of good time music for these austerity stricken times. Expect a full on party atmosphere, with party hats, streamers and singalongs!
This new band have already been making huge waves, securing a prestigious Saturday night slot at this year's Vintage Festival (before they'd even recorded a demo!) and attracting the attention of the BBC who will be filming them in action for a documentary. Don't miss them!
THE ACTIONETTES
Fiesty, friendly, fun and fiercely anti-conformist, The Actionettes manage to cause a stir wherever they go, with their unique style, infectious enthusiasm, high-octane performances and general joie de vivre.
As seen on Charlie Brooker's TV show and BBC2's Culture Show, these stars of Ladyfest and Vintage 2012 are not to be missed!
