Mr. McClelland's Finishing School

  • Dance
  • Nightlife

Mr. McClelland's Finishing School is a celebrated night of dancing to pop music. And that means all kinds of pop music.

From The Smiths to The Beatles, from Weezer to Prince, from Belle & Sebastian to The Supremes, from Pulp to Passion Pit, from James Brown to Blur, from Rage Against the Machine to Run DMC, from The Spice Girls to Arcade Fire.

It's all for dancing.

Featuring music you really like and music you had forgotten you really like and music you will soon really like. Nobody can go from Rancid to Whitney Houston like Finishing School can.

It's crowded, sweaty and joyous. Come along and shake it. You've been to other club nights... now come to the Finishing School.
