Dublin's longest running club night...
Strictly Handbag, Dun Laoghaire.
Dublin's longest running club night recently celebrated its 13th birthday. With offshoots in Sligo and Limerick, as well as their Dublin residency - Mondays at Ri-Ra - the latest addition to the Strictly stable was launched last month at The Bodega.
There's a broadly 1980s music policy, headed by glam local legend DJ Dandelion, and the night is blessed with the sort of celebrity endorsement that money just can't buy. Past highlights include Radiohead hitting the dancefloor, Dennis Hopper being seduced by Dandelion's playlist and a visit by Neil Sedaka, complete with his leather-clad minder.
