Tim Telling
Tim Telling (Disco Sucks) . DISCO SUCKS was the club night partially responsible for the gentrification of Stroud. Often cited alongside ‘excellent schools’ and ‘good transport links’ by young middle class London couples trying to shake down their parents for a house deposit, Disco Sucks ran for years at SVA with capacity crowds and some truly harrowing clear-up sessions involving sticky floors and bins full of wee. Like most legends, the night itself is perhaps best left in the past but its DJs are somehow still alive, and even more remarkably haven’t sold all their records to pay for rehab: Tim Telling will play good and unusual records, probably starting with some slow electronic/rock music made by weird people that nobody liked at the time, then maybe some moody disco or ‘Balearic’ and probably The Doors at the end.
