Saturday 3rd November- Night of The Jackalope aboard the MS Stubnitz

Hello Folks.

This weekend we have Night of The Jackalope aboard the rather amazing MS Stubnitz.

The Motorship Stubnitz is an 80 meters long ex East German fishing vessel transformed in 1992 into a moving platform for cultural research and exchange. Originally Built in 1964 in the former East German city of Stralsund and weighing in at over two and half thousand tons the Stubnitz “roving neutral venue” travels from its homeport Rostock around the Baltic and North Sea, physically networking with cities such as Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Newcastle , Hamburg, St. Petersburg and now, since July 2012 in London.

The Motorship Stubnitz is truly one of the most remarkable venues in the world and we’ve managed to commandeer it for the night on Saturday 3rd November.

Night of the Jackalope promises to be an all night sonic celebration of the strange and the spectacular.. and anyone who can find it is most welcome.

a wondrous line up including…

John Fairhurst, Paddy Steer, Sunlight Service Group, Maia, John Stammers, The No Sorrows and Woodpecker Wooliams.

Plus formidable dj sets from Chris ‘The Judge’ Arthur, Horton Jupiter and Jah Shabby.

This is gonna be one hell of a night, Hope you can make it!!

The address of the entrance is: Bascule bridge, Woolwich Manor Way, E16 2NJ

it is a 7 min walk from DLR ‘Gallions Reach’
