The Lawns Social Club, Taunton, United Kingdom
Computer World is a monthly club night dedicated to playing the very best of before, during and after the 80s electro pop, new wave and alternative / electronic music, with dashes of disco, punk and goth.....and the odd curveball here and there!
Named in honour of Kraftwerk's legendary 1981 album, 'Computer World' has run in Taunton monthly on a Saturday since summer 2021. We'll be delivering a 5 hour playlist blending classic synth-centric tunes you know by heart (so there's no excuse for not singing along!), as well as tunes you forgot you loved back in the day.
Join us as we mark Valentine's Day 24 hours late (well, this is the nearest Saturday to the day of love & devotion, so why not!) and attempt to deliver a LOVE THEMED FIVE HOUR PLAYLIST, not necessarily consisting of slow numbers, but you never know!
So, let's think about this...it could mean tracks like:
Thompson Twins - Love On Your Side
Simple Minds - Love Song
Howard Jones - What Is Love?
The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't Have Fallen In Love With)
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough
Bauhaus - The Passion Of Lovers
Public Image Limited - This Is Not A Love Song
Erasure - Sometimes
Yazoo - Don't Go
Midge Ure - If I Was
Dead Or Alive - Lover Come Back To Me
ABC - The Look Of Love
The Sisters Of Mercy - Temple Of Love
Eurythmics - Love Is A Stranger
OMD - So In Love
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
The Lotus Eaters - The First Picture Of You
The Human League - Love Action
The Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way
Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly
We're sure you get the idea from that sample list, but feel free to suggest others in the "check-out" question when you book your tickets! And, we're also fans of a good, old fashioned 12" extended mix, so be ready for longer, remixed versions at various points during the session!
VALENTINE THEMED DRESSING UP COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! But will be very welcome :)
The Lawns Social Club
Mary Street, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 3PE United Kingdom
VENUE LOCATION: The Lawns Social Club is located in the heart of Taunton, on the A38, opposite the High Street car park, and a 15 minute walk from the railway station.
ABOUT PARKING: There is a small car park on site, and a much larger public car park directly opposite the venue which is usually free after 6pm (but do check the signage on arrival to verify this). Should you be lucky enough to find a space in the on-site car park, you will be required to enter your registration number on a tablet within 10 minutes of parking up. The tablet is located at the main reception. Failure to do so will incur a hefty fine which we won't be able to overturn!
ABOUT SEATING: Please note that The Lawns Social Club has ample unreserved seating, but purchasing a ticket doesn't guarantee you a seat, so with that in mind you should aim to arrive for the event as early as you possibly can. Exception: we will reserve a seat in advance for the mobility-impaired and wheelchair users, who should contact the organiser (JD Events) immediately upon ticket purchase should a seat or space be required.
FOOD & BEVERAGE AVAILABILITY: The Lawns Social Club offers a full bar service from 6pm, and a range of hot and cold bar snacks and meals. Call them directly nearer the time to inquire about what's on the menu - 07891 996010. Alternatively, there are many restaurant or fast food choices a stone's throw away.
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS: There are two hotels within a few minutes walk of The Lawns Social Club - 1) The Corner House Hotel, and, 2) The Taunton House Hotel. There are also two Premier Inn hotels within a 5 minute drive.
