    London's secret scenes

    B-girls can hold their own on the body-popping scene


  • Social painting
    Paintjam, a new social club that’s sprung up at the Candid Arts Centre (3 Torrens St, EC1V 1NQ), invites people to release their inner artist while meeting new folk. They provide the easel, canvas, paint and brushes, and you provide the inspiration. Okay, so you’re more Playschool than Picasso, not a problem – the emphasis here is on expressive creativity rather than masterful technique. Crucially, there’s booze on hand to help you find the muse.
    See www.paintjam.co.uk for dates and times. £40, including all art materials. Food and drink served throughout the evening.

    Why not go to the original painting gig at Westbourne Studios in Notting Hill.They do recycled canvases for £30 and it is a way cooler venue. www.fig108.com

    £40 is steep and makes me think it might only attract city types, etc (who I'm not necessarily interested in meeting). The materials can't cost much more than a fiver so I'd be expecting a lobster dinner for my money.

    I agree with Marcus - I'd love a go at this but it's far too expensive... I would maybe fork out 25 quid.
