229
Wendy May’s Locomotion returns to London to celebrate it’s 40th anniversary with a special one off at 229 (opposite Great Portland Street) with the original DJ line up from the legendary club more.
Wendy May’s Locomotion was mentioned in Nick Hornby’s book ’31 Songs’ within his chapter ‘Velvelettes – Needle in a Haystack’ about being a regular Locomotion goer and big fan.
Frequented by the likes of Madness, Elvis Costello, Paul Weller, it became home from home for The Pogues. Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim did one of his first ever DJ sets warming up for Wendy when he was the bass player with The Housemartins, and Phill Jupitus first took to the decks at her club!
In 1987, Wendy May co-presented the last series of ‘The Tube’ for Channel 4 with Jools Holland & Paula Yates whilst also being the only female DJ & « youth presenter » on London’s Capital Radio, giving live sessions to up & coming session.
