Having been at the heart of the UK’s indiepop scene for the last four years as the man behind Glasgow’s legendary National Pop League club night, John Hunt is now stepping out with Butcher Boy, a group of his own. Imagine Tindersticks, Felt, Lloyd Cole, Morrissey and songs to die for.
"Wonderful." [The Guardian]

Main support comes from a brilliant new band from Finland - Cats On Fire - who marry the lyrical flair and melodic swagger of The Smiths with a sweet garage pop influence to form a cool new take on indiepop. Their debut album, 'The Province Complains', is out soon on German indie Marsh Marigold. This will be their debut London show.

How Does It Feel To Be Loved? is a London club night that plays indiepop, northern soul, tamla motown, girl groups, and sixties heartbreak. They've been running since 2002 and in that time have had a host of guest DJs play at HDIF, including Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian), David Gedge (Wedding Present), Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Stephen Street (Smiths/Blur producer), Tracyanne Campbell (Camera Obscura), Dan Treacy (Television Personalities), and many more.

"A legendary indie club" [NME].

"A speakeasy for anyone who suspects that their life is one big Smiths song." [Big Issue]

After the bands, HDIF and National Pop League DJs will be playing some records, so we hope you stick around to dance in London's most beautiful small venue.
