Dirty Boots @ The Halfmoon – Friday 29th January

As the possible closure of the Halfmoon looms at the end of January, you can expect an all round party vibe in celebration of the legendary venue in Putney. We at DirtyBoots will do our best to help try to save one of London’s oldest grass root venues by putting on a night on what [...]

Michael Kiwanuka… This kid is the real deal.

I have selfishly kept this artist to myself for a couple of months now as Michael Kiwanuka is the sort of artist that comes along once in a blue moon and I really wanted to savour the intimate shows that I have been lucky enough to check out over the last month.  Don’t worry he will still be [...]

SAD NEWS: Legendary Music Venue Half Moon in Putney to close.

We are absolutely gutted to hear that The Halfmoon Putney, one of London’s last independent live music venues, may have to call time on almost 50 years of hosting live music.  Dirty Boots started in South West London and so to lose a venue on our doorstep is a big deal to us. Dirty Booters [...]
