Islington Mill’s NYE house party may possibly be the last ever in the old House of the mill; proceeds from this year’s bash go towards literally raising the (new) roof as part of the organisation’s Capital Fundraiser. The line-up looks splendid as ever, with pop-up live performances, DJ Riv taking over the Kitchen Stereo, Joyce D’Vision promising ‘seven minutes of heaven’ in the bedroom and Madame Puotien organising beer pong. There will be karaoke sessions from Fat Out in the wee hours and a full set of decorations. Epic.
