Tango in Osterley House
Tango in Osterley House
DJ & Organiser: Warren Edwardes
"DJ Warren Edwardes plays silky smooth traditional tango blending energetic 40s Golden Age with romantic 50s Silk Age tunes beyond the plinky plonky squeaky squawky sounds of early recordings.
There will be a slick tsunami alternating rhythmical and lyrical tangos developing from the simple to the complex."
Q: Where can I leave my sunglasses?
A: In your tanguero's pocket.
Q: Is there somewhere safe to leave handbags there?
A: No. But there are unlikely to be passers by in the area.
Q: There is a sticky bit on the floor here. Can you clean it?
A: Yes. But you do it. Wet a tissue; get on your knees; and clean it.
Q: There are people out there taking photos of me. Can you get them to stop!
A: No. It is a public place. Wear a hijab. Or go home.
Q: Why does the car park charge?
A: They want to make money so they can plant trees and maintain the building. Join up an it is free.
Q: The music isn't loud enough. Can you turn it up?
A: It is at max. I don't have access to power. The people are absorbing the sound.
Q: There are too many people.
A: Go home then. That'll sort it.
Q: Put down a sprung floor.
A: Great idea. You do it.
Q: The lights are too bright.
A: Wear sunglasses. They are in your tanguero's pocket.
There will be photos and filming by the organisers and other tangueros and by fascinated members of the public.
These will be published on social media such as Facebook and YouTube.
If you object please do not come.
