Strictly Handbag <Strictlyhandbag>
"On the Floor since '94!"


FRIDAYS at The Sugar Club, Leeson St. Lower, Dublin 2.


Dublin’s longest running club night - On the Floor since '94 with Music with Words for your Dancing Pleasure....

"It’s still number one, it's still Strictly Handbag" wrote Brian Boyd in The Ticket Magazine, The Irish Times : and why – it’s pretty simple – it’s all down to our 80’s based music policy – we play music from and inspired by the 80’s. Perfect, stylish pop songs made for dancing.

  • After 14years

    After 14 years it's time to call it a day for Monday Night Handbag - but we're going strong in The Sugar Club on Friday nights and The Loft on Saturdays.

    Amazing Baby played live for 30 minutes, with support from Sinead NiMhordha. Club was packed - 500 people. MGMT, Mercury Rev, Dirty Pretty Things and Har Mar Superstar all in attendence and having a blast. All in aid of MGMT sold out Ambassador gigs. Also marks the final Strictly Handbag on Monday nights. The night finished with some Karaoke for Dirty Pretty Things/MGMT and Har Mar in Ukiyo - bizzare stuff - but great fun!

    GLASVEGAS PLAYING ONE OFF DJ SET IN SPY AS PART OF THE STRICTLY HANDBAG 14TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.

    On Monday the 27th October Glasvegas, are flying to Dublin with their record bags, for a special guest appearance at Strictly Handbag’s 14th Birthday Party in SPY - Dublin's longest running club night.

    Glasvegas have rewritten the rules on what an indie band should look and sound like and their debut album stormed straight in at the top of the charts. They harness the bleakly romantic spirit of their native Scotland, to wall of noise that would make the Jesus and Mary chain or The Velvet Underground proud. We eagerly await what rock n roll gems the boys will pull out when they get behind the decks.

    This show is the culmination of a long weekend of festivities celebrating Strictly Handbag's 14th Birthday, which also includes parties on Friday at Handbag in The Sugar Club and Saturday at Handbag in The Loft at The Purty kitchen Monkstown.

    Strictly Handbag has a new Monday night HQ, SPY on South William St. Once a hangout for the city's ruling classes and their new moneyed minions, Spy has recently been glamorously deconstructed, making it the city's most exiting and unpredictable club space. The action takes place over three levels with plenty of cozy corners for communing and canoodling.

    In short a perfect home for Strictly Handbag's unique brand of Monday night mayhem.

  • Republic of Loose - DJ set - Sugar Club

    It's with great pleasure we have the Republic of Loose kicking off the Strictly Handbag 14th Birthday weekender in The Sugar Club on Friday 24th October with a all night DJ set from Brez and Ben.

    Widely regarded as one of the best bands Ireland has produced in recent years, Republic Of Loose also do a fine line in DJing and wrecking dancefloors with some wild selections. They recently released their second album Vol IV: Johnny Pyro and the Dance of Evil live. The band’s latest builds on the success of Aaagh! which reached number two in the Irish charts and garnered two nominations apiece for the prestigious Meteor and Choice Awards.
