The King's Arms

West Street, Dorking. Our home from home, where the floor gets a proper workout.

The Star

Dorking. Our old stomping ground. For about ten years we rehearsed in the room upstairs when Ian was the landlord, then came down to join in at the end of open mic night. It'll always have a special place in our hearts.

Your place?

Pubs, parties, weddings, festivals. If there's a floor, we'll fill it. Get in touch.

The story so far

A quarter of a century of noise

For 25 years Eclectix have been turning Dorking's pubs into dance floors.

Drums up front, a scarlet fiddle cutting through the middle, and pop songs you know reworked into something you weren't expecting. That's the formula, and it hasn't failed us yet.

For about ten years our home was the room upstairs at the Star, rehearsing while Ian was the landlord, then heading downstairs to join in at the end of open mic night.

Eclectix take the songs everyone knows and give them a good shake: Mr Blue Sky and The Lovecats, Summer in the City and Grace Kelly, Rasputin and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!. If it gets a pub singing, it's fair game.

From the scrapbook

Twenty-five years of sweaty nights

Packed pubs, marquees, red rooms and the odd studio session. Here's a few snaps from along the way.
