Sink The Pink is an East London club night that has grown to become much more than just a club. It was founded in 2008 by best friends Amy Redmond and Glyn Fussell. The club is often described as 'the ultimate house party experience'. It has proven so popular due to the detail of its personal touches and each night being themed. With a fancy dress corner, rails of clothes and wigs, and a make up stand called 'Glitter my Shitter' avaliable to transform a look. Word of mouth around East London and press from The Guardian, Le Cool, ID, The Evening Standard, Time Out, Attitude and guest DJ slots. Sink The Pink rolls at a consistant high-energy, known as a place to come to fully let your hair down. This has made it a ground breaking movement, particuarly during a time of recession, with its encouragement into total escapism, ridiculous behaviour and championing of fun.

It began in a small gay bar in Islington, and has grown to fill venues of 1000+ such as the Village Underground. It has been held at The Green, The Resistance Gallery, Concrete, Bethnal Green Working Mens Club, The Shacklewell Arms, Dalston Superstore and Village Underground. Sink The Pink host tents at festivals including Glastonbury, Bestival and Lovebox. In August 2010 Sink The Pink became a radio show on Saturday nights between 6-8pm on Gaydar Radio, within 3 months the show was so popular it was aired on Sundays 6-10pm.

"This is what happens when Studio 54 meets a suburban kids ball pool centre, it's a camptastic rave up, a joyous mess of face paints glitter and wigs!" Guardian Guide

"A charm filled antithesis of the mega brands and ground hog day venues, this feels like the future of London clubbing!" Attitude Magazine

"Sink the Pink is fun, young and very silly, full of handsome young gay men, their girly pals and straight men in skirts all getting crazy to the best party music out there, ACE." QX Magazine

“It's been possible to note a shift in London's gay scene recently, away from the more militant clubs of Soho, towards sillier, more inclusive parties in the East — such as the very amusing Sink the Pink, soon to move to hipster club the Dalston Superstore. It seems gay culture is not just for gays any more.” Evening Standard
