A septuagenarian couple from Poland have wowed partygoers at Fabric nightclub by downing tequila shots and raving until 5am.

The evergreen pair arrived at the establishment in London at around 10pm on Sunday night after visiting their daughter in Watford over the weekend.

DJ and promoter Jacob Husley recounted the unusual visitors in a Facebook post, saying the couple had read a positive review of Fabric in a newspaper and decided to come along.

Husley wrote: “I told them they had free bar, 2 shots of tequila to start, but after that asked if they could have cups of tea.

“They were on the dancefloor doing ballroom-type dancing, although not too long as she was using a crutch and didn't walk too well.”

The unidentified couple from Warsaw reportedly did not speak good English and onlookers thought they were either lost or knew someone working at the club.

However the wife confirmed they had purchased the tickets online in advance and enjoyed visiting nightclubs in their home country.

The pair proved popular with other ravers and were spotted enjoying the techno and trance on the ground floor of the club.

At the end of the night the couple took up Husley’s offer to pay for their taxi home instead of waiting for a tube.

Husley continued: “They said they had a great time and loved the crowd and vibe...what an amazing couple.

“So much humour, love and playfulness between these two ...our bodies might age but our souls are timeless.”
