How Does It Feel To Be Loved?''' (often abbreviated to '''HDIF ) is a
London-based night club which predominately plays
indie pop,
Northern Soul and
Motown music. On the club's
website, founder Ian Watson explains: "We love pop, we love guitars that jangle, we love foot stomping melodies and huge choruses." The club's name is taken from the lyrics to
The Velvet Underground song "Beginning to See the Light".
Watson, a former ''
Melody Maker'' journalist, began the night in April 2002 at the Buffalo Bar in
Islington. It is currently based at the
Canterbury Arms,
Brixton, and
