Hey Folks,
Well, with November simply running away with us, we look forward to the beginning of the “Christmas” month, which for the gay community signals a major event, World Aids Day, which falls on a Tuesday. We are busy compiling our special feature on this year, covering the best places to be out there for this now mammoth day in the diary and the feature post will be out this weekend.
However, in the meantime there are some clubbing “Hot Dates” that deserve a mention, two in London and one down on the south coast in Brighton (O.M.G. Disco Matt reaches beyond the capital!!).
First up and on Sunday 29th Nov (close enough) is the return of Scandal at the Shadow Lounge in Soho, which proved a really popular choice, post Soho Live 09. Once again, the night will be full of front page scandal & hosted by the unscrupulous Madame Alekssandra Cecilato, with D.J’s Chris Brogan, who took Salvation Brazil by storm & Alessandro, who will be fresh from his trip to Salvation Moscow, as well as a curtain call performance from Juliana De Primo. Now, we hear that plenty of outrage, besmirching & reputation tugging will be the order of the night, but, of course all in the best possible taste & for a great cause to boot, the Elton John AIDS Foundation no less. With pre-parties at Rupert St on Sunday 22nd November (we will be there) and The Box on the night itself, there will be plenty of extra scandalous action going on this time round. So in the inimitable words of the promoter, “Let there be no more cover ups or false allegations, but be there when the scandal breaks!!
Next up, and in a departure for us, is coverage of an event away from gAylist London, in Brighton no less (well it as more gay than the capital sometimes!!) and probably the biggest club brand to hit the seaside shores, Wild Fruit throw their “Red Party” at the cities (yes Brighton is a city!) biggest venue, Oceana on Sunday 6th Dec, with probably THE biggest line up we have seen in ages. Guests include Boy George, the Freemasons, Patsy Palmer (Ricky!!) & Rowetta, with massive vocals from Beverley Knight, a multi music award winning artist. The D.J. list is huge & includes Tasty Tim, Brighton’s own Jon Byrne, Kate Wildblood, Yvette (yes she can spin!) & special London guest Hi-Fi Sean as well as at least 14 more talents across five (yes five) rooms of fun. Red is definitely the name of the game and everyone is encouraged to dress up, even if it’s just a red bow. This is Brighton’s biggest & original best World AIDS day party with fundraising fundamental to the event, but fun being elemental to it all. And with an afterparty “Rebel Red” at The Honeyclub, looks like we will be having Monday off!!
Last up is Matinee, which returns to Cable in London Bridge on Sat 5th Dec, for another night of seductive, sexy gAylist clubbing at its best, with top notch D.J. line up, the biggest collection of dancers you have ever seen, all dressed appropriately by some of London’s biggest designers as well as specially shipped in outfits from Ibiza & the best production that Cable has experienced in the hands of this Espaniol giant brand. With red partying being the central theme, or as they say in Spanish, “La Noche Roja”, the whole venue will be decked in massive red drapes & all things red, which will make a truly massive impact. Confirmed D.J’s include regulars Guy Williams, Paul Heron, Brent Nicholls & Alessandro, with the return to the decks by Pier Morrocco, Jonny M & Saki as well as Spanish Matinee resident Lydia Sanz, who plays Cable for the first time, but if her performances at Colloseum are anything to go by, she will blow the roof off with her truly hard yet uplifting sounds to compliment the Balearic infused, tech, progressive & funky house tunes of the rest. The night will definitely have a “Christmas” theme in the usual Matinee “over the top” style, but will also pay homage to World AIDS day, with donations requested on the door for a major charity to be announced.
More details of these events, including opening times, ticket availability & website links will follow in up-coming posts, but three events to definitely scroll in your diaries now!!
Be There!
